Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Brom is an adult (born approx 4-23-09) male, neutered Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.
Brom comes to us from Chatanooga, TN where he was found running stray. Only he can tell the tale of where he has been and what he has seen, but he refuses to speak of it. The marks of a rough past can still be found though... healed fly strike on his ears and the heartworms he's being treated for suggest he lived outside. A dislocated elbow that was never attended to, a scar on his forearm, and what appears to be a BB, all in the same leg, attest to lack of care in his youth. His elbow has healed and our doctors tell us that there's nothing that can be done for it. He does walk with a limp, but it doesn't seem to hurt him at all and it definitely doesn't slow him down!
This wonderful boy loves people, is super social with other dogs, and even passed being cat tested! He regularly goes to doggy daycare. This amazing guy would love a home with the right large female dog to play with, and could live with kids and cats.
