GRIZZLY
Boy, can looks and names can be deceiving!
Belvidere, IL

Grizzly's elderly owner will be moving into senior housing and is hoping to find a new family for his old friend Grizzly. Grizzly is a long coated Akita and a big boy. He is very friendly and extremely laid back. He spends a good deal of time outside in his fenced backyard. He stays in a heated garage overnight. Grizzly appears house-trained as is indoor quarters were very clean.

As you can see from the pictures, Grizzly just wants to be loved and more importantly to love. When volunteers visited him, he was so happy to get a few pets and a little attention. He appears to have a good temperament and would make a wonderful buddy for a single person or couple in a quiet household. He does appear to have a little trouble seeing longer distances so he would do best in a home where he would be the only pet.

His owner is getting the help he needs, and we hope someone will step forward to help Grizzly and give this great boy the love and home he so deserves. With a little love and little TLC Grizzly is going to be one stunning and happy boy.

Grizzly will be neutered and current on vaccinations before he is placed. For more information on this soulful soul, looking for a place to share his love, please contact:

SAMI
Chicago, IL

Sami is 22 months old, she was born on November 10th, 2009. She is CKC registered, spayed, microchipped and current on vaccination. She is an inside dog who loves to be with the family. Sami only goes outside to potty and then comes back in. She hates the heat and she loves the air conditioned house more than anything. Sami prefers not to be by herself. She has been extensively trained from 8 weeks old all the way up to Canine good citizen. However, she did not earn her GCG it because of her reaction to other dogs, but but she know all of the commands and then some. A very smart companion and very seldom barks only if something is really wrong. If you looking for a wonderful and loyal companion for a one-dog household please contact:

NICO
Abercrombie, ND

Nico is a 9 month old female Akita. She is an amazing puppy and is very smart however very defiant and stubborn. She is up to date on all vaccines, has gotten the Lyme Disease Vaccine as well. She is spayed and also micro-chipped. Her temperment is pretty laid back, rarely barks, knows how to sit and lay down on command. She has been known to run and with a yard with no fence I feel as though she gets bored having to be linked to a post in the ground. With proper introductions she is good with other dogs and children.

HANNAH & BEAR
Columbus, OH

Hannah & Bear are five-year-old brother and sister purebred Akitas. As much as it breaks our hearts, we are moving overseas permanently at the end of this year and unfortunately cannot take them with us. We are looking for loving new owners who have experience with large dogs – preferably Akitas – and could adopt them together (I don’t think Bear would survive without Hannah). These two are very happy and loving companions who are also in excellent health. They have never had a more than a routine veterinary visit. Neither have joint or any other medical problems. Hannah & Bear were well socialized around people, other dogs, and cats. In addition to being extremely affectionate pets, they are also very well behaved. Bear has a few bad habits potential owners should be aware of: when excited he may pull at the beginning of a walk and if unsupervised he will steal food off any surface he can reach. Bear is also rather vocal when excited – he doesn’t bark, but makes sort of a “woo, woo, woo” call when he wants attention. These healthy, happy, and affections dogs would make a wonderful addition to any loving family. Of course for any serious potential owners, we would drive the pups to you.

Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions about our search for a new home for Hannah & Bear:
