Here's what the humans have to say about me:
3-11-049 Mercedes - female, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, altered, dewormed, tx flea preventative, heartworm tested (-), 6yr, 71lbs, Akita.
Mercedes isn’t your average Akita! She is super sweet and friendly with everyone she meets, she gets along well with other dogs and loves to play with other big dogs – little to no interest in smaller dogs, she is good with respectful children of any age, we have not had her around cats. She is very good natured, fun, bouncy and active. She loves to be with people, she loves attention from any one and doesn’t mind being brushed either. Mercedes is crate trained and house trained, she is fine left alone for typical 9-5 work hours. She is clean, quiet and well mannered in the home. She is a big dog with a big bark when people come to the door but she is all tail wags and kisses when people enter. Though her bark is loud enough to scare off intruders she’d probably invite strangers in for tea if she could so not a great guard dog… She loves to be outside as long as she has another doggy friend to play with or people to keep her company, she isn’t the kind of girl who likes to stay outside for long periods on her own. She seems to love the snow but prefers to just “do her thing” and come inside when it’s rainy. She needs a good brisk walk each day and would love play time at the doggy parks too. She’d be a great second dog or the only dog. Mercedes is best suited to a house with a fenced yard. She’s a a great girl and is sure to win the hearts of those familiar with the Akita breed and those just looking for a pretty, social, loyal companion. Her photos don’t do her justice, come out and meet this beauty today!
