Story
This magnificent Akita was an abandoned stray in our neighborhood who we have taken in, nurtured, and helped recover back to full health. He is a wonderful, sweet and loving dog with a great personality - eager to please and very trainable. Gets along quite well with the smaller dog we already had. Calm and intelligent. Still quite young (around 18 months) with some puppy traits. He just happens to be quite a large animal (100+ pounds). For some, this will be exactly what they are looking for. He needs the right family and situation to be able to stretch his legs and get the attention and activity he deserves. He has won our hearts - but with an imminent downsizing coming for us, we simply cannot keep him long term. All shots up to date, with recent vet exams, and will pay for neutering if new owner would prefer that. Thank you for looking, and we hope to find an amazing new home for this great dog! He really deserves it.

Story
Dorian is looking for his forever home!! Dorian was pulled from the shelter after spending 680 long days - nearly 2 years in LAs shelter system. Despite spending 2 years in an outdoor concrete kennel, with minimal human interaction, he held on to hope and has been the most resilient boy. Most dogs don’t last that long in high kill shelters, but Dorian was a staff favorite. He did well with volunteers who brought him out for play groups and they advocated for him to keep him alive. But still somehow no one wanted to adopt him. We saw a post about him and immediately knew we had to get this boy of that environment and into a foster home. Since then we have all fallen in love! We now understand why he was a staff favorite. He's the silliest Akita Inu mix, and he's as loyal and loving as they come. He is extremely handsome and the sweetest, most easy going guy. Dorian is crate trained, potty trained, and knows several commands. He can be nervous around strangers, but once he knows you, he loves you for life! Dorian is dog friendly, and he is an absolute goofball when he plays. Dorian loves to go for walks (cue the happy hops) and crash for a nap next to his person. He would be fantastic with a person with Akita experience or someone who understands/has researched the breed. Dorian is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and currently on flea tick and heartworm medication. Overall. he's in good health, and we believe he is around 6-7 years old and weighs 80 lbs. We recently did his DNA test with Embark, and he is an Akita Inu, American Akita, Pittie mix. If you’d like to see videos of Dorian you can visit the instagram page @fenwayfluff and see the story highlight called “Dorian”. He is currently being fostered in San DiegO

Story
The Good: Kasper was a rescue dog that I adopted over a year ago. His release papers state that he is approximately 9 years old (their guess). However, his dog trainer (Taylor Made Working Dogs) stated approximately 3 but I've had him for nearly 2 years after training so maybe he's 5 years old now. Kasper is absolutely stunning to look at and in great health. He has done a 6-week board and train program, and is house-trained, will walk at your heel, come to you when called and sits on command. His demeanor is calm and quiet. He doesn't wander around or approach others. The Bad: Kasper is also a resource guarder. Pretty much anything that he deems valuable (including people) may cause him to bite or snap in defense. Sadly, because I have tenants who rent rooms in my house, I'm not able to provide the ideal environment for him to thrive. Additionally, while he may be able to enteract with large well-behaved dogs, he doesn't do well with small dogs.

Story
How this pet arrived: Chappell was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on August 4th, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Chappell, a fun-loving girl with a big personality! Chappell is all about her people and absolutely adores pets, treats and chasing after tennis balls. She's a smart girl who knows how to "sit" and "lay down", walks well on leash and is food motivated. Her missing eye doesn't slow her down - and we think it makes her even more endearing! This cutie is happiest when she's the center of your attention, so she's looking for a home where she can be the only pet - no other furry friends, please! Chappell prefers to keep her adventures one-on-one with her favorite humans, so she isn't a candidate for off-leash venues or dog parks. Whether it's playing fetch or snuggling up for some quality time, Chappell is ready to be your loyal and loving companion! If you're looking for a new best friend who's sure to brighten your days, come by our Oceanside Campus and meet Chappell today!

Story
How this pet arrived: Roan was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on August 4, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:How can you resist those eyes? Meet Roan, an adorable young adult Husky with a zest for adventure! He enjoys long walks, is well behaved on leash and loves exploring, making him a great companion for outdoor activities. He also knows some basic commands, and would likely enjoy learning new ones - especially if yummy treats are involved! Roan is eager for adventure, so we wouldn't recommend any unsupervised time outside, even in a fenced yard. He loves attention and gravitates towards people, eager for pets and cuddles. He arrived with another dog but can be a bit selective about new canine friends, so please bring any resident dogs for a supervised meet-and-greet before adopting. If you're looking for an energetic pup to brighten your life, come by our Oceanside Campus and meet Roan today! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 61.8 Age: 1yrs 10mths 2wks
