Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Story
Sex: MaleBreed: Akita xEstimated Date of Birth : 05/29/2022We’ve had some lovers of life in our rescue years and Ajax is definitely one of them! He’s big, beautiful and has the kind of enthusiasm most of us could only dream of. He’s here for everything life can throw his way and he welcomes it all with open arms. He’s a giant puppy that just wants to have fun and litterally everything is fun. People, dogs, toys he loves it all and we can guarantee he’s going to love you too the moment he meets you! Ajax found himself at our County shelter and was never claimed by his family. If we could guess he started out as an absolutely adorable puppy and got big quick. Although he was a happy guy his size and lack of training with his former family made him hard to handle so they just chose to abandon him. What’s sad about that is just a little training could have turned his energy into something positive. He’s such a friendly dude he only needed some guidance. So that’s exactly what he’ll be getting with us.Ajax landed a foster home with a trainer. Pretty lucky right! This guy is now getting the foundation in manners and basic obedience he needed from the start. His foster is working to slow him down esp around other dogs (he gets so excited cause they’re so fun). She’s also working on crate and leash training. His future home should have large breed experience and some knowledge of training so Ajax can continue gaining the rules and boundaries he’ll need to be his most successful self. Continued structure and routine is going to make this boy the amazing dog we know he can be!

Story
Meet Artic! We should have named her Perfect! This 1.5yr old husky girl is a dream dog. Besides her classic beautiful looks and gorgeous blue eyes, she is the sweetest to every person, child, dog and is even good with her fosters parrot. For a young girl, she's very calm, chill and kind and loves to sit by your side and just appreciate her happy life. She was once abandoned on the streets, pregnant and had her puppies and all of them ended up at a high kill shelter. Alljoy4paws rescued her and her pups right before being euthanized. This amazing girl will light up your life and be your best friend. She's potty trained, loves toys and treats and has a gentle play style and a very submissive personality. She's been spayed, vaccinated and chipped and she's waiting for you! Email us your application ASAP! Currently being fostered in Bakersfield area.
