Story

Meet Akira- a charming lady who is ready to be your loyal companion through it all! Volunteers say Akira is polite and easy to walk. She also participates in playgroup where she`s frequently the `responsible adult`- welcoming everyone in but not getting involved in any wild parties in the yard. She has too much class for all that (also she doesn`t think running all the way to the other end of the yard just to run right back is a great use of her energy). This grande dame is ready to swan her way into your home like it`s the London Season and she`s the start of her own Bridgerton series. She`s got class, grace, and no time for nonsense (unless it`s her nonsense and comes with some snacks).

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ready to bring the noise? Meet THUNDA! Thunda is a loving, goofy, high-energy sweetheart who’s equal parts storm and sunshine! This athletic, playful guy has a heart as big as his zoomies and a personality that lights up every room. He’s housetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, and knows plenty of commands like sit, down, bang, up, wait, and come here—proof that he’s as smart as he is fun! Thunda loves toys (especially soft ones he can tear apart), long walks, and tug-of-war sessions. He walks well on a harness, though he can get a little overexcited when he spots another dog or animal—he just wants to say hi and play! He’s done great being left alone in his crate for a few hours and settles calmly when you’re away. Thunda also rides nicely in the car once he’s cozy in his covered crate with some treats. This social butterfly doesn’t have a mean bone in his body—he’s all love, kisses, and tail wags. He’d thrive with an active family or a doggy friend who can keep up with his joyful energy. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate companion who brings excitement wherever he goes, come meet Thunda—just be prepared for a little thunder and a whole lot of love!
