Akita Rescue

Meet Momo, a gentle and loving cuddle bear who has triumphed over incredibly challenging circumstances to find his way into our care. Momo is a 5-6-year-old male American Akita who has been neutered, is up to date on his vaccinations, and has received thorough veterinary attention.

Sadly, Momo’s past has left visible scars. He was left alone for long stretches in a crate, leading to heartbreaking pressure sores and leaving him alarmingly underweight at just 18 kg. This precious boy has faced the struggles of malnutrition and dehydration, which have also taken a toll on his skin and coat. Despite these challenges, Momo’s spirit shines through, and he will be ready for a loving home where he can loved and cherished soon. 

During his time with us, he has begun to regain strength and weight thanks to a high-protein diet tailored to his needs. Although the road to complete recovery is still long, Momo's journey is filled with hope. With a lovable and gentle temperament, he thrives on human companionship. While he is tolerant of some dogs, he can be reactive to others, especially when feeling agitated. Currently, he is undergoing rehabilitation training to develop anxiety coping skills, and we are already seeing positive strides. Although he isn’t ready for adoption yet, we envision a bright future for him in a home without small or dominant dogs, ideally as the only pet, where he can continue to flourish. He has a wonderful rapport with kids and is ready to bring joy to a special family.

 Pepper, a 3.5-year-old girl who is a complete cuddle bug and great dogy kisser. Pepper is up to date on all her vetting and vaccinations (DHPP, Rabies and Bordetella, dewormed) microchipped. She also had been spayed. Pepper has clean bill of health and no health concerns.

Pepper is really adorable with humans. She's an extraordinary dog, playful but with a slippery temperament, and very affectionate. However, she can get into confrontations with other dogs and she has a lot on prey drive on small animals so she must be the only animal in the house.

She is house trained, leash trained, crate trained, with solid basic obedience knowledge, non-anxious and not destructive or excessively vocal”.
