Story
Coty, a Husky/Akita mix (white with black spots and ears), is very friendly and lovable to all people, and he's a "talker" which makes him very endearing! He will entertain himself with his toys to allow the adults to talk. He loves everything to do with food - there isn't a snack or morsel of food (dog or human) that he has turned away, and he loves going for car rides. Weighing in at an impressive 85 lbs, he's very well-mannered with a great disposition, neutered, chipped, is voice trained and behaves well on walks and at the doggy day care. He especially likes small dogs and kids. Up to date with shots and vet health checks; I give him eye drops once a day to prevent glaucoma. He stays outdoors right now (because my husband is severely allergic) but is fully trained for indoors (including using a doggy door) and likes to be inside with the "hoomans." Current supplies and medical records provided.

Story
Meet Cashew, a sweet 2-year-old Akita mix who is now available for adoption at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter.Cashew recently has a rare condition called masticatory muscle myositis, which affects her jaw muscles. She can eat and drink comfortably, but has some difficulty picking up toys.Cashew knows how to sit and lay down, and she gets bursts of playful energy from time to time. She would benefit from continued training to help her build confidence and skills. We are still learning how she feels about other dogs.If you think Cashew might be the right match for your home, we invite you to come meet her.

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environnment.

Meet Isa, a gentle, loyal mama who has finished raising her puppies and is now patiently waiting for a forever home of her own After surviving a shelter birth and caring for her babies with quiet devotion, Isa is finally getting the chance to simply be a dog and shes proving to be one of the sweetest souls youll ever meet. At home, Isa is calm, affectionate, and happiest when shes close to her people. She loves curling up in her cozy bed, getting tucked in with a blanket, and carrying around her little stuffed animals. She also enjoys her walks, exploring the world with soft curiosity and a wagging tail. And if you really want to make her day? A frozen banana treat makes her close her eyes in pure delight. Isa is still building confidence when left alone, and shes been making steady progress with patient guidance and routine. She would thrive in a home where someone is around often or where she can have a gentle canine friend for company. A yard or open space would be a dream come true for her a place to stretch her legs, run freely, and enjoy the life she has always deserved. Shes still learning to trust the world. Going out in public and encountering new things can be scary for her, but her foster is working with her every day and shes slowly improving. With patience and reassurance, she blossoms. Isa has so much love to give. Shes tender, trusting, and ready to form a deep, lifelong bond with a family who sees the beauty in her soft spirit.
