Story
Arizona is a 4.5 year old Akita Mix that was transferred to rescue from a local shelter with her newborn puppies. After raising her puppies, who have all been adopted, Arizona has settled into a happy life and routine with her foster and is a friendly, healthy adult dog. She's been with us for more than seven months, which is surprising given that she is housebroken and gets along with people, other dogs, and even cats. We believe that prior to rescue, Arizona spent a lot of time outside and can sometimes be more comfortable lounging in the backyard than in the house. She's also become very attached to her foster dad (as Akitas tend to do) and will require an adoptive household that understands there will be a transition period before she is comfortable with her new family, surroundings, and routine. Arizona can present with separation anxiety, which includes pacing and verbalizing her displeasure, however with time and consistency, these behaviors have been eliminated in her foster home. We'd love to see Arizona thrive in a home that knows the breed and is truly committed to the time and energy required to help a rescue dog settle into a new and better life. Whether you work from home, are active and like to take your canine pals along, or own property where she can explore, we'd encourage you to consider making Arizona a member of your family. Arizona is spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, microchipped with registration, wormed, and has had entropion correction surgery on her left eye. Her adoption fee is $350.

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
Say hello to Cumin, a sweet husky mix with a courageous heart and calm demeanor. At three years young, this former sled dog has embraced a life of adventure but is ready to find a comfy forever home with a new human best friend. Though living indoors is a little confusing to him, Cumin is showing a lot of courage and willingness to learn the ropes of cozy living among loving humans. This gentle giant is incredibly kind and sweet with all humans and dogs. He loves an outdoor adventure but is always down to just chill and hang out, too. Navigating his new world with a thoughtful pace, Cumin seeks a patient and loving human to show him the joys of pet life. A spacious, fenced yard would be a dream come true for this guy. Cumin's genial nature makes him a friend to all humans and canine companions alike, though he holds a special fondness for fellow large dogs, finding small ones perplexing for now. Trust may not come immediately for Cumin, but once earned, he’ll be your loyal lifelong companion. His sled-pulling days have left him with incredible strength, so Cumin is searching for an athletic companion who’s dedicated to keeping him under control while he learns leash manners. Cumin’s favorite treat is a slice of cheese, which will help fast-track your way into his heart and encourage his loving personality to really blossom! For the right home, Cumin will be more than just a pet; he’ll be a lifelong companion. If you're a patient soul looking for a gentle, attentive partner, Cumin promises to be your furever friend through every season of life. ##1974536##
