Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2025, 8:47 am

Story
Rex is a big, handsome boy with surprisingly easy leash manners. Despite his size, he walks calmly without pulling and takes treats very gently—clearly a polite gentleman who is also very treat motivated.He is absolutely stunning, inside and out, and brings a great sense of humor with him. After going potty, Rex feels very strongly about covering his work and enthusiastically kicks dirt everywhere. Need a four-legged tiller for your yard? Rex has you covered. ??Rex enjoys fetch and plays nicely—no guarding at all. He’ll happily replace his ball for a treat, showing off both his good manners and his eagerness to engage with his handler. He was adventurous and confident when trying out the ramp and approached new experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm.He’s a solid mid-energy boy who enjoys playtime but knows when he’s done. Rex would be a fantastic companion for someone looking for a fun, responsive, and well-mannered dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Rex A537062Neutered/3 yrs old/ 67 pounds/Listed as Great Dane and Akita mix Rex has found himself back at the shelter through no fault of his own. He wasn’t getting along with the resident dog but he also wasn’t given enough time to decompress and as a smart, energetic working breed, that adjustment time really matters. With the right structure, training, and outlet for his energy, Rex has all the potential to thrive. More about big handsome Rex:Active & athletic — enjoys running around and would love an adopter who’s ready to keep him moving Toy fanatic! Loves all the toys—fetch, tug, and proudly holding onto the ball like it’s his prized possession Affectionate guy who offers sweet kisses once he’s having funSmart cookie who knows sit and is highly treat-motivated (training will be a win!)Playful but polite — didn’t mind sharing toys, just likes to keep one closeHouse-training potential — went potty several times outsideThose ears! They truly have a personality of their ownRex will do best with:A family who understands working breeds and can provide exercise, mental enrichment, and consistencyPositive training to help manage sometimes jumping on people when he gets excited.A slow, thoughtful intro to any resident dogs after proper decompressionRex is a happy, fun-loving boy who just needs someone willing to meet him where he is and help him become the best version of himsel

Story
If you are interested in Ricky, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org. With the help of a compassionate donor, this Pet Pal is one step closer to a forever home! Ricky will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Meet Ricky, a 2-year-old Siberian Husky who runs on sunshine, curiosity, and pure joy. He’s stunningly handsome (yes, people stop to ask about him), confident, and incredibly friendly with dogs and people alike. Bikes, joggers, squirrels, loud trucks? No big deal—Ricky stays focused and ready for whatever adventure is next. This guy is perpetual motion in the best way. He walks at a brisk, purposeful pace; loves to run; and somehow also knows when it’s time to slow down. An active home is a must—bonus points if there’s a fenced yard or plenty of opportunities for running, ball throwing, or long hikes. Ricky is smart, treat-motivated, and eager. He’s working on basic commands, and with consistency (and toys for redirection), he will shine. He has a playful, goofy side that pops out unexpectedly—especially if a squeaky toy is involved. Fair warning: If he sees it, he will grab it! Tug toys and tennis balls are his jam and are great for channeling his energy. He’s also very dog-social and would love a playful dog sibling to romp around with. This handsome fellow is a friendly, high-energy, big-hearted husky with a fantastic disposition. He’s ready for an active family who wants a running partner, an adventure buddy, and a very handsome sidekick. If you’re looking for a dog who’s always up for one more mile, Ricky is your guy!
