Story
Hello, I`m Kita, a spirited adult Akita mix with a heart full of love and energy to spare! If you`re looking for a loyal companion who thrives on activity and play, then I`m the girl for you.As an Akita mixed breed, I inherit some wonderful traits. I’m known for my intelligence, courage, and strong loyalty to my humans. I’m always up for a game, a good hike or a romp in the snow. I thrive on mental and physical challenges, so I need a family that can keep up with my active lifestyle.I’m looking for a dedicated owner who can provide me with the time, love, and devotion I need to flourish. If you`re ready to embrace an active lifestyle and enjoy the great outdoors, then let’s meet and see if we’re a match!Are you ready to make memories with me? Let’s embark on this journey together!Interested? First thing to do is fill out an adoption interest form at this link: https://upaws.org/animal-interest-form/??If a meeting is scheduled, we kindly request that you bring your entire family, including any dogs you may have. While she may be comfortable in the situation, her compatibility largely depends on your child or dog. Please note that she will not be placed with young children, as she thrives better in the company of older, calm kids who can respect her space. Although she may resemble a big teddy bear, it is important for children to understand that hugging or jumping on her is not acceptable. That truly goes for all dogs. Additionally, just like people, she has her preferences and may be selective about which dogs she interacts with, as she may not get along with every dog. Our goal is to ensure that this arrangement is a suitable fit for everyone involved.

Story
Meet Akira, she is a 1-1/2 year old spayed female Akita (around 90 lb) looking for a new home. She is a wonderful dog that gets along well with both male boxer dogs in my home. She has good manors and is a very quick learner. Walks very well with both of my other dogs, side by side. Excitable during play but does very well sharing toys with other dogs. No resource or food guarding of any kind. Have not seen her interact with children but would not suggest her in a home with small children under 12. Does well with grooming, nail trimming/brushing. She loves car rides and going places like parks or to the pet store. Unfortunately i'm going thru a divorce and will not be able to have three dogs in new living arrangement. Ideally she would do best in a home without children under 12 and spoiled on her own or with a dog(s) of same age and energy level. I do walk/run her 5-10 miles a day currently so she should be with an owner who is also very active and has previously owned an Akita.

Story
Meet Tormund! THRIVING IN FOSTER! LOVES PEOPLE, PUPS & THE SNOW!! This delightfully unique Akita/boxer boy is three years old and is 80 pounds of goofy goodness! He is enjoying some time away from the kennel with an amazing foster family! From the moment you meet him, Tormund will have you smiling ear to ear! He is having the best time hanging with his foster fur brother and would love another canine companion in his new home (though it's not a requirement). When he's not wrestling with his brother, you can find him with his favorite jolly ball in a game of fetch! Tormund is also a fan of squeaky toys and his foster parents are able to take toys/food away with no issue. Not only is Tormund one handsome dude, he's very smart and knows a few commands. With continued training, he won't disappoint! Tormund is a very affectionate fellow and is always seeking out all the love he can get. He is a fan of laying his head gently in your lap for some well-deserved pets. He's also house-trained and aims to make you proud! As you can see by his pictures, this dude lives to play outside! He takes every opportunity he can to romp in the snow (check out the video!) He's an absolute joy to hang with! If you're a lover of winter sports, you've found your furry companion! Tormund does have a prey drive so a large, fenced-in yard is essential to keep him safe while giving him a chance to explore. This also means a home free of cats or small animals is best for him. Tormund rides well in the car and is ready to accompany you on all of your adventures! He will need a capable handler to work with him on his leash skills, and he is already showing excellent improvement! He will thrive in a home where he can get lots of exercise. Working from home? Tormund is the best coworker! After his daily walk, he relaxes by lounging on the couch. At the end of a fun-filled day, he sleeps quietly on the floor in the bedroom. While he has been crated, he prefers to have his space in the house. Based on our evaluation, we feel Tormund will do well in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the potential to live with other animals as he has done well with his fur foster brother. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby. If you he could be the pup you've been searching for, please visit greatlakesdogrescue.com and submit an application for our terrific Tormund today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in any of our animals for adoption, or to foster an animal, please fill out the respective application here to get the process started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. &#226&#128&#139Meet Zuki! This sweet lady has had a rough few years! Zuki is a Japanese Akita, who was originally imported from Japan. Zuki unfortunately lived her first years of her life being housed in a closet. However, when you first meet her, you would have no idea that she’s had such a lonely past. Zuki loves giving you hugs and kisses but is just as happy sitting quietly at your feet. She’s a quiet girl with a tender and sweet disposition, and she loves all people and all ages. Zuki does show mild signs of reactivity to new dogs, but only when they get to close (she likes her personal space). This is due to never having seen another dog until she was an adult.  Zuki does currently live in a foster home with several other dogs and after a slow and proper introduction she lives happily among them. She would do best in a home without other dogs but with proper introduction and patience could do well. Behavior with cats is unknown but she reacts positively when seeing them at adoption events, so she might do well in a home with cats. Zuki is potty trained and up to date on vaccines. She’s scheduled to be spayed on January 24th.  Breed experience is preferred, but not required. For more information about Zuki please fill out an application at Last Day Dog Rescue! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by. January 24, 2025, 4:00 pm
