Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Big Boy was found abandoned in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, PA and taken to animal control where he was not feeling the love after being dumped by his owner and never reclaimed.
B.B. is a big powerful guy, who knows how to sit for his cookies and take them gently. This fellow is strong on leash, housebroken, well mannered, and just a big baby with a silly side to him.
Big Boy will need an experienced breed owner as he will need a bit of time to bond and trust. We can tell by his behavior in the kennel this boy was at one time a very much cared for house dog as he struggles with kennel life. Once he bonds he is a amazing, happy big boy who will greet you after a long day at work with his silly antics. He is a head tilter! We feel B.B. would do best as an only pet and in an adult-only home due to his size and power.
If you are interested in providing this Akita with a forever home please go to our website at: www.bigeastakitarescue.net and fill out our online adoption application for B.B.
