Story
Looks like: Akita mix Female, 11 years old (estimated), 62 pounds Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart. This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeeky toys. Big and beautiful Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly.

These pups are in Santa Cruz, California too!

Story
HI - MY NAME IS MISTO, and I was recently rescued from a very scary California shelter, where I was terrified. I even growled at people, according to the shelter. I am starting to come around, but I will need a quiet home wit someone who can be patient while I learn to trust again. I apparently was surrendered by my previous owner, who had better things to do than take care of me. As we enter the holiday season, I hope someone will see me and want to adopt me. I am young (age soon to be determined) and am a beautiful boy, with stunning blue eyes. We will test with dogs in the coming days. Can you foster or adopt me?
