Story
Haku means "pure" in Japanese! I was named for my pure, passionate and overwhelming love for everyone around me! I came to the rescue when my dad was stationed in Japan and heartbroken that he couldn't take me with him. I've missed him so much ever since! Everyday I do the things I did with him with other dogs so I can try and remember what it felt like to be with him! But it's just not the same. So, I'm hoping a new family can come scoop me up and show me what it feels like to be a part of a home and family again! I am good with other dogs, I love playing chase with them or tugging on chew toys. I'll need a happy and active home so that my life will be full of love and fun! I am a bit anxious and nervous around new people, and people in general! Slow introductions, a safe space I can retreat to like a crate and not forcing me into spaces with tons of people will help me be myself all the time! Haku can only be adopted in the local or TX area. Local adoption only, in San Antonio or TX area, $200.

These pups are in Herndon, Virginia too!

Story
Cassie's owner was  homeless and realized that he had to give her up for her sake.  She was frightened in the shelter initially, but warmed up to the staff fairly quickly.  When our volunteer went to meet her, all Cassie wanted to do was sit next to her and be petted.  She will not be available until after she is spayed in Mid-April.  We are still getting to know Cassie better so  stay tuned for more info.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 12:06 am

Story
Akai camd from a shelter in NC.  Here is what the shelter said about her: 'This beautiful girl is Akaie. She has been fostered out twice to potential adopters from our shelter but returned both times, as neither potential adopter was familiar with the breed and she was “too much” for them. There was no mention of aggression or anything dealing with behavior, just that she was too strong for one’s wife to walk while he is at work and then the second foster read information on the breed and decided she was not a match for her. We would love to find an Akita Rescue that could pull her from our facility and find the right family for her. ' The shelter workers adored her. Here is what we know about her from her time with us.  She is great with people.  Very particular about what dogs she likes.  Has a fairly high prey drive, so no small dogs or cats. She is at our kennel.  As with all Akitas, she does not like to potty in her run.  Update: Akai has been in a foster home for about 3 weeks. She’s been to the groomers and the vet, no issues with anyone there. She will sit, down and dance when you ask to. She mostly walks well with minor corrections.  She is housebroken and the foster says she is a gem. She has been to the foster’s place of business (store), and has been okay with most of the customers.  She is not crazy about men in baseball caps. A contractor waring a hat met her and when he held out his hand for her to sniff, she growled.  Once he removed his hat, she was fine. One man walked into the store and she disliked him so much she had to be out of the store.Sh barked intensely at him.  Akai needs a home with some Akita experience.

Story
Balto was in Alabama but came to us by way of California. The shelter in Alabama contacted the California rescue who contacted us.  Balto had been running as a stray and was attacked by a pack of 6 other dogs.  The shelter had him treated and healed.  They were desperate to find a rescue group for him. Luckily we had room available.  We  made arrangements with Hood's Pet Transport to get him from Alabama to Virginia.  A volunteer met the transport at 2 am, overnighted him, and then delivered him to our kennel. All the shelter personnel and vet personnel adored him.  Here is what the volunteer who overnighted him said 'Drop off successful. It was a hard good bye because he has so much potential and is a handsome boy! Generally, he did great with our cat. Balto had some interest and excitement with seeing the cat, but once the cat ran away, Balto didn’t chase after her. Our female lab did okay…there were 3 snaps that our dog instigated (she’s used to being queen bee in the house and was scared of Balto’s size). For the most part, Balto and our lab were okay in the same room together, as long as he didn’t get too excited and invade her space.  No signs of food aggression, and he had great potty training habits.  House manners have a long way to go. He did GREAT in the crate all night. No whining or attempt to escape, which was appreciated. He still has the puppy tendencies to nibble on your hand and tried to nibble on a dog bed. Therefore, he lost dog bed privileges. He did his best to play with a toy we gave him, and my boyfriend start teaching him the fetch concept.The car ride was very easy. He did great in the car, and didn’t get sick. He even laid down and chilled out a bit.'Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 12:06 am
