Story
Can anyone foster or adopt this handsome boy?! Meet Shadea charming 2-year-old dog who is currently looking for a loving foster home or a forever family. This handsome boy was sadly abandoned at the shelter by his previous owner, who never returned for him, leading to a heartbreaking situation where he was at risk of euthanasia. Fortunately, Shade's gentle nature and loyalty to humans shine through, making him a wonderful companion. He thrives in the company of older children, as his size may be overwhelming for younger ones. Shade is well-mannered on a leash and is already house trained, making him an easy addition to any household. He enjoys outdoor adventures and long walks, showcasing his playful spirit. While Shade is generally friendly with other dogs, he can be selective about his companions and is notably protective of his toys. He takes treats with care, demonstrating his sweet demeanor. Shade is eager to find a family where he can offer his loyalty and protection. If you're interested in giving this sweet boy a chance, please contact Happy Tails to learn more about welcoming Shade into your home. Happy Tails 815-626-2994 or message us on Facebook!!

Story
Hachi! This year and a half old boy is just about as regal as Akita's come.. some moments, then others? Well, let's just say he's no stranger to the Akita bunny hops, leaps, and bounds, it is seriously adorable watching this big old 92 pound boy get down for some fun! But those fun times come with lottttsss of rest afterwards, he's essentially just one huge puppy; without mentioning his soft, plush coat. While Hachi is typically more aloof with general strangers, treats help entice him to create the initial bond, and from there; he's as loyal as can be. His name has got to be about Hachiko the loyal dog, because he's the type to follow his people around like a shadow - which is unlike most, independent Akitas. Moreover, Hachi gets along well with other dogs, and while cats & other small critters are out of the picture for this guy, we figure that won't be much of an issue when it comes to this guy finding the love! Hachi's favorite time of the day is either going for walks, playtime, or snuggling up on our meet & greet futon. He's a boy of all trades, this one, and we love him for it! We are currently working on the basic commands with him, and he's learning quick, of course, when the treats are up to par with the commands! We think Hachi will do phenomenally in most well-verse Akita homes, whether you've got the experience, or you've done your research on the breed, he will be a great dog for you.
