Story
A sweet, loving boy to his people ‘pack’, Sully just turned one in March and is displaying bad teenage behavior. He is food aggressive towards our other dogs and more leary of strangers coming into our home. Today, sadly, he went after one of our cats. He would be wonderful in a home with adults / older children and no other pets. He is up to date in all shots, potty trained, and well loved.

Story
Hello there, I'm Max, a seasoned Akita with a heart full of love. My days are filled with friendly tail wags and curious sniffs around my humble abode. I've got a mellow demeanor, but don't let that fool you, I'm quite the smarty. I've learned a lot in my years and I'm eager to share my wisdom. I'm the kind of dog who appreciates the simple joys of life. A warm bed, a good meal, and a kind hand to pat my head are all I need to be happy. My golden years are just as golden as my spirit. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and wisdom. Adopt me and let's make beautiful memories together.

Story
Hello, I'm Bruno, a senior Akita with a heart full of love. I'm a friendly chap, always ready to share a goofy joke or a funny antic. My loyalty knows no bounds, and I promise to be your most faithful companion. I'm a bit of an old soul, but that just means I've got plenty of wisdom to share. I love lazy afternoons, belly rubs, and the joy of companionship. I might be a senior, but my spirit is young. I'm full of life, love, and laughter. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, always ready to brighten your day with a wagging tail and a warm nuzzle. So, how about it? Will you give this old dog a new leash on life?

                                                                             KENNEL ID #01658&#226&#128&#139 Panda and his blood-brother Ghost are 3 year old male akitas, who were surrendered as a result of an animal cruelty/domestic violence case. They came to us incredibly underweight from being starved. They were covered in scars and wounds, they did not get along with each other and would fight, their injuries have been addressed. After everything they have been through, they are beyond sweet to their care takers and are loving all of the extra attention. Ghost and Panda are chilling at the Ranch in TX. These guys are still looking for homes and are available to transport back to PA.   Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption please submit an application to adopt. APPLICATION TO ADOPT: https://form.jotform.com/240606049335150      If you have any questions regarding the adoption process please email:  dianespets1486@gmail.com April 26, 2024, 5:26 pm

Story
High energy, very sweet, and docile dog with a really funny personality. I have had Gambit since he was 3 months old. Adopted him directly from a breeder. Unfortunately, I can no longer provide Gambit with the time, energy, and love he deserves. I just want him to go to a good home with the resources and time to care for him. The adoption fee will go towards an animal no-kill shelter of your choice. I would just need a receipt as proof of donation.
