Our sweet girl Emi found forever home ❤️❤️

She was found as a stray covered in fleas and ticks. Emaciated and so scared of the world.

Just a few short weeks and she is becoming a confident young Akita. 

Congratulations to Phil and Erin, thank you for choosing Emi and having the love to work with her.
Happy gotcha day Emi.
Wishing you all many years of happiness. ❤️❤️❤️

Meet Emi- Shes our new foster pup. Emis about 6/7 months old, spayed and fully vaccinated, microchipped and on preventatives. She requires a male dog in the home to teach her about life and help guide her to be more confident. Emi is terrified of humans and very emaciated, she was found covered in fleas and ticks very rashy and missing hair from being infested for so long 💔

💔 She is really smart and sweet and is trying so hard to trust humans- shes already starting to come ask for pets after just a few days of good meals and love. She has had zero potty accidents so far but she is a puppy so she may occasionally. Emi LOVES to sleep in bed with her foster brother Brice ❤️

Emi is located in Willis MI
Please share her and apply if interested at

Welcome SIR
This boy was lost in Detroit and the very kind people at DACC gave him shelter. This boy has had a ruff life. He has a scar from a collar that was too small and big pressure wounds on his elbows as well as some of the worst fly stricken ears.
This boy is decompressing with one of our fosters and will see a vet next week.
We are so happy that the wonderful people at DACC asked us to help.

SIR is completely vetted
Neutered
Chipped
Around 7 years old

Sir will be going to a foster to adopt home some time next week.

Meet AL

Back in August of 22, an Akita gave birth to nine pups we named the alphabet pups. Al was one of these males that were dna'd as 50% Akita and 50% Mountain Cur and was adopted along with his sibling Ed . Fast forward to 2025 and the two males are now three years of age and not cohabiting well together as is common with the breed of Akita and the adopters have reluctantly decided to separate them.

Al is a little shy at first but once he warms up to you he will give kisses, loves belly rubs and loves to share his play time with you. He would do well with older children or a gentle submissive female dog. No small dogs. He does have a high prey drive. Al has been raised within a home and is crate trained and obedience trained.

If you are interested in our Al, please contact Deanna OBrien at [email protected]

**neutered
**UTD on vaccines
**chipped
**on prevention
**crate trained

Al is located Michigan
