Story

Meet Ninja – Your Loyal, Gentle, and Unique American Akita Companion Ninja is a gorgeous five-year-old American Akita who’s seeking her forever family. She’s been in our care due to my daughter’s health situation, and now we’re looking to find her a stable, loving home. Here’s why Ninja would make a fantastic addition to the right family: Loyal and Quiet: Ninja’s loyalty knows no bounds. She doesn’t bark or whine and has a calm, respectful presence. However, if you talk to her, she’ll “talk” back in her own way—she has a personality you’ll love getting to know! Perfectly Well-Mannered: Ninja is wonderful with kids and friendly with other dogs her size once introduced. She’s protective without being aggressive, adding a layer of warmth and security to her family. Loves the Simple Joys: While she enjoys being active, Ninja is happiest on a nice walk where she can take in the sights and smells. She especially loves sniffing flowers and enjoying nature. Treat Enthusiast: Give her a treat

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Blocky headed cutie pie! Meet Rufus! A fun loving boy looking forward to settling down after the numerous transitions in his life recently. Rufus enjoys playing with toys, going on long walks and hikes, and opportunities for casual recreation with other dogs! Once settled down and comfortable in his routine, Rufus is likely to be a couch potato -- after a long day of fun, he can't wait to pile on the couch for movie nights with his new family!Our walkers tell us that when they enter his kennel to leash him up, he will greet them energetically and enthusiastically. Once outside, he may alternate between pulling hard because the smells are just so darn enticing and then relaxing and walking calmly. When they take him into one of the play yards, they better have a good supply of tennis balls because he LOVES a good game of fetch and when the weather is warm, a nice dip (well actually a lot of splashing) in one of the play pools.Rufus will only be rehomed to a family with children 10 years of age and older and is recommended for a home without other dogs at this time. Meet with him today! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 73.2 Age: 2yrs 2mths 1wks
