Story
DOB - Feb. 10, 2020 Reason for rehoming: My son (owner) moved to Africa. I cannot keep him due to my lease. If he cannot be rehomed, he will have to go to a shelter. The local Akita rescue is not accepting any new dogs. Alpha is a sweet and devoted American Akita looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and naturally protective of his family—once he bonds with you, he is your shadow and your biggest fan. Alpha does have environmental allergies, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue his care and keep him comfortable. He cannot be boarded, so he needs a family who can provide in-home care or trusted at-home pet sitting when traveling. He loves being near his people, enjoys calm environments, and does best with someone who understands large guardian breeds. Alpha will make an amazing companion for the right person or family—someone who values loyalty, connection, and a dog who truly loves his humans.

Story
Shelby is a doll despite a hard life. She was probably dumped as she just showed up to a nice family’s house. They had no fencing and they did not care if she wandered so she didn’t stay. We intervened when she continued to roam. We are getting her healthy despite neglect. She was so matted we had to cut her coat with scissors but she has since been groomed. It just makes her even more adorable. She is so sweet and gentle and never met a stranger. This girl is a jewel in the rough. She gets along with everyone…. Even cats! She loves outdoors but comes in when called. She loved our recent Arctic plunge and played on the sleet! Can you make her shine ? She will reward you with more love and loyalty than you can imagine.. She has been in a foster home so she has been well socialized and loves to go for walks. She is living indoors and is a wonderful companion. She deserves a permanent home and is ready! She is available for transport as are many of our animals. If you inquire about her, expect a response within 24 hrs. Check your spam if you do not see it from: tbcanimalrescue@yahoo.com.If you would like to adopt this sweet furbaby, please complete our pre-qualification application at this link: https://bit.ly/2CCVFPV#AdoptDontShop #TBCAnimalRescue

Story
Hi, I’m Sitka! I’m a sweet husky mix, about 51 lbs and around 2–3 years old. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once you earn my trust, I’ll be your loyal companion for life. Here are a few things to know about me: I have medium energy — I love a nice walk or some playtime, but I’m just as happy relaxing by your side. I’m crate trained and potty trained, so I’m ready to fit right into your home. The staff and volunteers absolutely adore me — they say I’m gentle, loving, and easy to fall for. I do best in a calm, patient home where I can continue to build my confidence. I’m really hoping to find that special someone who sees my potential and gives me the love I’ve been waiting for. I’m ready to find my forever home — could it be with you? For more information or to adopt, foster, or foster-to-adopt this pet, please contact Rowlett Animal Services    972-412-6219  or      AnimalServices@Rowlett.com . March 9, 2026, 3:38 pm

Hi, I’m Winter &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143 I’m 1 year old, weigh 55 lbs, and I might just be the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. I’m very friendly and love people—I have such a gentle, loving heart. I’m amazing on a leash and walk calmly right by your side, making every walk easy and enjoyable. I did have a home once, but sadly my owner never came back for me. Even so, I still believe in love and am ready to give my whole heart to a new family. I’m spayed and up to date on all my shots, so I’m all set to start my next chapter with you. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, easygoing companion, I’d love to meet you and show you just how special I am. &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143   For more information or to adopt, foster, or foster-to-adopt this pet, please contact Rowlett Animal Services  972-412-6219 or   AnimalServices@Rowlett.com.March 9, 2026, 3:15 pm
