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

Kasper

Akita

Male, Adult

Ramona, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

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

Hi there! My name is Brittany! Though I am in foster care right now, I am looking for a new foster or a furever home to help me branch out away from my mom and siblings. (send an email to info@smallbreedrescue.org if you are interested in fostering me) I’m a happy-go-lucky, carefree, and cheerful companion who is tough on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside. What thrills me most in life is sharing my love with those around me, whether you’re big, small, old, or young. I’m an equal-opportunity companion! Affection is my middle name, and I can’t think of anything better than getting love and attention from my family. I’m outgoing and friendly, and you’ll often find me lying in your cozy lap, content and happy. My favorite toys are squeaky ones and those that help me with my teething. I love every treat I’ve tried and enjoy playing chase and getting cuddles. My foster family is helping me learn manners or what we call Petiquette and how to be calm. Sometimes I have trouble controlling my excitement and impulses, but I’m learning. I like to take my time approaching new situations. While I’m a bit shy with new faces and places, I warm up as I become more familiar with my environment. I know sit, stay, come, off, down, wait, and walk on a leash with a harness. I am crate-trained and, although I whine at first, I settle down pretty quickly. I’m learning to be potty trained and do well when I am reminded to go outside. I still need some help with my manners and would do well with some additional positive reinforcement training. Exercise keeps me happy and content. Without it, I can get a little worked up. I do best when I have had a chance to get my energy out so that I can be calm later. Going for walks, engaging in play, and doing outdoor activities with my new family daily would make me very happy! I was found living under a shed on a very large, secluded property with my siblings and mom and boy have I come a long way! If you think we may be a good match or would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/12526 Please note - Due to home introductions that are part of the adoption process, we can only accept applications for interested parties who are in or near North County San Diego County, California, at this time.

Story

Meet Snow Bella – A Gentle Soul Seeking her Forever Home Snow Bella is currently in foster care, looking for a forever home where she can begin to bond with her family. Though a bit shy and reserved, Snow Bella is a calm, gentle companion who bonds deeply with her people and loves spending time with her goat friends. If another animal ventures too close to them, she quickly springs into action to keep them safe! Bella has just begun meeting the other dogs in her foster family. With a gentle, watchful nature, she’s learning to feel comfortable around new friends and environments at her own pace. While she hasn't yet tried to play with the big dog she’s met, she’s curious and open to learning. Though cautious at first, she loves attention from people she trusts and absolutely adores belly and ear rubs! Recently, Snow Bella has discovered the joy of chew toys and enjoys zooming around. She’s not a fan of bland dog treats but lights up for meaty ones. She’s always gentle and calm, and even when scared, has never shown any signs of aggression. Snow Bella is crate-shy and prefers spending her time outdoors, where she can roam and watch over her surroundings. She’s happiest in a space with plenty of room to explore, especially since she was found with her puppies under a shed on a large, quiet property. However, she is also a wonderful housemate, with perfect manners and no accidents indoors. Snow Bella’s foster family is helping her learn basic commands like "stay" and "come," and she’s adapting well to walking on a leash. She stays close, content to follow her person as they lead. Exercise is essential to her well-being, so an active, spacious home where she can thrive is her dream.
