Shelby is a beautiful 4 year old Akita with a sweet temperament. She has been outside in a kennel run the majority of her life, but now that is she getting regular attention, she has no desire to go back to the kennel life.
When first relinquished to us, due to financial hard times of her owners, Shelby enjoyed going for walks several times a day with her caretakers at the kennel and did very nicely on a leash. Shelby has been very good with everyone she has met so far. She will be moved to a foster home with other big dogs soon.
UPDATE: Shelby has now been spayed and is UTD on vaccinations. Shelby has also been moved to a foster home. Her foster family says he is doing very well with both foster mom and dad. She is just an overall sweet dog AND she is housetrained! Proof that outside dogs do well when moved inside a responsible loving home.
Applications are the first step in the adoption process. Please do not call or email simply to express interest. We are all volunteers and receiving your application saves us time and helps to determine the best match for both people and dogs.
We provide as much information as we currently have on each dog in their description. For questions on the adoption process, including fees, please review the Adoption page. If you have additional questions or are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application. Once we receive your application someone will be in touch to answer your questions.
We do not arrange visits to meet dogs without an application. If you'd like to meet a variety of dogs without filling out an application please attend one of our events, listed under the events link.
Thank you!
