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
Akira is a big fur-baby that has been with me since she was a pup!! She is 5 years old (born July 25, 2019) and has been in Colorado her whole life. Unfortunately, life changes require me to downsize and relocate, to which I’d prefer giving Akira the life of attention she deserves. She is a homebody that absolutely LOVES the snow and a spacious yard. She’s been introduced and lived with dogs of all sizes and both male and female and has always done amazingly. She isn’t the most comfortable outside of her home where there’s a high concentration of dogs( dog parks, daycare. Etc.) she’s extremely playful and does well with older children! She has no special diet and is currently on Diamond Naturals dry food. She is a chunker, so those who are active is a plus so she can get daily exercise. Her love is priceless and therefore I am not assessing a rehoming fee. Akira is an amazing companion, and we look forward to meeting you!

Hi my name is River! I am about 6 months old, and believed to be a husky shepherd mix. I'm a really sweet guy. I enjoy snuggling with my people, and playing with my doggie friends. Im a little bit shy, so may do better in a home with another social playful dog, but may do ok as a single as well in the right situation. I am doing great with my potty training and leash walking, and am learning really fast!  I am looking for a loving home that will continue my training and socialization, cant wait to meet you! If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $350 and I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations for my age ##2288570##

Story
Whats up guys, Jeff here!  I.Could.Not.Be.More.Excited.to.be.in.COLORADO!! I was made for this state! I love the outdoors, love playing in the snow, running around, going for walks, and most of all meeting all the people! When I went to the pet store for a bath, I immediately applied for a job to work behind the counter so I could meet every single person who walked in. I could successfully live with female dogs my size or bigger - no small dogs or cats please, they're just too fun to chase! But the people are really where its at!   I would do best in a home where I'm not alone for too many hours. Want to take me to work with you? Great lets do it! If you are looking for an active pup that loves to socialize, Im your guy! If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $300 and I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations for my age ##2288593##
