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.

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. 💚

Story
Leila is a purebred Siberian Husky, born November 8, 2020. We’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old, and she’s been a loving part of our family ever since.She’s super smart, affectionate, and full of personality. Like most huskies, Leila is very high-energy and thrives in an environment where she has plenty of space to run, play, and stay mentally stimulated. She would do best with an active owner or a home that understands the needs of the breed.This has been a very difficult decision for us. We recently welcomed a newborn, and despite our best intentions, we’re finding it challenging to meet both our baby’s needs and give Leila the time, attention, and freedom she truly deserves. Our priority is making sure she has the happy, fulfilling life she’s used to.We are looking for a loving, committed home that can give Leila the exercise, structure, and attention she needsRabies vaccine booster is needed

Story
Apple Jacks is a young (born 1.18.23) male Husky/Akita mix. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, and we're still fine-tuning house, crate, and leash training. Apple Jacks was born in our rescue, along with his other siblings we named the Cereal Killer Crew, in keeping with the theme started with their mom, Cheerio : Frosted Mini Wheat "Frosty", Cinnamon Toast Crunch "Cinnamon", Cocoa Puff "Cocoa", Cap'n Crunch "Cap'n", Lucky Charms "Lucky", Fruit Loops "Fruity", and Apple Jacks "Jack". These pups (born 1.18.23) were born to Akita mom, Cheerio, so we HAD to name them after cereals 😅 We didn't know Cheerio was pregnant when she arrived with us. We took her to the vet for what we *thought* was a UTI but.... surprise! She was pregnant. She was surrendered to the shelter with 3 huskies, including an intact male, so we feel we can safely call these guys Akita/Husky mixes (Huskitas). She whelped 8 puppies (4 girls, and 4 boys), but one of the females (Rice Crispy) was still born. Apple Jacks is very friendly with people and other dogs. He would do well in a home with a female canine companion.
