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
Going through a divorce and trying to care for Nyko and my baby is a struggle all by myself. Nyko is a very loving and loyal pet. He is very friendly and gets a ton of attention from everyone when we go out. He loves his walks and lives for snowy days! He is a great indoor pet and just relaxes all day. Even with his size, he does well in small homes and apartments. Outside he loves to play in the snow, play fetch, and play with any type of ball. He can not be off-leash unless enclosed in a backyard. He does not get along with other animals and will be aggressive. He’s friendly with people and will do best with a small family. Too many children or people in the family will make him anxious. His ideal owner is a single owner or couple who can physically take him on at least 2 walks per day.

Story
Loki is a purebred Akita, almost 3 years old come March. We got him as a puppy. Loki is good with cats and children. We are uncertain how he is around other dogs than the one other we have in our home. Loki attended Art of the Dog's 3 week board and train program. He uses an e-collar to help maintain and correct his behaviors. So Loki's adopter would need to be okay with that. He is neutered and has no health problems. Loki is a dominant dog (alpha) and would do best in a home where the family understands his needs and breed. We love Loki but we need to rehome him because we are moving due to a job and the housing community we will be moving into does not allow Akitas. He is unsure of meeting new people at first but warms up eventually. Would do best in a home with a fenced in yard.

Wiley is an 8 year old neutered male malamute. He lived with an elderly couple, but his mom passed away and his dad had to move to an assisted living.

Housebroken and getting used to being left alone with free reign of the house. Full of energy! Needs a secure, fenced yard. Due to his size, not recommended with small children.

Meet Denali! This sweet, fun-loving Husky is always ready for an adventure. Playful and full of energy, he loves to run, explore, and have a good time with his favorite people. Denali has a big personality and a lot of love to give, but he prefers not to share his food, so a home with older kids who can respect his space would be best. If you`re looking for an active, spirited companion who will keep you on your toes and make every day more exciting, Denali is the perfect match for you!What I Need In a Home:* Older children recommended

Meet Kyoto, a beautiful, lively girl with energy to spare and a zest for life! This active and playful pup is always ready for adventure, whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or just zooming around the yard. Because of her energetic nature, she’d do best in a home with kids 10 and up who can join in on the fun while respecting her lively enthusiasm. Kyoto is very pushy and intense with other dogs, and does not seem to like rude behavior back, and may prefer to be the only dog in the home. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, playful companion to brighten your days, Kyoto is ready to meet you!What I Need In a Home:* Kids 10+ mandatory* May prefer to be the only dog
