Ninja - Adopted!

A5344786

Ninja is a friendly 12-year-old cream and black male purebred Akita whose owners dropped him off at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, because he is in pain and they could no longer afford his care, on January 5th.

Weighing 107 pounds, humble Ninja needs an angel as soon as possible. When you see him you just want to pet him and hold him and ease his pain. He is housebroken. He is a low energy, super chill senior and when he is up for it, he is easy to get out of his kennel to walk around. Ninja has a hard time getting up because he has hip dysplasia and a tumor on his rear end.

When he was taken into the play yard with other dogs he was fine and non-reactive with the other dogs. The shelter requires that if there are other dogs in the household, they be nice and calm so they don’t make it hard on Ninja. They are also requiring an adults-only home. 

The shelter has him on a pain killer for his hips, but he will need a visit to a vet once he gets out.   We know there is some kind person out there, or a wonderful rescue, who will take this lovely gentle giant home and ease his pain to give him the love and comfort he deserves for as long as he has left.

Blaine

Blaine is a handsome, 3-year old, Akita that is looking for a new home because his owner needs to relocate back home to care for elderly parents and unfortunately, where Mom and Dad live, large pets like Blaine are not allowed.

Blaine is a very friendly and social Akita gets along with just about everyone. He gets along with children well, but he might play too rough with them if they are overly reactive (i.e. running away from Blaine might cause him to chase after them).

Blaine generally behaves well with other dogs, but may get snappy if provoked by another large dog. He plays very well with other dogs of his size (I've noticed that he plays particularly well with huskies, but gets along with most dogs generally unless they bark/threaten him). He is generally friendly with cats and other small animals, but his size can be intimidating for smaller animals. I don't think he is fully aware of his size, but at most, he sniffs their hind sides.

He's a very energetic and playful dog. When it comes to play, he's not aggressive (doesn't destroy toys, only mouths them at most). He responds very well to treats and listens to all my commands. He was born with hip dysplasia, but this was corrected through FHO surgery when he was 1 year old. He has made a full recovery since.

Additionally, he really likes to play with shoes and flip flops at home (he doesn't destroy them, he just likes to pick them up with his mouth and then drop them somewhere else). He's still very much a puppy, and so can get overstimulated (he mouths at my feet/hands or tries to jump, but we've been working on this in his training class) when he sees me when I come home from work.

 

Blaine’s owner has asked that adopters interested in Blaine submit an adoption application for consideration.

 

For more information about Blaine or if you can give him a new home, please complete an adoption application (found at tikihutakitarescue.com/adopting) and email your application to info@tikihutakitarescue.com.

Sam

 

 

Sam is an all white, 2-year old, male Akita that is looking for his new home. His family had to move back home to take care of their parents and unfortunately, Sam could not join them because the town they moved back to does not allow large dogs.

Sam is healthy, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, crate trained, very intelligent and learns very quickly.

He and his temporary guardian have been working with a trainer for the past three months, practicing every day and you can see how well he is doing in the video!

He has been working on his doggie manners and is doing good with sit, down, shake, come, catch ball and is working on his heeling while walking.

Sam’s new family will need to continue work on his training and socialization with people and other animals. Sam can be very selective with the people he likes, is wary of strangers and has not had a lot of interactions with children. Sam and his new family will need to be capable and diligent about continuing his training and socialization to ensure that he becomes a well-balanced Akita.

Sam has been with other dogs during his training, but he may not get along with all dogs that he may encounter. It is important that his new family continues to work with giving Sam lots of positive exposure to many different people, animals and situations so that he can develop the confidence to be in different environments and experiences. 

 

Sam’s guardian has asked that adopters interested in Sam complete and submit an adoption application for consideration.

For more information about Sam or if you can give him a new home, please complete an adoption application (found at tikihutakitarescue.com/adopting) and email your application to info@tikihutakitarescue.com.

Yankee and Dodger

Yankee and Dodger are 7-year old German Shepherd/Akita Mix sisters that are looking for a new home because their owner is now working long hours away from home and unable to care for them all the time.

They both weigh around 55 pounds, are healthy, house trained and their vaccinations are up to date.

They love people, but do not get along with other dogs, cats or other small animals. If they will be left unattended in a yard for a significant amount of time, they will require a securely fenced area as they can be escape artists if left alone too long.

 

For more information or if you are able to give them a new home, please complete an adoption application (found at tikihutakitarescue.com/adopting) and email your application to Yankee and Dodger's owner at jdboys16@gmail.com

Stella

Stella is a 2-year old that learns quickly and is easy to train. She knows, “sit, down, stay, shake, release, etc.” and is house trained. She needs an experienced and patient dog owner that can provide her with daily exercise and time for her to be comfortable with new experiences and meeting new people.

Stella does not do well with other animals; she is constantly watching our cat and chases squirrels in the backyard. She is a strong-willed and dominant Akita, so she should be in a home as the only dog.

 

She can be food aggressive when another animal is present with food around or if she thinks that they have discovered food. As long as situations with multiple dogs in our home are managed carefully and properly (by having each dog be in a down and stay until food is presented to them or being individually crated during meal time) there are no issues.

She does not have food aggression with people she knows and we can take away her food bowl away from her during meal time with no issues.

Stella has no problems walking past other dogs outside in public or at the vet’s office, but she should be carefully introduced to other dogs individually as she may respond differently to each one.

 

Stella is a smart, sweet and loyal dog. Once she warms up to you, she will be your number one fan!

 

 

Stella’s family has asked that adopters interested in Stella complete and submit an adoption application for consideration.

 

If you can give Stella a new home, please complete an adoption application (found at tikihutakitarescue.com/adopting) and email your application to info@tikihutakitarescue.com

Genji

It’s impossible to overlook this big, beautiful boy. Genji is a stunner who soaks up compliments and attention from admirers wherever he goes! He’s just a youngster at a year and a half old. He’s active, attentive and eager to learn all there is about the world and is more than ready for the journey.

Genji is also sweet, affectionate, playful and wakes up every morning with a great attitude. He’s not letting the fact that he was dumped in the shelter, cloud his dreams of finding his forever home.
He’s an XL adolescent and yet still has a lot of growing to do. He could easily top 100 lbs at his adult weight.

An experienced Akita home is required for this big boy. He is a gentle and loving soul. Due to his size and strength he will do best with someone who can continue to nurture his wonderful disposition. He welcomes and thrives on confident leadership and consistency. Genji is incredibly smart and catches on quickly.
 
Genji loves attention and looks forward to his walks and social outings with our other rescues Our pack walks keep him well socialized, mentally stimulated and exercised.
 
He would not be a good candidate if you have cats or small animals at home. Though he is social with our rescues, we prefer he be the only dog in the home.

Rikki - Adopted!

 

Rikki has been waiting a long time for his forever home, but he doesn’t let that dampen his spirit.

He’s a big powerful lug, generous with his affection, wildly enthusiastic and eager to express his love of life every single day!

He’s an active boy in the prime of his life. He’s bursting at the seams with anticipation, waiting to share his life with his special person.

Because he’s oblivious of his size and power and his propensity for making a grand entrance, he would be best with someone who has a love of training, is active and enjoys the outdoors. Rikki is intelligent and quick to learn. He understands all his basic obedience commands and is at his best when he’s showing off his talents. He loves to please and is highly motivated by treats. We’ve just scratched the surface as he has tremendous untapped potential. He loves training and thrives on that one-on-one connection that comes with it.

True to his breed, no cats or small animals for Rikki. He loves the pack walks with our other rescues, as long as he leads the pack. However, he should be the only dog in his new home.

It is an awesome sight to see this big boy roll on his back with his feet in the air, as an invitation for belly rubs!

We are seeking an Akita savvy home with someone who understands this special breed. Your dedication and commitment will be rewarded with his love and devotion.

If you're interested in Rikki you can find our application on the link below in addition to details about our adoption process.
