I hope you will come to see me as I have some really good news to share. I was recently fostered by a lovely lady who taught me so much and made me really appreciate the human touch. She gave me a dog bed and I love it – of course the couch is nice too! I also love to go on walks and can easily manage 2+ miles.
I’m leaning how to behave with other dogs and I like them for the most part. I walk on a leash ”like a show dog” and go where you lead me. Note to new owner - Keep her on leash as she is still a hound and sometimes those hound tendencies will kick in. I am a self-taught girl…..I know I need to go outside to “do business” and I have excellent manners. I like road trips to different places and will make an excellent companion for you and your family. Now that I have had the wonderful experience of living with a human that loves me, I am so ready for my forever home as I want my own family and want to share my love with you. Remember though that living in a nice home and human affection is still new to me so I may need a little time to adjust. If you give me the chance I will make you so proud and I will be your best friend forever.

Spayed on 2/18/2
I am very affectionate although still a little shy. I am still very young but probably will not get much larger. I really like a clean kennel and try to wait for volunteers to take me out to do my business. I am a gentle soul with no aggression. I do look forward to personal training. I need help learning that loud noises are ok most of the time. I get along well with other dogs and really look forward to my forever home.

The first thing people comment on is my smooth sable coat intermixed with white fur. I count myself as handsome but I’m also known for my sweet disposition. I’m very friendly and would like to be with you as much as possible. I’m not yet leash trained – that is something I’m working on along with other good dog behaviors. I’m good with some dogs, but not all and I definitely shouldn’t be left in an area with any fowl (me and chickens don’t get along…). I need my forever home and am hoping you can help me with that. I’m getting neutered on February 24, 2021 and then I can go home with you and be your loving loyal companion. Please come meet me. I promise you hugs and kisses!

Predominant Breed: German Shepherd/Akita
Color: Black and White

Will be neutered on 3/2/21
My name is Yasei which is Japanese for “Wild”. I was given this name from my previous owner and I still have a lot of “wild ” puppy behaviors but I love everyone and have such a sweet friendly nature. I have lots of energy and you’ll always find me happy to see you. I look a little like a German Shepherd but my behavior is more like a Lab. I need an active owner/family who will enjoy spending time with me and can take me to all kinds of adventures. I have learned the “sit” command and I am doing extremely well working on manners but I will need further training. I will steal your heart in about 2 minutes – I’m a real “leaner” as when I stand next to you, I like to lean into you and just melt into your feet. Please come meet me and offer me a forever home and I will be your loyal and loving companion for the rest of our lives together. I promise!

My intent gaze says it all. I am looking for a love connection and giving it much thought. I crave attention and one on one time. I get so excited when I go out for playtime that sometimes I need an extra minute or two to calm my enthusiasm. Once I am outside in the play yard I am an explorer, taking in all the wonderful smells only a dog play yard could have. I’m a physical boy that is actually marvelous on a leash once I realize one of my favorite people is tethered along to me! I am not a puller usually, more prone to meandering along, enjoying the sights. With toys, I can be possessive so I’m not a good fit for young children that might take something from my mouth. I am so enthused about taking treats I need to learn not to be grabby. I enjoys sturdy chew toys and am thrilled to get a kong with peanut butter. I would not feel comfortable living with another large, male dog if they have a dominant personality. I have so much love to give that I can barely contain myself. I am waiting with bated breath for my very own best human buddy.

I am very young and alert and have a ton of energy. You really need to meet me to appreciate all that I can be. I enjoy being around other dogs my own size (or smaller – ok, I’m a little short). My preference, though, is humans – I really like people. I am super friendly and happiest when I’m the center of attention. I’m in search of a forever home where I can be the star and have your undivided focus to love on me most of the time. Please come meet me soon, I don’t think I’ll be in the shelter for long (I hope!)

I have tons of energy and am very bright. I definitely want to be around you – I’ll even participate in the conversation if you allow. I’m affectionate, give kisses, know how to “sit” and give my paw. I walk well on a lead. I will benefit from training as I need to learn manners and good behavior but since I’m smart, I should learn pretty fast. I am dog selective – I like the girl canines but not so much the male dogs. Maybe it’s the competition although I’m newly altered so we’ll see if my behavior changes, although I doubt it since I’ve always had an eye for the ladies!
