Bonded Pair Taka and Tori

The bonded pair of shibas, Taka and Tori, listed earlier have found a new home in Northern California. Things seem to be working well and they are fitting in nicely. The family admits that keeping them together has shown the ease in their adaptation into the new family. Both dogs are happy and calm while they learn the new routine and family. There still is a lot of adjustment for the family and the shiba pair but it all looks good.

Ice Cream Social with the Akita Club

Invitation from
Squaw Peak Akita Club

All:
We are planning a meeting and old fashion Ice Cream Social. All are welcome to come.
Bring a topping that you would like to share, and the club will provide the ice cream.
We hope to find a speaker on Bloat because there is some new info out there on it, what causes it, how to try to prevent it. But one that promised they would come backed out and we are trying to find another. If no speaker, we will have some of our members update us on some of their accomplishments in the performance world -- BRAGS!! -- Rally, Obedience, Agility, Carting to name a few along with some of the challenges involved in training an Akita.

Little Boy Kai is looking for a home

Unfortunately, Kai has returned to foster care. He could not adjust to pack life with another alpha male. So we are now looking for a home where he can be the only dog and center of attention.
He is an approximately 2 year old Red Shiba Inu with a zest for life. He is a small male weighing in at just 14 pounds and about 14 inches tall. He can get along with confident and dog savvy cats. If the cats run from him he will chase them as he sees it as a game.
Kai was originally surrendered when a new toddler came into the home. Since he is small he will not be placed in a home with children under the age of 10.
Kai is an enjoyable and energetic dog. He likes meeting people and playing with his toys. He is leash trained, housebroken, current on his shots, microchipped, heartworm tested and recently health checked. He's just waiting for a family to help him become the great dog that is inside him.
