Story
Sasha has a wealth of training in her hip pocket; and as a result, we know a thing or two about this girl and what might be her best placement. Despite lots of work, Sasha is not leaving her difficult background behind. The original household acquired Sasha from a breeder in Mississippi. Originally intending to get one puppy, the family was talked into taking not only Sasha but also the remaining male sibling. They had no idea what they were getting in to, and by the time Illinois Humane was brought into the picture the household had a near disaster on their hands. Proper training was not undertaken, and it is suspected many improper methods were used with the dogs. Sasha can be a very loyal, good companion. She has some considerations for her to be successful in a home. She needs a home where she will be the only dog. It is best if the household consists of only one or two people. It would be best if it is a household without a lot of other people coming in and out, or a means to put Miss Sasha up, so to speak, when others will be visiting. No kids. No small animals. We advise a series of meetings for the meet and greet, so the potential home can meet her over time, and visit with her trainer. She will make a great dog for someone who understands the breed, and can accommodate her limitations.

Story
Suki is a young Akita with a heart full of love and a personality that shines. At just about a year old and weighing 62 pounds, she has already been a devoted mother to her puppies, who are now 6 months old. Despite her young age, Suki has an incredibly gentle and affectionate nature, making her a wonderful companion. You won’t meet a happier girl—Suki is always ready to greet you with a wagging tail and a heart full of affection. She’s friendly with people, reportedly dog-friendly, and listens beautifully. She keeps a clean kennel, isn’t destructive, and enjoys spending time outdoors, making her a perfect mix of playful and relaxed. Suki is food-motivated and adores treats, which makes training a breeze. In fact, she already knows how to stand on command! While she hasn’t been around children in our care, we expect she’d do well with them given her gentle and loving nature. Whether she’s soaking up attention, enjoying a snack, or simply lounging around, Suki’s calm and affectionate personality makes her a dream dog. She’s looking for a forever home where she can be cherished as much as she loves those around her. Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
