Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shelby is a beautiful 4 year old Akita with a sweet temperament. She has been outside in a kennel run the majority of her life, but now that is she getting regular attention, she has no desire to go back to the kennel life.
When first relinquished to us, due to financial hard times of her owners, Shelby enjoyed going for walks several times a day with her caretakers at the kennel and did very nicely on a leash. Shelby has been very good with everyone she has met so far. She will be moved to a foster home with other big dogs soon.
UPDATE: Shelby has now been spayed and is UTD on vaccinations. Shelby has also been moved to a foster home. Her foster family says he is doing very well with both foster mom and dad and their own dogs. She is just an overall sweet dog. AND she is housetrained! Proof that outside dogs do well when moved inside a responsible loving home.
