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
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: Male Breed: Husky xEstimated Date of Birth : 10/16/2022Handsome and fun Hansel hopes if you’re looking that he’ll be the one! He’s active and sweet and loves everyone he meets. He’s got striking good looks to go with his enthusiastic personality add his golden eyes are sure to charm you. He’d love nothing more than a family willing to commit to him for a lifetime. Sadly Hansel and his sister Gretel came to us as unwanted dogs. Both tied unceremoniously to the sign at our rescue ranch’s entrance after hours. They were lucky they didn’t break free, get hit by a car or get eaten by wildlife. We can’t imagine how scared they must have been or how betrayed they must have felt being dumped in such a heartless fashion. We’ve committed ourselves to ensuring both Hansel and his sister never experience something like that again. Hansel is definitely the more outgoing of the two and is working on his leash manners. Neither were exposed to much before their time in our care but we’re making up for lost time and socializing them with the sights and sounds of life. They’re young and lapping it all up. Our ranches wide open spaces allow for lots of socialization and playtime opportunities and Hansel loves all the play and running around with his sister. He and his sister are adoption ready and we can’t wait to find them the perfect homes. They aren’t bonded but do enjoy each others company so homes together or separately would work equally well. If you’ve been looking we hope one of these sweet pups is the perfect fit for you!

Sex: FemaleBreed: Husky xEstimated Date of Birth : 10/16/2022Are you looking for cute, bubbly and fun? Then sweet Gretel is definitely the one! She’s an adorable ball of enthusiasm and loves playtime just as much as she loves every once of affection people bring. She wears a permanent smile on her face and would love nothing more than a family willing to commit to her for a lifetime. We want to make that happen so this sweet girl is headed into Pawsitive Change at Tehachapi State Prison! Sadly Gretel and her brother Hansel came to us as unwanted dogs. Both tied unceremoniously to  the sign at our rescue ranch’s entrance after hours. They were lucky they didn’t break free, get hit by a car or get eaten by wildlife. We can’t imagine how scared they must have been or how betrayed they must have felt being dumped in such a heartless fashion.

Our ranches wide open spaces allow for lots of socialization and playtime opportunities and Gretel loves all the play and running around. Pawsitive Change will give her another opportunity to learn and grow. She’ll spend the next 3 months learning all she can and once she’s completed the program she’ll be adoption ready. We can’t wait to find her the perfect home! If you are interested in adopting a Marley's Mutts please fill out an application at http://marleysmutts.org/adoptionprocess/
