Akitas Available for Adoption




Meet Emi Our Graceful Survivor Searching for Her Forever Home.
For more than two long years, Emi has been patiently waiting for the day she can finally go home. That’s an incredible show of strength for any dog, but for a senior like Emi it’s pure resilience of heart and spirit.
Once a beloved family companion, Emi has faced her time in rescue with quiet dignity and balance. Like the Yin and Yang she seems to embody, Emi has learned to find peace in the in-between, accepting her life in transition while still holding onto hope.
Despite her time in care, Emi remains a radiant soul, endearing, mischievous, and deeply loving. She moves with grace and elegance, her beautiful brindle coat gleaming as she trots happily beside you on her short walks. She loves affection, engaging with her people and, of course crinkly toys and tasty treats! At around 10 years old, Emi still has that classic Akita spirit, a touch of independence and a sparkle of opinionated charm. She manages some mild arthritis with anti-inflammatories, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying playtime or soaking up sunshine in the yard.
Emi would flourish in a home without other dogs or cats so she can shower you with all her love.
What Emi needs most now is what every dog deserves: a soft place to land, a family to call her own, and the comfort of knowing she’s home at last. Please consider opening your heart and home to this extraordinary girl. Whether through adoption or as a permanent foster, you could be the one to give Emi the peace, love, and security she’s been waiting for all this time. She’s ready….she just needs someone to finally say, “Welcome home, Emi!”

HIROMI - ADOPTED!
Hiromi was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving.
After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but in less than 10 days, she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit.
Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising.
Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA!
Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons.
Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She greets people with ease as long as they approach with the same calm energy that she emits. She seems non-reactive to other dogs and we think she'd like to have a mellow male companion.
This gorgeous girl is approximately 5 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained.
She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?!

TOBI - ADOPTED!
We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life.
Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again.
He could be paired with a calm, social female and best with someone with previous Akita experience.
Tobi is approximately 6 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's been with us for over a year now and we can't understand why he's not found his forever home yet, but we also know the right home will come along when the time is right.
