BEAR: THE AKITA 

If interested contact Jonathan Evans 540-521-1944

This ancient Japanese breed has been venerated as family protectors and are famous for their dignity, loyalty and courage.Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs.  Although wary of strangers,Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love.  (AKC breed description)

Bear’s personality is true to his breed.  He is 4 years old and was very attached to his former family until unforeseen and difficult circumstances made it impossible for his welfare to stay in their home. I am his current foster and have owned Akitas for years. 

Ideally, Bear would thrive with a family that has experience with breeds of his type and who have the time and patience to bring out the best in him.   Due to his size and weight, a home with older, responsible children would be preferred.  He likes cats and gets along with other non-dominant dogs. A fenced in yard where he can stretch his legs would be necessary and beneficial to his welfare. 

He has been neutered, vaccinated, has a current negative heart worm test, and is on heartworm and flea preventative. There will be an adoption fee.  We are located in Statesville, NC.  Please contact me to get more information about Bear by texting me with your name and phone number.
