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
Hi I am the strong and handsome Dakota. I came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about me. I am a nice dog and friendly with most people that I meet. I have some training, I understand sit and I love to be pet. I`m pretty smart if I do say so myself! The staff here have been working on my `dog sociability` as I am still trying to figure other dogs out.Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

                                                                             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.  If you would like to be considered for  adoption please submit an application to adopt.  If you have any questions regarding the adoption process please  email:    dianespets1486@gmail.com  or call 610-970-7500 APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG   SMALL ANIMALS   BIRD REPTILE   FERRET November 6, 2024, 1:39 am
