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.

Story
We are rehoming him bc we are now expecting & do not want to take the risk as he has shown aggression towards babies. We have had him for 3 years and he does fine with older children. We are not willing to adopt him to a family with children under the age of 10. Born March 2021. Around 50lbs. Up to date on all vaccines. On monthly heartworm & flea/tick prevention. Require a grain-free diet. He loves being outside! He enjoys the water and hiking trails. He is a super playful and a very good dog. He would not do well in a home with any small pets. He has been the only pet weve had, so he is used to being the only dog. Is house trained. Knows basic commands- sit, down, come, shake, stay, off. Crated when we have company, but not at night or when we leave. He does not like being groomed. We will give everything we have for him to his new home. Crate, bed, bowls, leashes, long line, harness, toys, treats. Willing to travel central and north illinois to get him to the right home.
