Story
Acquired: 2.8.20 Adopted: 4.70.20 Returned: 7.30.22 Gabby is a young (born 9.14.19) spayed female Akita. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Gabby came to us with her parents, Kiyoko and Keito, and her two brothers, Gabe and Gordon. They had all been left in the care of a friend of their owner when he fell on hard times. After several months, he told the friend to go ahead and find somewhere for them to go. Gabby was adopted out in 2020, but returned due to a tragedy in the family. She would do well in a home by herself or with the right male, canine friend.

Valerian is an adult (born approx 4.1.17) neutered male Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Story
Bandit is officially THE CUTEST akita/husky that we've ever seen! He was surrendered when his owner was moving and couldn't bring him along. He is 1.5yo, house trained and good with other dogs, cats, and older kids. His owner reports that he's very loyal with his people. He is crate trained and does best being crated when his people leave the house. He does guard his food, so it would be best if he's fed away from other animals and kids. His owner believes he would be best in a "one owner household". If you think Bandit would be a good fit for you, meet him today! He's a 100% certified good boy!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 5, 2024, 7:52 am

Story
Solomon went to the vet for his intake exam, and was the PERFECT gentleman!!! He loved the car ride, walked beautifully on-leash, and decided that everyone at the vet's office was his new best friend. Solomon is a healthy, happy, friendly, snuggly, well-mannered guy.And, this distinguished gentleman is still ready to PARTY! Toss a ball and he springs into action -- running to get it and actually bringing it back to you for more!!! Yes -- HE does the fetching, and you get to stand still! Solomon is a joyful, friendly, gentle, well-mannered guy who treats everyone he meets like a long-lost best friend. He also walks beautifully on leash, and will happily follow you to the ends of the earth. Or down the block and around the neighborhood. His favorite activities include being petted, napping in the sun, and being petted while napping in the sun.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.
