Here's what the humans have to say about me:
While this big boy is new to us and we are getting acquainted, there are some things that are obvious from the get go.
He and his female Shepherd companion found their way into an auto body shop seeking shelter and a cool place in the shade, which they found when they crawled under an old RV. By the looks of them, it seems they had been on their own for awhile. Animal control picked them up, although it wasn't clear if they were picked up together or if they'd become separated at some point. We can only hope she was adopted. Miles has settled nicely into the kennel and is now looking healthy and absolutely stunning! He's a big boy with a gentle nature and a very playful side. He loves attention and will give kisses and offer play bows. He also possesses typical Akita stubbornness and an independent nature. He will require a breed savvy owner, no exceptions. Miles currently weighs about 75 pounds and probably can put on another pound or two. We think he is approximately 5-6 years old.
Stay tuned for more info!
