Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nick is an extra large adult male Akita who was found roadside out on Long Island NY with most of his Akita coat missing and very thin. He was taken to the local shelter and that is where we stepped in.
We have learned that Nick minds well, ignores most other dogs, and loves to wooo-wooo to you when he first greets you in the morning. Nick is looking for an Akita experienced home with older children (12 years +) who know how to respect the Akita breed. Please no cats for Nick. It is possible that Nick could live with the right female dog so a meet and greet would be needed.
Nick is a gentle giant who is eager to please and will give his heart to the family he loves! If you’re interested in meeting Nick please fill out the
