Story
Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?!

Meet TOBI We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is very bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life. Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again. He is best as an only dog and someone with previous Akita experience is best. Tobi is approximately 5 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's only been with us a short time, so will need to gain a few pounds to look his best, but he's already on his way to showing us his beautiful soul.

Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Story
             Got a Minute for Me? Pretty Please? You know what it’s like to wait over THOUSAND days to go home? Ask me—I do. Sigh. I was found as a stray three years ago on the side of a freeway, and no one has come to find me, foster me, or adopt me. So here I am, three years later, still waiting… Henlo! I’m Brûlée, your awww-dorable and floofy cutie patootie! I’m an active, young, medium-sized Siberian Husky girl, weighing about 66 lbs. I was named Brûlée for my gorgeous coloring, extra sweet personality and super-soft coat. I’m quite the social butterfly and bond very quickly with hoomans. When we meet, all you have to do is open your arms and I’ll come running to you like your long-lost love. Expect enthusiastic and joyful “Hello” jumps, drooly kisses, happy tail wags and cozy cuddles. I’ll even lean on you and give you my best puppy eyes to score some head scritches and treats. I’m all about meeting and playing with other doggos, but I’d prefer a slow, on-leash intro first so I can take my time getting to know them. If you already have a fur-baby at home, please bring them along to see if I can make a paw-some sister. I love embarking on sniffaris and leaving and reading pee-mails for my fellow doggos. But nothing quite compares to the exhilaration of going for hikes in the great outdoors. Well, this girl’s ready for a workout whenever you are! I can get a little excited while out on walkies and will pull on the leash, so a little exercise before we head out would be super helpful. I’d love your help learning to walk politely by your side— and I paw-mise that I’ll be a good girl and do my best! I’m one very smart cookie too! I already know how to “Sit,” “Stay”, go “Down,” and “Shake” your hand. I’m also potty-trained and crate-trained. I’m a total foodie, so those tasty treats will be perfect for practicing what I know—and for learning new tricks when you think I’m ready! I take treats very gently from your hand, so that’s a big plus! When I see a squirrel, my inner Nancy Drew kicks into gear, and I’m ready to lead the search paw-ty. Well, can’t let that PhD. In squirrel spotting go to waste, can we? So, if you have little kiddos or small pets at home, I may not be a good fit for you. I’d be absolutely thrilled to join a family or person with an active lifestyle. And after a long day of action, I’m more than ready to curl up with you to Netflix-and-chill! Come meet me and give me a chance, please? I don’t want to wait another THOUSAND days! Click here to watch a video of Brulee.      February 4, 2025, 10:59 am

    Jubilee has been living in a foster home and she's really living up to her name!  She is about 12 months old and full of FUN!  This sweetheart of a puppy only weighs 40 lbs. and we don't think she'll get much bigger.   She loves all the dogs and people she meets - and they love her back! She especially loves, loves to play with her 8 month old and 2 yr old foster sisters, for hours! She is also respectful to older dogs.  She's a smart girl that knows basic commands, is potty trained, plus she’s eager to please.  She loves to cuddle when she's sleeping or relaxing, either with humans or other dogs. She's well behaved in public and in restaurants - but is very interested in meeting other dogs too.  She needs some leash training and we're working on that. She's still very full of young puppy energy! Jubilee is 57% Siberian Husky, 23% Australian cattle dog, 9% Alaskan malamute, 3% Samoyed and 3% Chow Chow! All this in a petite and fun sized little girl t hat wants to be your BFF! Click here to watch a video of Jubilee.      March 10, 2025, 12:00 pm
