Story
Skipjack is a delightful and stunning 2-year-old Akita mix currently in a foster home. Skipjack loves adventure and he would thrive with an active person or family. In his home there aren't children, but they do visit! He does well with an 8 and 13 year old but may be a little too bouncy for small children. Initially shy, Skipjack reveals his goofy and affectionate nature once he warms up. He loves belly rubs and can’t get enough of the water, often splashing around in the dog pool. He does have a bit of a prey drive and might get distracted by rabbits or squirrels on walks, but he generally walks well on a leash. He would also prefer a home without cats. Skipjack is a sweetheart, responding well to direction and training, but he will need a committed owner to continue his training. He hasn’t had any accidents in his designated space and he is crate trained. He is generally well behaved, he is working on his excitement when meeting new people! Skipjack is a lovable, high-energy dog who would be a great companion for an active individual or family willing to continue his training and provide him with the attention he needs. You must be over 21 and a home owner to adopt me. Please visit www.pittiesandpurrs.org to fill out an application. For further information contact adoptpitties@gmail.com

Story
We got Frankie as a rescue 7 years ago when she was 5 months old. We have 3 young children who have all grown up with her and she is super sweet with them and all their friends that come over to play. Everyone that comes into our home loves her and says she's the sweetest. When people come into the house, she's excited to meet them, but usually settles down quickly and she's typically pretty mellow and calm in the house. She loves sitting on the couch looking out the front window, laying in the back yard basking in the sun, taking walks in the neighborhood, and chasing balls and other toys outside. She's always a fan of belly rubs. We love her dearly, but she is not good with other dogs. She has had a few incidents with other dogs in the neighborhood when our young kids left the front door open and she ran out. We think she would do better in a home with no other pets and either an area without dogs walking by or the chance of her getting out.

Story
Koda is a fun loving Akita. He enjoys cuddles, treats, and running at the dog park. He is a big goofball ball. He knows some basic commands, is house-trained, kennel-trained, and is a quick learner, although he does get excited for his treats. He can be a talker. Lol He is a bit timid when meeting new people but warms up to you quickly. He hasn't been around a lot of other dogs. Sadly, I have to rehome him due to loss of income and moving out of state. Just want him to go to a good home that can give him lots of cuddles, affection, and become his best friend!

Story
Is it really a bitter sweet moment as we do not wish to rehome Ash… But we are relocating, and cannot take her with us, unfortunately. We are looking for good people who can give Ash the time and attention she needs. She is very happy and energetic, she likes to play with her toys, and she loves to play with my five year old… she loves treats, and she knows the “sit”, and “roll over” command. She is also trained to pee and poop on the doggie pad when when is in the house. With this adoption, you will get a Dog house, a outside dog cage, and a in house dog cage. We can’t wait for Ash to become apart of your family 💜

Story
Please allow us to introduce this handsome, gentle dog. This is Lance, a 2yr old, neutered male, Akita who weighs around 100lbs. Lance is looking for a strong, confident person who has time for some bonding. Please read his full description below to see if your home is a good match for him. He is temporarily in a foster home.Lance needs a fenced yard that is attached to your house to keep him safe at home. The fence needs to be 6 foot or higher and needs to be strong and secure. Lance is a thinker and will see if he can get through doors and gates. Lance's best times here have been around other dogs. He is so good with our small and large dogs and he really enjoys interacting with them. We have seen Lance bond with one of our Animal Handlers here and it is wonderful to see. He is happy, wags his tails, plays and runs with her, comes when she calls him, licks her to say hello and really finds his confidence when she is around. It took some time for him to learn to trust her. Because of Lance's history, we are requiring his home have another dog that gets along with Lance. You can bring your dog to the shelter during our Animal Viewing Hours below.He has a gentle, low key personality. He is trying to figure out how to trust people and acts like he has not been with a person long enough where he could learn to bond until he came here. He is powerful and needs someone who can hold onto him if he is in a new situation. If he is nervous, he will put on the breaks and lay down or he will pull you to go faster. Lance is intelligent and food motivated. He would do well with someone who is calm, patient and gives him time to just hang out and get used to you.This beautiful dog has great potential with the right person who will spend time bonding with him.   ****Lance is in a Foster home to give him time out of the shelter. In order to visit him, please call our Adoption Coordinator to discuss setting up a visit. 410-313-2780 Option 0.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 26, 2024, 2:02 pm
