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
This is Aria! A husky and akita mix that was born in August of 2023. She is all up to date with her shots but has yet to be spayed and chipped. Due to a finical problems, physical incapability, and lack of time her owner is unable to keep her any more. She is skittish of strangers but give her time and plenty of treats and she'll warm right up to you! It is recommended that she goes to a house with older children as she loves to jump and play with her mouth. Aria is also very energetic so when she gets bored she'll find things to chew on so taking her on long walk on trails or playing in the water will help burn that energy! This playful pup is curious about other dogs so she'll do well with another equally playful companion. Someone at the house would help with her separation anxiety as she will find a way out in search of her loved ones. So a well secured fenced is a must! Experienced husky/high energy owners will love this little girl!
