Comments: Maggie May is an Akita mix, with what - we don't
know. She was adopted once from the
shelter and then returned a few weeks later because the
adopters were moving. Sadly, this put Maggie in danger
of being put to sleep if a new home wasn't found quickly. No
one came to adopt her and we couldn't let her be euthanized.
She is just too sweet. Maggie loves to cuddle and will
sit on command. She jumps right into a crate in the
back of a car and rides quietly. She was temperament
tested at the shelter and passed on the food, toy and treat
tests. She was fine with cats and ignored other dogs.
She is a happy well-behaved girl who will make someone a
wonderful companion. She wants to live in the house
and spend as much time with her family as she can.
When she's outside, she will need a secure 5-6 foot fence
with a secure gate. Maggie walks nicely on a leash and
will make you smile. We've learned that Maggie barks
and has a tendency to wander. So you will need to keep
an eye on her until she feels at home. She would do
best in a country setting. Maggie has LOTS of energy and
needs a home where she can get LOTS of attention. Maggie is up to date on her
vaccinations and is micro-chipped.

Comments:
Kelley is now in her long-term foster home
where she is learning her house manners. She
is very sweet and needs her own family badly. She came to
us from a shelter where she had been brought in as a stray. She
had followed a girl home from school and her family never came
to claim her. She is learning to enjoy quiet time in
her crate. Kelley accept treats gently and walks well on a
leash. We learn more about her every day. We do know
she is FAST! - a speedy Akita.
Kelley has been diagnosed with pemphigus which
is an auto-immune disorder. She will eventually need to be
on steroids and supplements. And she needs a good SPF-15
sunscreen on her nose when she is out in the sun. She can
live a long and happy life!
UPDATE: Kelley is good with children and
cats. She also has a male Shiba as a friend.

Comments:
This is our second Takara and
she is a sweet as the first. Takara was found in the
middle of a field during our very snowy winter. She
had fallen and could not get up. Who knows how long
she lay out there in the cold. Happily she is now in a
loving foster home where she has a warm bed and plenty of
food and water. Takara is getting on a bit in years
but she has a lot of love left to give. She does have
arthritis and may need some pain control and
anti-inflammatory meds.
Securely fenced yard a must. Takara is current on
vaccinations and is micro-chipped. Adoption
application, home check and adoption contract required.

Sumi is a 10 year old girl
whose family was transferred to Guam and they could not take
her with them. Sumi REALLY needs a family and home for
her retirement years. She lived with cats and is good
with children. She may be good with a male dog is
introduced properly. She can stay in the house all day
while you are at work and will sit at your feet while you
watch TV or work on the computer. Her family is
hoping that we can find a loving home for Sumi. And we
are hoping someone out there has a soft spot for the oldies.
She is very healthy and has no problems with stairs.
Please consider making Sumi a part of your family.
Securely fenced yard a must. Sumi is current on
vaccinations and is micro-chipped. Adoption

Gwenny's family has to move and they cannot
take her with them. She is wonderful with other dogs,
cats, and small dog savvy children. She is an indoor dog
and is very spoiled. She needs someone who will appreciate
her for the curious, stubborn, incredible animal she is.
Gwenny needs someone who will take care of her, brush her and
walk her regularly. Securely fenced yard a must.
Contact Ross at 425-408-1470. Gwenny must find a home by June
25!
