Story

Hi, my name is Dagen! Believe it or not, I was found astray, and no one came looking for me. I am a handsome young Akita, and the shelter is no place for a big pup like me. True to my breed I am headstrong and very intelligent. I am looking for my furever home with someone who has experience with Akita`s or dogs with a similar temperament. I have some mild handling sensitivity and I ask that any children in the home be 8 and older, as well as dog-savvy. I may enjoy canine companionship, which could help keep me on my best behavior. I am not sure how I feel about cats but I am open to trying with proper introduction. Once I let my initial guard down I am a very affectionate, loyal, and kind-hearted dog. If I am what you are looking for then come on over and let`s meet!---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org

Story

Rider is a beautiful big boy who was surrendered to the shelter when his owner left him with their roommate and never came back! Unfortunately the roommate wasn't interested in keeping him and he's now waiting for someone to scoop him up from the overcrowded shelter! Rider has been an aloof boy since getting to the shelter but warms up with time outside. The person who surrendered him said he is fully housetrained and that he's good with other dogs. Rider is now available for adoption or rescue partner at ACCT Philly. You can meet him any day from 10am-6pm! Video: Rider and Pancake: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LlFM_M6pC5k?feature=share Rider and Serenity fence meet: https://youtube.com/shorts/mPwFRfqFXV4?feature=share Rider and Serenity meet: https://youtube.com/shorts/VzabElJ5bxs?feature=share Behavior: Per Volunteer 11/3/24: Rider was at the other end of his kennel when I approached- I whistled and he came right to me. Sniffed out the leash before allowing me to leash him and was hesitant of the leashing process. Going through the shelter he was VERY cautious. Walking out was very slow and sniffed everything he could, then cowered to the floor when he heard loud noises. Spent the whole time outside sniffing, pretty aloof with me. We did a meet with adoptable Pancake and Rider was VERY forward. He approached her very quickly and put his paws up on her as if he was trying to mount her. She ended up growling at him as he was being very rude so we ended the meet. He was more comfortable walking through kennels but I had to use some pressure to get him back inside his kennel. Per Staff 11/1/24: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Rider KNOWN HISTORY: Owner surrender KENNEL PRESENTATION: Rider was in his kennel with neutral eyes near the door. He had some high tail wags and was whining when the handler interacted with him. He sniffed through the crack of the door to sniff the leash and once secured came right out. LEASH SKILLS: Pulled moderately HANDLING: In the yard, Rider was sniffing around the yard chattering at all the smells. He never greeted the handlers but tolerated the handlers interacting with him. He was very aloof to all handling and tried to avoid interaction with the handlers. He is sensitive about his back end, ears, tail, and darted forward away the handler. Rider met a dog through the gate and was very excited with a high wagging tail. Further during his eval, Rider continued to ignore the handlers as we attempted to keep his attention on us and wanted to continue to sniff and smell around the yard where other female dogs have been. PLAY No interest TOYS: No interest Per Staff 10/31/24: was sniffing all around intake , was not showing interests with treats or us . allowed to be touched but would be a little tense . handler was able to muzzle rider and once muzzled and restraint , he allowed to be exam and get his shots ; advise to take it slow but appears to be a good boy with some time.

Story

Meet Koda!!This girl is about 7 years old and is an Akita mix. Unfortunately for Koda, she did not enjoy dogs or cats, so she is going to need a home without them. She is large in size and needs older kids. She didn’t enjoy us touching her back end or paws during the assessment. If you can provide Koda a home that matches her needs, please apply for her! Previous Akita experienced would be amazing for her!PA KENNEL LICENSE #1333

Story

KENNEL ID #01658&#226&#128&#139 Introducing ‘Ghost’ a 3 year old American Akita. Ghost is a super sweet fellow and needs a calm, confident and active owner who is attentive to his needs and instincts. His confidence, once shattered, is building back up with patient handling. He walks great on a leash and loves being close to you. He enjoys car rides, to go for a hike and enjoys walks where he can take in all the sights and smells along the way. Akitas don’t accept the settings of doggie daycares, canine play dates, or dog parks. Ghost fits most of the typical description of the Akita breed. He strongly prefers to be the only dog in the household, will chase small animals, and livestock; as he has protection tendencies over what he perceives to be his owners and property. Akitas are fast and inquisitive, and even with advanced training this is not a breed that can be off leash. Ghost is extremely affectionate and loyal and is seeking an owner to give all his loyalty and trust. SafeHART) (jotform.com) Thank you for your interest in rescue.

Where are our Akita lovers at ? Noelle was surrendered due to her house being flooded and her family being forced to relocate.After the flooding , she was caged a great portion of her days due to everything in her families life being turned upside down .She previously lived with children and other dogs however she likes to be the Alpha . We would be happy to do a meet and greet with other dogs, preferably males and submissive . She has a lot of energy and is a beauty queen ?? (as you can plainly see ) She’s a diamond in the rough for someone familiar with this fabulous breed .She would need to be kept separated for feedings.
