Riko

Mana

Riko and Mana's Story: Riko and his sister Mana were found abandoned and unclaimed within a Sussex pound. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving their lives. They are both neutered, chipped and fully vaccinated. Riko and Mana came in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting their new families.

If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our Dog Homing Questionnaire. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £300 (£500 for a pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

Riko's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Original referral information:

Urgent Urgent being put to sleep tomorrow 20.8.24: Two Husky x Akitas, 7 years old, brother and sister. Good with people and not really bothered by other dogs.

We took Riko and his sister Mana for a walk around the grounds so they could see the lovely surroundings around the rescue
Riko is the bigger of the two and is a little bit stronger but he walked really well just wanted to keep up with his sister.
We took them in the large paddock and they were very happy to run around and sniff and investigate the different areas.

After they had a good run we called them over to take some pictures, they both sat beautifully and waited there turn for treat no rivalry, they must have been together for a long time.
Rikos coat is very beautiful and he has a very cute face.

Hopefully they will be homed quickly as they would easily fit into a new family

Met this beautiful girl Mana and took around the grounds then into the paddock with her brother
She is gentle on the lead and listens when you speak to her
Mana had a lovely run in the paddock they play beautifully together
Mana can sit on command and takes treats so gently
She is smaller than her brother and has a stunning face and beautiful eyes
I’m pretty sure they will be snapped up quick as they are such a beauties

Our second time with Riko and Mana today and what a lovely pair they are!

We took them in the paddock where they had a good run around. Mana is definitely the more cuddle bug of the pair and loves a close fuss
Riko prefers the odd strokes here and there when he’s not running about exploring.
Riko will gently take treats and eat them on the spot, Mana however takes them away and attempts to bury them rather cute to watch!

Lots of dogs walking around the grounds and past the paddock and just like their original info states, they couldn’t have cared less!

Lovely bonded pair who we are growing quite fond of!

Riko is quite small for an AkitaX, but bigger than his sister.
He is keen to be in front of or next to his sister, but otherwise walks well. He was completely unphased by the horses that passed, interested in RR Selwyn who we followed but probably because he wanted to be in front

Mana is much smaller than you’d expect for an AkitaXHusky. Her and her brother Riko both walk well, they like to be next to each other, bouncing off each other (literally) .
We followed RR Selwyn and she was very unphased. We also passed horses, she made her presence known with a quick short typical Husky vocal, but otherwise, again unphased.

Riko travelled well as did his sister Mana on a long journey to the vets today. He is already neutered but was checked by our Vet and 1st Vaccinated. We did muzzle only because we were playing on the very safe side as neither of us was certain how he would respond to pain: Not a finch when he was injected. Calm, cool and kind!

Mana was checked over by our vets and declared to have been spayed in the past. She as first vaccinationed. What a little Gem she is!

Riko and Mana are a pair of stunners and love to walk together
They are still a little nervous of the harnesses but a bit of bribery with a treat and they are ready to go

Riko is the stronger of the two of them but easily managed
They are so cute together they jostle each other to be in the front
Riko is no problem passing other people and dogs and loves a fuss
Gorgeous boy with a lovely nature

[kazscanlan]

Took this little angel Mana out with her brother Riko for a stroll around the woods
She is a little wary of the harness but a treat or two remedies that

Mana is very interested in squirrels but easily managed and definitely knows her name and listens

Mana is a gorgeous girl with lovely eyes and super soft fur, she has a beautiful gentle nature and in the right home she will bring joy

[megyates]

Riko and Mana are a funny pair to walk. They have lots of personality and enjoy walking together. Riko is usually in the front but sometimes Mana will shoulder-barge him out the way to get to a smell.
I could imagine their characters would fill a home with lots of joy!

Had a lovely long walk with beautiful Mana today through the muddy woods
Mana is a little shy but easy enough to harness and get ready
She is quite spirited when out with her kennel mate Riko but certainly easy enough to manage
I would like to take her out on her own one time to see if she’s any different as they really gravitate towards each other on a walk
Mana is stunning to look at and has a gorgeous fluffy coat (forgot to take pics)
