Machika

Machika is a sweet Akita mix, about 2-3 years old and weighing 53 lbs. She’s calm, loving, and truly enjoys the simple joys of life—walks on a leash, relaxing car rides as the perfect co-pilot, and running freely in the garden with her doggy friends. She can be a little selective with other dogs and does best in a cat-free home, but she’s always eager to share her gentle nature with people. Machika’s past was not easy—she spent much of her life on the streets, facing cold nights and even abuse. Thanks to kind neighbors, she began receiving food and care, and eventually, she was rescued. Despite everything she endured, Machika blossomed into a trusting, affectionate dog who longs for human companionship. She was once abandoned at some offices where people fed her, but what Machika truly deserves is much more: a real home, filled with love and security, where she’ll never again feel loneliness or fear. Machika is ready to be the loyal, loving companion you’ve been searching for! Please remember that our rescued dogs may require an adjustment period. Patience and understanding are crucial as they learn to trust and adapt to their new surroundings.

Ideal Home

A home with a tall, fenced backyard. An active family that enjoys outdoor activities, with a genuine intention to rescue a dog and an open conscience about the needs and behaviors of street animals. Families with experience in dog behavior and training, or a willingness to hire a trainer, are preferred. High tolerance and patience for rescued animals are also essential. Machika does best in a cat-free home.

Ongoing Health

Machika has received spay/neuter, two DHPPI vaccines, a rabies vaccine, a Bordetella vaccine, deworming, and is microchipped. She also tested negative for heartworm and 4DX, and receives monthly Nexgard Spectra for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. A health certificate and vaccination booklet are available. Please note that rescued animals may not be house-trained.

Training & Support

Machika is not house-trained and will require patience and consistency in training. We understand that our rescued pets may have experienced trauma and need time to adjust. Patience, understanding, a safe and loving environment, and establishing a routine are key to helping Machika feel secure and build trust.
