Story
Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?!

Story
Meet TOBI We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is very bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life. Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again. He is best as an only dog and someone with previous Akita experience is best. Tobi is approximately 5 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's only been with us a short time, so will need to gain a few pounds to look his best, but he's already on his way to showing us his beautiful soul.

Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Story
Blitz was born on May 18, and I had the joy of picking him up from a friend when he was just 8 weeks old at the beginning of summer. From that moment on, he filled my life with love and joy. During my time back home from college in Washington, I took great care of him, cherishing every moment we spent together. When it was time for me to return to school, I found it incredibly difficult to leave him behind. I missed him so much that I decided to bring him up to Washington with me, and I even got him assigned as my Emotional Support Animal so he could stay by my side on campus. Weve had wonderful adventures together, but now, after many back-and-forth trips during breaks, Ive come to realize that Im not in the best position to provide him with the care and stability he truly deserves. Blitz is a loyal and affectionate companion, and I want nothing more than to find him a loving home. If you’re looking for a furry friend to bring joy please consider adopting Blitz.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Caesar, a 1-year-old, 53-pound pup ready to bring his playful, loving nature into your home! Caesar has all the energy and smarts of a working breed pup, with a gentle disposition that makes him an affectionate and loyal companion. He's attentive, eager to learn, and always up for fun! On a recent field trip, Caesar proved to be a dream in the car, settling in calmly after a quick whine. On leash, he had a little puppy excitement, but quickly checked in with his handler and responded well to redirection. He was curious about people and other dogs but remained easy to manage and wasn’t reactive. Caesar also seems to know "sit" and is ready to learn more—we’re confident that with some tasty treats, he’ll be a quick study! Caesar would thrive in a home with patient adopters who can continue his training, helping him refine his manners and curb his excitement. He’s gentle when playing with other dogs at the shelter, and could do well with a compatible canine sibling, or as an only dog, with plenty of playdates. If you're ready for a smart, sweet pup with lots of potential, Caesar is waiting to meet you!January 27, 2025, 5:42 pm
