Akita Dogs Available for Adoption in Chesapeake, Virginia

Meet Sitka!
This puppy cuteness was found running stray in March by a good Samaritan. He had no collar and no microchip. After following all the local laws and looking for an owner to no avail, he was brought to us.
He is great with adults and other dogs. Due to some suspected mean people in his past, he will need a home without young children.
He is looking for his forever home through our rescue. 💚
