Teddy (Animal ID: A070140) is a neutered male, charcoal gray Akita believed to be about 11 months old.
He is currently at a foster home, but the foster is unable to keep him anymore and there is no space for him to come back to the shelter. While at his foster home, he has been crate trained, potty trained,
learned to use a doggie dog, and has learned to live with three other dogs.
He also successfully graduated from PetSmart’s 6-week basic training and knows sit, down, leave it, shake, and other simple commands. He loves to go for walks and go for car rides. Common to his breed, he does resource guard and can be destructive when left alone for too long. He is still a puppy, learning discipline and routine, and how to be a dog. An adopter that has experience with the Akita breed would be best for Teddy.
Our vet tech at the shelter reported that Teddy's overall health is pristine. He is a very healthy 11 month old puppy that is neutered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all of his vaccines. There are no concerns regarding his health at this time.
Here’s some additional information about Teddy from his foster Mom:
• He burns out pretty easy on walks, so he won't necessarily need an extremely active owner. He does enjoy hiking and running though so he could build up his stamina.
• He listens extremely well. If told "no" or "to stop," he will listen the first time.
• She is currently working with him on resource guarding. As a puppy, this tends to get him in trouble with the older dogs.
• He doesn't try to door dash and is overall very well behaved.
• He loves to go on car rides.
• He will need someone with a plan for what to do with him if they don't have someone at home all the time. He currently lives in a foster home where someone is present 24/7.
• Overall, he needs someone that is prepared for a puppy and familiar with the Akita breed.

TikiHut Akita Rescue Association (TARA) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, animal welfare and education organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of orphaned Akitas and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California.
Our group is comprised of volunteers, enthusiasts and foster homes. The members in our organization have come together because of the passion we share for the Akita breed. Our breed is respected and treated as royalty in their native Japan, but here in this country, so many of them sit alone in the local shelters, waiting to die. Each of our members (and their families), work tirelessly to save the many Akitas that end up in these shelters.
In addition to finding new homes and families for these wonderful dogs, we also dedicate our efforts to educating the public about the breed, including but not limited to, the importance of spaying and neutering, proper nutrition, behavior and training information and the genetic issues plaguing our breed.
Each Akita we bring into our program undergoes a thorough health exam, is spayed or neutered, brought up to date medically, and is worked with for basic obedience and socialization. We crate train all our pups and put them through basic puppy classes. All our dogs are microchipped before they are adopted.
The Akitas we take in come from all walks of life. Some have been abused and neglected and some have come from well known breeders. It is a huge misconception that all dogs that come from rescue are all problem dogs. We have seen some of the most wonderfully tempered Akitas come out of these shelters and we hope we can give many more a second chance at the life they never had.
