Story
Magnolia is a young (born 8.14.22) spayed female Akita. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, heartworm negative, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Magnolia first came to our attention when she was listed on Craigslist as "FREE - Urgent Sick Puppy In Need Of Fenced Yard". Basically, she had been purchased by a back yard pitbull breeder, with the intent to breed her and create pit/Akita crosses, in Washington DC. She had been kept in a crate constantly, leading to pressure sores and urinary problems. We scrambled to find transport, but when we found some and went to contact the poster, the post was gone. A few days later, a new post appeared. Some kind person had rescued the puppy from the previous owner, but was not equipped to keep her. We reached out to them and quickly arranged transport for the puppy. The poor puppy hadn't even come with a name (though we later discovered it had been River, but felt she needed a new one), let alone any medical records. The rabies tag she was wearing belonged to a miniature Poodle from a vet practice in Maryland that had never even seen the Akita puppy. Magnolia is now safe with us, recovering medically, and learning how to live like a normal pup and interact with people. She is super sweet and LOVES playing with other dogs, but is still shy with people. She would do well in a home with a male canine companion.

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.
