Story
Nala Renee is a female Akita known for her intelligence and strong-willed nature. Akitas are a Japanese breed characterized by their large size, double coat, and loyal disposition.To ensure Nala Renee thrives, she will require consistent training, mental stimulation, and socialization. She has previously interacted well with teenage children and male dogs but does not get along with other female dogs. If your household includes other dogs or children, arranging a meet-and-greet is essential to ensure compatibility. Her behavior around cats is currently unknown. Regular grooming is necessary due to her constant shedding.

Story
Freddy is my sweet sweet baby. We saved him with intention to fostered him in 2021. I picked him up from a boarded up junkyard when he was about 4 months old. His parents were there- a Siberian husky and American bulldog- they watched us leave. It was heartbreaking. My husband and I are military part time and federal employees full time. Between being gone on military orders and traveling for work; Freddy is just not as happy as he deserves. We don’t crate Freddy although he is crate trained. He has free range of the house and never messes with anything and doesn’t have accidents unless he is sick. Freddy doesn’t bark, he has a cough- although he has accidentally barked before and scared himself. He is very smart. I had him in obedience classes from 4 to 24 months, he always did very well. We continued sessions at parks and stores wifh a trainer where he also did very well. His behavior depends on his mood sometimes he chooses to be more distracted. He’s a great kid loving dog.
