Story
Meet Gorgeous Dark Brindle Akita Klive! Klive is a 6 month old full Akita saved from a puppy mill and he is already coming in around 60 lbs, so he is going to be a big boy. He has the most beautiful markings and that dark face, with those piercing eyes...you have to wonder what he is thinking, but then I realize he is thinking about his next toy! Klive is always on the lookout, any stops to listen to any new noise, I think those ears are antenna's! :) Klive's favorite things are the outdoors and his toys! He loves all kinds of toys, but squeaky ones and bones are his favorite. He is doing great on potty training, most of the time he will wait for his outside play time or he will go on potty pads in his enclosed room. He does Great on a Leash and Car Rides as well. Klive will lean into you for pets all the time and he likes to give you a few kisses while you are giving him a good rub. He seems to be good around other dogs as a puppy, but since he is going to be on the large side, you would have to watch him not to step on others. He doen't realize his size and Akita's like to "touch" with their paws, and his are not small! This boy will do about anything for a treat and you will be his person if you are the one giving them to him! If you are looking to have a Beautiful Big New Best Friend...Klive is the one for you! Eventhough Klive loves to go on walks and smell everything, he will also Require a Fenced yard to release some of his energy. His zoomies are for real. When he stretchs out and runs, he looks so beautiful! Akita's are AMAZING dogs, but not for everybody, please read up on the breed before applying. Klive is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $300.00.

Story
I got Mowgli in Melbourne, Australia, when he was about 10 weeks old. He is a 2-year-old neutered male Siberian Husky and the most loving companion in my life. Since I got him, I’ve had multiple relocations and job changes, including moving back to India and then to the U.S. I did everything possible to keep him with me, including shipping him to the States and boarding him at a farm for four months while I got settled. He has been with me through everything and has lived with me in my small one-bedroom apartment. Last week I lost my job without notice, and I’m now facing sudden financial hardship and an immediate relocation. With a heavy heart, I believe it’s in his best interest to find a stable home that can provide consistent care, love, outdoor time, and attention. He is affectionate, social, and happiest when he can be active outside. My priority is a safe, responsible placement for him.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This beauty is Sasha. Sasha was left behind at a hotel in San Antonio.  Her family had been a guest and decided to leave her behind when they left.  Lucky for her, the hotel called our vet and asked for help.  This beauty is very smart and active.  She  needs a family that is going to keep her busy.  This breed has to have a job to be happy.  Are you looking for a walking or running buddy?   Do you think you would like to enter working dog classes in your spare time?  If so, this is your girl. She needs an active  family to walk with, play with in the back yard, and run around chasing toys. Sasha is about 2 years old, 58 pounds and $300 to adopt. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
