By using this listing, the adopting party releases TARA from any and all liability arising out of or in any way connected with the adoption of the pet listed.
Doug
Doug is a friendly, six-year old male Akita in need of a new home as the animal shelter he is at is very full of large breed dogs and kennel space is limited.
He is well behaved in his kennel with no fighting with his neighbors and passes other dogs with ease.
He is good on the leash and walks easily with minimal pulling.
He loves to play with toys and is particularly fond of balls (on our walk, he found a ball shaped beverage container and when asked to "leave it" he dropped it without a problem).
Doug is not overly affectionate; however, he does enjoy his playtime and wants attention. He can be a bit mouthy, but shows no signs of aggression and stops when told. He will sit for his ball.
He is available for adoption and the best candidate for his new family would have had previous experience with Akitas.
If you would like to know more about Doug or meet him, please contact:

Koti
Koti is a darling young boy who is a total love, but you might not see it right away as it appears as if he was mistreated in his former life. He will need someone who will go slow and be patient until he gains your trust.
Once he does, he will show you his alter ego which is his puppy from within! He is all about play, car rides and zoomies in the yard.
His favorite past time is to play a game of chase with the squirrels in the yard. He loves to lay on the patio and enjoy the fresh air.
Koti is crate trained and house trained. He will not be appropriate with cats.
He enjoys the pack walks with our other rescues as he gains comfort and confidence. He may do well with an easy going female companion.
Contact us for more information about Koti at: info@namasteakitarescue.com
Please note, an adoption application, phone interview and home visit are required before a meeting with a dog can be arranged.

Hope's Puppies - Athena
We rescued Hope and her eight pups in December, after they’d been turned into the shelter after they’d been found at the city dump.
Somewhere before we picked up the pups from the shelter, they had been exposed to Parvo. By some miracle two of the pups were unaffected, but like clockwork, the others began showing symptoms. Stacy first and then Cinder.
We were devastated that after days in intensive care, Stacy waged a courageous battle but she lost her fight with the virus. Cinder also succumbed to the illness and died in his foster mom’s arms on the way to the hospital.
The remaining pups also fell to the virus and were kept alive in ICU with fluids, meds, feeding tubes and plasma transfusions. There were countless sleepless nights, not knowing if they would make it through the night. In the end and thousands of dollars later, the pups pulled through one by one and they returned to their foster home to complete their rehab. That was on Christmas night, and what a Christmas it was knowing they had survived the worst of it.
They are now approximately three to four months old, and all doing well now growing and getting stronger by the day! Each of them have their own distinct personalities and they are curious and eager to start experiencing life! They have some catching up to do and can’t wait to get started! Hope, the pups’ mom is an Akita mix, even though the pups look like purebred Akitas. Hope is exceptionally trusting and affectionate and all the pups received her loving genes.
After all they’ve been through, we want to be sure we place them in their forever homes, that best suit their personalities and requirements as growing Akita puppies.
o We are seeking homes with Akita experience and no small children
o A flexible schedule or the ability to work from home is a must, as these pups cannot be left alone for hours at a time without care and supervision
o Our adoption process requires an application, phone interview and a home visit

Nella
Nella is a 9-year old, female, white Akita. She was surrendered to the shelter because her owner had to go to a group assistance home and they will not allow her bring Nella with her.
Nella’s owner was disabled for a long time, so she is used to people in wheelchairs. She is mellow, but does not always do well with cats and other dogs.
Nella’s Animal ID number at the shelter is A562164

Rikki
Update 1/30/2019:
Rikki, our Prince Charming is a worthy suitor who is at the ready to rescue his damsel in distress.
He would love nothing more than for someone to rescue his heart as well! He’s been waiting for that special someone for almost a year.
Rikki is approximately three years old. He’s an exuberant boy with a larger than life persona. He is the kind of Akita who needs a purpose in life. He looks forward to our walks with our other rescues when he is happiest and feels it’s his job to lead the pack. He is extremely devoted to his pack of humans and canines and if one should fall behind, he refuses to continue. Instead he dutifully waits until the pack is together before he proceeds.
Rikki is a quick study and has mastered almost all of his obedience skills. He still gets excited and sometimes forgets how big and strong he is. He needs someone strong and capable of handling and directing his energy into having that job he enjoys so much.
He is loyal and devoted. All he wants in return is love, a purpose in life and someone as devoted to him as he will be to you.
Could he be your Prince Charming?
If you're interested in Rikki you can find our application on the link below in addition to details about our adoption process.

If you have any questions, please email us at: info@namasteakitarescue.com
Previous Update:
Rikki is an XL Akita with a larger than life personality! He loves belly rubs and lots of play time! His personality is boisterous, playful and energetic, sprinkled with affection and love.
Rikki will need structure in his home, paired with ample exercise, play time, long walks and a dedicated training routine.
He will require someone who is strong and active and can guide him with leadership and consistency. An Akita savvy home is a prerequisite to adopt Rikki.
Rikki knows some basic commands, but pulls hard on leash. We are working on his leash manners. He was quite shy and unsure of his surroundings when he arrived. He has made great progress during our weekly pack walks and outings to local outdoor malls and shopping areas.
His new guardian will need to continue acclimating him and socializing him to new situations and people, as he continues to learn about the world around him. So far he is proving he is ready, willing and able to achieve greater success
Rikki does not appreciate cats or small dogs, and should be the only dog in the household. We estimate his age to be between 3 to 5 years old.
Please note, an approved adoption application is required, before a meeting can be arranged between a prospective adopter and our dogs.
