Story
Valerian is an adult (born approx 4.1.17) neutered male Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Story
I got Blu from a woman who was surrendering her to the humane society and i was currently there looking for a puppy. Ive had her since she was a pup and she is so sweet and loving she is 3 years old and full of energy. Shes a big baby ho will lay and lean on you like a baby yorkie forgetting shes a big girl but its all love. Shes adventurous and has a deep love for squeaky toys. i am only giving her up due to landlord issues if not for that id have her forever shes house trained and will bark to let you know she has to use the bathroom. She loves going outside and for walks but sometimes forget shes not leading a pack so practice on side by side walking could help but overall a wonderful joy to have and i just want to find her a loving home where she can be loved on and give her love out
