Story
Hi, my name is Rhett. I was happily living with my doggy dad and he has fallen ill and is now in a nursing home. I’m happy and lovable. I haven’t met a stranger I did not like. I love chewy rubber bones. I still need to learn no jumps as I’m very excited to see people. My breed is typically fitted for homes with no other animals. Although since my dad talked to me, we don’t know how I would be with them please help me find my new forever home

Story
We adopted Zoe when she was 8 weeks old (birthdate: 5//20/2020) and it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to find her a new home, as one of our other dogs is no longer getting along with her. She is very lovable and a great protector of her pack, as most Akitas are. She's been trained professionally and responds very well to commands: sit, stay, come, down, place, etc. We bred her in July 2022 and she's had one of her puppies with us ever since, so we'd love to rehome them together if at all possible. His name is BJ, male, not neutered, but we will fix him if necessary. BJ (birthdate: 7/6/2022) is also very lovable, and loves being in his kennel. We leave the kennel door open, and he goes in and hangs out in there all the time! Adoption fee is for both dogs; will consider a lesser fee if only one is adopted. Would very much prefer to keep them together, as they have been for the past 2.5 years. Would prefer to rehome them to owners who are well informed about the breed.

Story
Hunter is a large, strong Akita who thrives in the hands of an experienced owner capable of understanding his unique needs. This breed requires an active lifestyle, so Hunter will need plenty of exercise, including daily walks to keep him physically and mentally stimulated. He is loyal and protective, forming deep bonds with his owner and often seeking their company. Due to his independent nature, an owner must be patient and consistent with training to ensure he behaves well in different situations. Hunter’s ideal home is one where his needs are met, and his owner is willing to adjust their routine to accommodate this devoted dog.

Story
Sheva (whose real name is Sheba) is a beautiful female Akita mix (approximately 4-years old) who was surrendered by her owner to the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on November 19, 2024 because she was physically unable to take care of her beloved pet. Sheva has a dense/thick white coat with subtle tan shading, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with large blue eyes, a liver-colored nose, and small erect ears. Sheva's left ear is withered (most likely due to an old ear infection or a hematoma). These photos were taken on November 22, 2024 when HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren accompanied Sheva for outdoor pictures. The weather was bitter cold that day with brisk winds, but Sheva didn't seem to notice since her heavy/dense coat kept her warm .. And she was oblivious of the fact that Emma and our photographer were shivering while waiting for her to pose pretty for the camera (smile). Sheva is a fairly small girl who weighs 40 lbs. This little sweetheart has spent time in foster homes, and we’ve learned that Sheva is good with other dogs as well as older children. She has been well-behaved and is housetrained. Sheva LOVES the snow! Sheba will be spayed before being officially adopted and could be fostered-to-adopt (with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application) while she awaits her spay procedure.
