Just received a phone call, they are in desperate need of someone to foster a broken Akita starting tonight and until they can make other arrangements for him.
I need to figure this out in the next 30 minutes. I would have to keep him separate from Ky and Bentley since all I know is that he's badly abused.
My heart hurts, I need to do some big time praying!

I'll say one for ya....And if you can't do it then for them to find someone who can....good luck...I'll be interested to see what you decide!!!

Tough call especially as you have a young pup around, have you decided what to do yet? x

Have they done a temperament assessment? I have only ever fostered fearful Akita puppies. They are certainly an interested breed.

As a rule I don't let puppies around dogs I am not entirely certain about or that may negatively influence a puppy.

Good luck with your decision!

I just wanted to jump on for a minute to tell you the outcome. I went and met the Akita, he is beautiful! But he's in a bad state. He's an extremely fearful dog, he has every right to be after what he's been through. I spent 3 hours with him and I would have brought him home in a New York minute if I didn't have any dogs.
There's just no way I could bring a dog like that here with Ky and Bentley. My heart told me yes, my head to me NO WAY.
I spent until 6 AM calling everyone I could think of that would be able to handle him, actually that list was pretty short but I did find a man I know that has only had Akita's in the past willing to take him. I'm home, he's safe and I have a turkey to cook LOL
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm glad to hear he's safe, I know that was a very hard, heart wrenching decision you had to make.


Why, why are people so cruel to animals.............


Happy Thanksgiving!

Bravo! Thank you for not only making the right decision for you and your dogs, but also for the rescue boy AND finding him a safe place to go.

Bless you for finding a place for him to go. We can't take all or even most of them in, but we can help them out! Happy Thanksgiving to you! And to Mr. Akita.
