Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Morel is a great big handsome Akita who is looking for a loving forever family to call his own! Morel was part of an "oops" litter who came to us with his brother at 11 months of age. We were told he is 50% Akita Inu (Japanese Akita) and 50% American Akita. We think he is 100% a good boy. Morel is a big goofball who loves to romp, run, and play! This handsome boy needs a bit of work on his manners as he was never properly trained or taught as a puppy. We think he would thrive in a home that can provide him with structure, gentle guidance, as well as plenty of exercise and enrichment. We think Morel would benefit greatly from a couple of lessons with a professional positive dog trainer to help him learn the basics and to form a strong bond with his new owner. Morel has done well around other friendly large dogs, but as he has shown some mild prey drive behaviors we do not think he would be a good fit for a home with small dogs or cats. Morel loves to run and play with his pals, but he does not appreciate rude or pushy dogs very much (who can blame him?) Morel has so much potential to be an amazing companion dog for the right person. He is happy-go-lucky, bouncy, and oh so silly! If you are looking for a friendly, outgoing, and fun-loving fluff ball, Morel might be your guy!
