Story
I need to find a new home for Sana, my 2 year old female Akita. I have safety concerns about having her around my newborn and 6 year old son. She exhibits prey drive towards small animals, so at this time she is not safe with kids and cats. Sana has never bitten anyone nor shown overt signs of aggression towards people. She is very wary of strangers but warms up and becomes friendly after a few visits. My friends all love Sana, and she loves them. Sana weighs about 95lbs and is a powerful dog, so any adopter will need to be in strong enough physical condition to handle her. She is sometimes aggressive to other dogs. Sana knows basic commands but will require further training. An owner with experience handling dominant-type breeds would be best. Sana would be happiest as a companion animal for someone because she craves attention and experiences separation anxiety. She eats normal food and has no known health problems. She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped.

Click the button to download the adoption application. The application is a form-fillable pdf. Fill out the form, save it to your hard drive, then email back to sian@gingerspetrescue.org Hi!  My name is Akira from Korea and I am a wonderful approximately 1 year old female Akita mix.  I am approximately 37 lbs. and so excited to find my new forever home.  I am very happy, affectionate, and friendly.  l was saved from the Korean dog meat farm where I was due to be slaughtered.  I don’t know how I ended up there but I was so scared and I used to hear the cries from the other dogs as they were taken away.  The activists came and saved us and I can't wait to come to America and find a family to love and care for me forever.  Approximately over a million dogs a year are slaughtered to be eaten.  I am so lucky to get a one-way ticket to Seattle to find my new family.  Take me on car rides, walks in the park, and I will become your best friend.  I get along well with people of all ages, gentle kids, and other dogs.  I will do best with a loving family that can give me lots of love, and affection!  On all overseas adoption, we highly recommend our pet rescue dog trainer who will come to your home and help train your new pup for only $75.  My adoption fee of $1,595 will cover my spay/neuter, DA2PP shots, Rabies, Bordetella, Deworm, Heart Worm Test, Microchip, Boarding Fees, Health Certificate and airline transport cost from Korea to Seattle.    A GPS tracker or Apple AirTag is required for all adopted dogs. You can bring your own when adopting or you can purchase an AirTag from us.   We cannot guarantee breed or age. The adoption fee is firm and helps save the life of another dog needing rescue and our other dogs in need of medical care.  Donations are always appreciated to help pay down our vet bills at Greenwood Vet.  Ginger's Pet Rescue is a non-profit 501C-3 organization.  Please e-mail  sian@gingerspetrescue.org    for an adoption application.    September 26, 2023, 6:04 am

Story
Hi! My name is Asher and I’m a 4 year old Akita/Shepherd mix who is looking for his forever family. Asher is currently in a foster home and this is what his foster family has to say about him! I am a sweet, loving and loyal dog. I love to go for long walks or a trail run followed by a good nap. My big, furry, floppy ears are perfect for scratches. I am very affectionate and would love nothing more than to snuggle next to you on the couch. Asher does well on leash and is crate trained. He is a fast learner and has mastered many basic skills. He will thrive in a home that can continue basic obedience with him. He can be mouthy when playing and gets excited easily so a house with children over 12 or is adult only would be best. Asher can do well with other dogs and can sometimes get vocal and over-excited when meeting other dogs for the first time. He would do really well in a home that can continue dog socialization. Group classes with other dogs would be helpful where he can learn some proper doggie play manners. He would be best suited as an only dog or with one other dog around his size with proper intros and an experienced home. He’d also be fine in a home with a feline friend. Asher is neutered, UTD on shots and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500.

Meet Duke! This guy is hilarious and will crack you up with his facial expressions as he meanders around. He's extremely laid back and just enjoys napping and attention. Duke is about 10 years old and weighs 45 pounds, and he looks like a cattle dog/Akita mix. He is just looking for a comfortable home to spend his golden years.One of our generous donors has offered to completely cover the adoption fee for Solaris to help him find the forever home he deserves for his golden years!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as ''Out of Town'' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.September 26, 2023, 9:14 pm

Meet Joy🩷 Joy is the sweetest pup! She is gentle and adorable and steals everyone’s heart. She is great at building relationships with people!👍🏻 She loves people so much and is affectionate. 🥰 She loves other dog friends and is very playful! But since she has high energy, she can play too rough at times. Through training, she now approaches other dog friends politely! ❤ She doesn’t like to be confined in a small space and wants to be out in spacious areas.

Story
Met Jony, the cutest yet the laziest Huskita you’d ever met. We adopted Jony in the summer of 2021 from a local shelter. Neither of us has ever had a dog before let along any experience handling such a big one (75lb). But Jony was so handsome and adorable we decided to take a leap of faith. Jony turned out to be an angel, he’s been easy and healthy since day 1 and brought so much laughter to our household. Due to change in employment, we’re moving to a developing country that is also quite hostile towards big dogs like Jony. After much consideration, we think it is best to find Jony another loving family and stay in the U.S. Jony has a great temper and can be a bit silly at times, but he’s never been aggressive in any way shape or form. He’s food motivated and loves playing with other dogs at the dog park. He’s neutered and has incurred minimal medical costs since day 1. We think if we can handle him anyone should be able to without issues. Feel free to reach out if you like Jony Boy.

These pups are in Seattle, Washington too!

Winnie is in a foster home and is currently not at the shelter. Please find info below on how to adopt her, thanks. Are you looking for a constant companion? A good girl who wants nothing more than to be with her person? Meet Winnie. She is sweet and calm in the home with you by her side, and she is happy with lots of quiet time and all the attention you care to give her. What will you get in return? Undying loyalty and unbounded love. She loves people more than other animals and would like to be your one and only-but she's the only one you will need.

Meet Balto! He is loving, energetic, curious and cuddly! He is exceptionally handsome, too. Oh, and he is also smart - he knows sit and stay and he will ask to go outside when he needs to (he is fully housetrained). Balto is highly treat motivated, and he is eager and willing to learn a whole lot more. He loves his humans and will stay close by to keep an eye on you (he'll even curl up in bed with you at night if you invite him to)! He loves going for walks and is well behaved on his leash. You can see from his photos he loves the woods and hiking!When out and about, Balto is curious about everything and everyone he sees (so watch out bunnies and squirrels). He is well behaved at home during the day and will nap while you work. He gets along great with his canine foster sibling, and they enjoy lots of play time together.Pets are complex beings, and we could not possibly share everything about them in a short adoption bio.
