Story
Fiona and Zeus were surrendered to TJO after their owner had unfortunately passed away. They are a bonded pair, so they are much more comfortable together than apart. They can be a bit avoidant at first, but warm up more once they're comfortable. Fiona is quicker to warm up than Zeus, but they're both still fairly distant and would often rather keep to themselves than curl up and cuddle on the couch. Someone who has experience with owning akitas would be ideal for them.OTHER PETS: Zeus and Fiona initially came in with an older small dog, so it's likely that they would get along with other dogs. Because of their own energy levels, though, they would likely do best with another calm dog who won't be jumping all over them. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: While Zeus and Fiona are calm together, someone familiar with owning akitas as a breed would be ideal for them.[Some Experience]KIDS: Zeus and Fiona are fairly aloof dogs, and so older kids who have experience with dogs and understand when to give them their own space would be ideal. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Fiona and Zeus are calm dogs, but they would greatly benefit from daily walks and various forms of mental enrichment to keep their minds busy. They can both be quite vocal when left alone as well-- Zeus more than Fiona. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: Fiona and Zeus are older dogs, so a good relationship with a vet will be important to help them age gracefully. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Fiona and Zeus not only learn their basic cues, but also help them to feel more comfortable and confident while they adjust. It will provide a good opportunity for them to bond with their new owner too! [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to reduce shedding in the home, as well as prevent any knots or matts from forming. They may also require scheduled appointments with a professional groomer due to their double coat, especially if they develop any matts.
