Well, everyone is playing a little bit of catch up with me.  I'm Apache and I came into rescue in Oklahoma in June but they didn't have a lot of details about my last home except that it was "a good home" .. certainly not to be confused with a "forever home" which would have been a great thing for me.  So, I'm a handsome fella, self assured and ready to be your best forever buddy.

Snow Flake is a lovely old style Akita -- heavy boned with a big bear head.  All white, it's easy to think someone seeing her in the woods might think she was a polar bear cub on vacation in Colorado.  Snow Flake likes adults and well mannered children.  She is cordial with other animals when properly introduced.  She is housebroken and crate trained.  Her first owner died unexpectedly following a short illness, leaving Snow Flake alone, unwanted and facing death in an overcrowded shelter.

I 'm Buddy and I'm a big friendly guy who wonders what it would be like to have a home with people to love me and teach me stuff and take me for walks.   I'm from Cabool Missouri and my family just kept me on a chain and pretty much ignored me until the day they decided they didn't want a dog.  Then they took me to the shelter and left me -- that shelter still euthanizes unwanted animals using a gas chamber, and I don't mind telling you I was pretty worried about what would happen to me since nobody had ever cared before.

I am good with other dogs and I like well mannered children.  I'm not real sure about the whole cat thing, but I really always try to please people.  Can you come visit me?  I get so happy when I have visitors.

One of the most endearing things about a rescue Akita is they truly do know that this is their second chance, and they appreciate it.  Molly hasn't had an easy life and she is especially appreciative of the kindnesses she receives.
