Story
Meet this handsome guy! This 6-year-old neutered male Akita is a big love with an even bigger heart. One of his favorite things? Giving hugs — he’s affectionate, loyal, and enjoys being close to his people. He walks well on a leash and carries himself with the calm confidence Akitas are known for. True to his breed, he is not your typical first-time dog owner dog and would do best with someone who understands (or is eager to learn about) the Akita personality and appreciates a strong, independent companion. If you’re looking for a devoted, dignified dog who bonds deeply and shows his love in the sweetest ways, this guy may be your perfect match.If you are interested in meeting Domino, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12p & 2p-5:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p.If you do not own your home, bring consent from the property owner to have a dog on the property. As always, if you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet before you complete the adoption. Adoption fees: 6m and younger $250, 7m-5y $200, 6y-10y $150, 11y and older $100.

Story
Meet Theresa, a beautiful 3-year-old Akita with a quiet elegance and a gentle heart. She came to us as a stray, and while her past is a bit of a mystery, her personality is slowly shining through. Theresa is friendly and affectionate with people she knows and trusts. New situations can be a little overwhelming for her—she can be nervous around loud noises and is still learning to feel comfortable walking on a leash. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, she continues to make progress every day. Because of her sensitive nature, Theresa would do best in a calm home with someone who has Akita experience and understands the value of going at her pace. Given time to settle in and feel secure, she has the potential to be a deeply loyal and loving companion.If you’re looking for a graceful soul who just needs patience and understanding to truly blossom, Theresa may be the perfect match. Theresa has currently came back from a foster home and has been with a dog and horses and has done well. She is housebroken and loves children. If you are interested in meeting Theresa, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12:30p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12:30p & 2p-6:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p. Adoption application can be filled out and approved during your meet-and-greet. If you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet before you complete the adoption!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She is a beautiful 12-week-old golden-tan puppy with a soft, fluffy coat and the sweetest brown eyes. Her warm honey coloring with slightly darker shading on her head makes her truly stand out. She is affectionate, gentle, and very people-oriented — she loves sitting close, watching you, and being included in whatever you’re doing. Like any young puppy, she’s curious, playful, and still learning about the world around her. I’m looking for a loving and stable home that has the time, patience, and commitment to continue her training and give her the attention she deserves. She would thrive with someone who can provide consistency, daily playtime, and companionship. In the right home, she has so much potential to grow into a loyal, kind, and devoted lifelong companion.
