AJ (Ajax)-CURRENTLY UP FOR ADOPTION

AJ is a gorgeous healthy young (under one year) old male Akbash in foster care needing adoption! Watch his video!

Casper-CURRENTLY UP FOR ADOPTION

Casper is a one and a half year old male Akbash in Georgia. He is in need of a permanent home. Casper has been with goats as a livestock guardian dog.

Oso- adopted!

Oso is a gorgeous one year old male Akbash/Great Pyrenees cross. He was turned into a small shelter in Colusa, CA. Oso has gone to live with his new family in Oregon.

Konya

Konya is a one year old Akbash that is in need of a permanent home.

Medo is a three year old Male Akbash at the Burlington Animal shelter in Ontario, Canada. I noticed him one day on the Petfinder.com website on page two of the Akbash section. Often there are no dogs on the second page, I am glad I looked because there was Medo (pronounced Meadow).

Lacey-adopted!

Lacey was one of a litter of ten pups found starving on a mountain in Utah...

Thor-adopted

I got word that this young male Akbash was in a shelter in West Virginia needing rescue

One day I got and e-mail from Great Pyrenees rescue about a possible Akbash dog at the Fremont, CA shelter

This young pair of long-coated Akbash were turned into a very crowded shelter in the south

This young Akbash dog Buddy was suffering from a dislocated hip that was not going to be treated.

Shep was the first Akbash dog I worked on in rescue. We were first notified Shep was in a shelter in CA with a firm 72 hour euthanasia deadline!

Titus-adopted

Titus and his two siblings were taken in by a rescue group in Utah after being abandoned on a hill by someone that did not want them. Here he is looking rather sad in his kennel run!

This is Meg, Meg went from a shelter in Wyoming to her new life on a ranch with her goats.

Willie-adopted

Willie was in the pound and 50 pounds underweight. When shelter workers tried to get him up he would not walk leading them to think he must have hip problems and might not be able to be adopted!

Jackson-adopted

One day I saw this sad looking guy on Petfinder! The description was of an Akbash Pyrenees cross. I watched him on Petfinder to make sure someone adopted him! He was in the midwest at an equine sanctuary. "Timber" ended up in rescue after his mother was shot by their owner...
