Gypsy is still waiting for her perfect home.
Gypsy was found this a stray in the Detroit area. She is around 2 years old. She is easy to walk and responds well to the few commands she’s already learned. Sit, down, come and no.
 She loves to play and seeks human interaction and affection. She loves car rides, but favors the front seat over the back. When confined to the backseat likes to lick the drivers ears to get attention and permission to come forward.
If you are looking for your new best buddy that is definitely a velcro dog, look no further.
She is up to date on all vaccinations and has been spayed
Akita experience is required
Gypsy prefers to be an only dog

Lisa AKA Lizzie, cherished by all, has blessed our lives for 963 remarkable days. Her patience has paid off, and she's discovered her haven. When love is meant to be, it's unmistakable. We're deeply thankful to Teresa and Wayne for welcoming our lovely girl into their hearts and home. The instant connection between Lizzie and her new sibling Benson is a testament to the power of love. Our appreciation goes out to Samantha and Tyler, her compassionate fosters, whose love made this moment possible. Happy 'gotcha day,' Lizzie. Congratulations, Teresa and Wayne.

Blue is so sad. He is the last of his family left. Both his brothers went to amazing homes and so did his Mom. He really needs his own home.

Welcome to our newest orphan Bandit
Bandit was found as a stray in Detroit. We thank DACC for bringing him to our attention while we were there pulling another dog. We also thank them for getting him much needed medical attention.
He is safe with a foster but has a lot of medical needs.
At his vet apt they did two skin scrapes which he hated and then they did chest xrays to check for pneumonia.
He’s been coughing up chunks of green mucus the last couple of days.
They didn’t see pneumonia on his x-rays, but a lot of scarring and damage around the outside of his lungs that may be permanent due to him hacking for so long.
He is on medication and once he is feeling better he will have additional bloodwork done and a complete thyroid panel.

Bandit is not available for adoption as of yet but he will be once we attend to all his medical needs.

If you would like make a tax deductible donation for our beautiful Bandits medical needs here is the link

Blue is feeling down in the dumps today 😞
Hes watched all of his brothers and his mom find their perfect happy endings and is wondering when is it going to be his turn.
Blue knows basic commands, potty trained. Loves all people and loves to learn.
He is 9 months old, neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date on preventions.
Blue deserves his very own home and not to spend any more time growing up in boarding!
Blue must be an only pet, he’s got so much love to give and doesnt want to share his favorite humans with others.

Really Rella, you have come such a long way with love, hard work and care. Rella is a 3.6 year old female Akita who was from the St Louis Mo area and thought to have experienced some abuse and mistreatment. The shelter named her Mozarella for her love of cheese treats and we renamed her Rella. She initially had some separation anxiety which our loving foster home has helped her oversome. Rella is housebroken, walks well on lead, loves people and her favorite is car rides. Regardless of what she is called be it her nickname Cheese or our Rella, she has overcome her past life experiences and proved to be a wonderful companion who is looking for her forever home.

Lisa is a 7 year old female Akita. Lovingly referred to as Lizzie by her foster family. She has been in foster care for over two years and is looking for her forever match! She is the best of both worlds as she loves to curl up near you to take a nap or play/run/bounce around outside. She can be shy at first but once she warms up to you she is a great edition to your family! She knows simple commands like sit, place and stay. She is also crate trained. She does well on a leash. Lisa feels very comfortable with other dogs so she would love a fur sibling! She has not had any experience with cats so it is unknown how she would do. Lisa can be frighted by quick movements so older kids or no kids may be best.
She is up to date on vaccinations, on preventative spayed, chipped and tacked.

Located in foster care in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

If you would like to meet Lisa, or any of our other orphans please contact Deanna OBrien at [email protected] or 773-594-9302.
