Why hasn't anyone chosen FRANKIE, the epitome of sweetness and affection? This young boy's heart is overflowing with love, and he's eager to share it with his forever family. Frankie's journey began as a stray in Detroit, so his past remains a mystery, but we estimate him to be between 2 and 3 years old. While we may not know everything about Frankie's history, we do know that he's ready to embark on a new chapter in life. Here are just a few things that make Frankie an exceptional companion: —Up-to-date on vaccinations —On prevention —Microchipped —Neutered —Generous with hugs —Knows basic commands —Treat motivated —Requires Akita-experienced owners —Enjoys car rides Frankie's ideal home would be one where he's the center of attention, with no cats and a securely fenced yard to accommodate his tall stature. Due to his size, we recommend families with children over 8 years old. Frankie is a majestic young male, weighing a lean 104 pounds, with plenty of room to grow. His passion in life is showering his loved ones with hugs and Akita leans.

Frankie is located in the Oregon WI area

Why blue is still waiting for a home ill never understand 😞 Blue has spent almost his entire first year of life in boarding, due to no fault of his own. He loves people, he loves kids, hes kind to cats and livestock, kind to dogs in passing & could possibly live with a submissive female after proper intros. Knows basic commands, does amazing in public. All he wants is someone to love him, he would make an awesome office dog or travel companion.
Please apply if he sounds like your perfect match at akitas.org

If you are looking for a FUN loving girl ready for your next adventure together, she IS your girl.
This girl would do amazing with scent work as she is always nose to the ground during walks

She had a home but her people decided to move and abandon her in the yard. Well at least they left the door open so she could go in and out. 🤷‍♀️

If you’re looking for a fun loving Akita she’s your girl.

Welcome to our new boy Quincy.
He was found as a stray in Detroit. He has an old wound to his neck, possible from an embedded collar, and some old wounds to his paws and legs. 

He will be available once we get to know him and he gets healthier. He needs to gain some weight as he is very thin.

Thank you to Detroit Animal Care and Control for taking such good care of him while he was with you.
