Story
KIRIN - 5-8 years old, 90 pounds, friendly, good on leash KIRIN arrived at VBACAC as a stray. Incredibly, someone is missing a 90 pound easy going girl and never came to reclaim her. Kirin is big. She is beautiful. She has thick black, brown and white fur. You can see her undercoat, so tempting to want to brush her and clear it out.  She is a nice girl. Quiet. Curious. She trotted around the yard sniffing, trying to figure out where she is and what's going on. She would approach me here and there, took treats sometimes but not always. She wasn't interested in sitting for the treats either which I didn't mind bc we were still very new to each other. And that's about all we know about her.  Akitas are big and beautiful dogs. They have distinct personality characteristics. Please do your research before considering adoption bc we want to make sure this girl matches with your home and lifestyle. We also do not yet know how she feels about other dogs so bring yours in for a meet and greet and be ready for supervision. Kirin is currently in our large dog adoption kennel so come on in to meet her.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 9, 2025, 10:39 am

Story
Valerian is an adult (born approx 4.1.17) neutered male Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Lucy comes to us from the SPCA of North Eastern NC where her owner was caught on camera dumping her at a local storage center. Lucy is very sweet, but does need some additional leash training.
