Story

🐾 MEET KIKI – 1-Year-Old Japanese Akita 🐾 Kiki is a beautiful 1-year-old female Japanese Akita looking for a very special home to help her blossom. She is sweet, shy, and gentle, but still learning confidence in new situations. With time, patience, and consistency, Kiki shows her loving and affectionate personality. She is still very much a young dog and will need continued training and socialization to help her thrive. Due to her breed traits, Kiki will require an experienced Akita or large guardian-breed adopter who understands the needs, independence, and loyalty that come with Japanese Akitas. ⚠️ Please note: * Kiki has not yet been cat or dog tested, but testing will be completed soon * She will need continued training and structure * Breed experience is required for adoption consideration The Japanese Akita breed is known for being loyal, intelligent, strong-willed, and deeply devoted to their people. They do best in homes that can provide leadership, patience, and a calm, structured environment. If you are interested in giving Kiki the time and home she deserves, we would love to schedule a meet and greet with her. 📞 Please contact the shelter for more information or to set up an appointment. Let’s find Kiki the experienced, loving home she needs to truly shine. 🖤🐕

Meet Sitka! This puppy cuteness was found running stray in March by a good Samaritan. He had no collar and no microchip. After following all the local laws and looking for an owner to no avail, he was brought to us. He is great with adults and other dogs. Due to some suspected mean people in his past, he will need a home without young children. He is looking for his forever home through our rescue. 💚
