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
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
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.

Story
Found her on the side of the road thirsty and hungry. She was shivering and extremely skinny. She was friendly and came right up to me. Opened the trunk and she hopped right in. Seemed to have previous owner. Roughly 3 yrs old. Updated all her shots and she tested negative on all tests, which I can provide. She is not spayed. Training: Well behaved. Her potty training is good but less than great. She knows lay, wait, stay, come, and leave it, but she’s not a pro yet. Needs work on the leash and on jumping. She’s still pretty stubborn. She’s not exactly territorial but she is more on guard when another dog is in her space. She’s done good with other dogs territories. Needs to know it’s okay to be alone. She’ll test you a bit. Needs: A high energy pup and needs 2 walks a day and some play/ training sessions. Doesn’t like to be in a room that you aren’t in. So she may have some separation anxiety. Loves cuddles. Pretty vocal. I want a home that can give her attention + love.
