Hello there, My name is Akua and I am currently at the RASKC shelter awaiting a new forever home.
I was surrendered to the shelter by my previous owners. My owners said that I was an amazing boy that was potty trained and did well around other dogs. This was a really hard thing to for them to do, so maybe read about me a bit and see if I might fit your family.
I weigh 60 lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.
I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`, `stay`, `come`, `down` and `shake`.
Once I get to know you I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home or spend hours playing in the yard.
I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.
My previous owners stated that I seem to do well with other large dogs. When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction.
I would do best in a home with older children. I am not the biggest fan of young children as they tend to scare me with their sudden movements, so a family with children 10 and up who are dog savy would be great to match my energy.
I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. Rescue animals require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn.
I have been known to resource guard, meaning that I am displaying behavior that is intended to convince other dogs or humans to stay away from a particular treasure or `resource.` The resource that I tend to guard is food. If you take me home you will benefit from in home guidance to help to manage and improve this behavior. I don`t do this so much with treats, just my meals. So having my meals seperate from everyone and other animals would be the best thing for me so that I feel safe when eating.
You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
The Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.
Come and visit me today, I`d love to go home with you!
