My Story

Rescued from the Streets of Brooklyn

I'm an akita girl from Brooklyn --who was just wandering the streets all by myself & hanging out in the junkyard. That was until the summer of 2007, NYC Animal Control Officers picked me up. I was in rough shape.. very hungry, dirty, and my fur was full of tar . When they brought me to the NYC Animal Care Center, I didn't like the kennels or the strange people trying to touch me. The evaluator used words like rowdy, severe behavior problems, and blah blah blah. Before I knew it, I was off to live with Bonnie who runs a foster home out in the Berkshires of Western MA. In some cases, they call her when a dog has a hard time being kenneled (guess who?!). Once my picture was posted on Petfinder.com, my mom came to visit me. She was looking for her favorite breed, Akita.. ME.. someone cute.. ME.. a large dog.. ME (shhh i'm more like XL).. someone who could live in an apartment... ME?! Well, long story short, I found a new home in the Metrowest area of Boston, MASS. Whew..life isn't so bad anymore! except now I have a boston & brooklyn accent. fuggeddaboutit!

Slobbers & wags to
the beans who helped save me.
