My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Akiena is a Tamaskan, a new breed in the states 6-7 yrs. For more info goto tamaskan.com. Akiena was being trained to be a service dog until she was diagnosed with moderate Hip Dysplasia I cannot afford to give her the proper medical care she will need or might need in the future. Akiena is very empathetic & gentle overall, she is strong willed & can be stubborn at times. She has been trained in obedience classes both with verbal & hand signals. Her training done at Woof in the Woods.(woofinthewoods.com) She will need a home where she can attach to one person who would be the Alpha over her as she has the pack social instinct like a wolf. She loves to be with her owner all the time, loves affection, has never been left alone in the house. She was born on 3-20-2018 her name given by the breeder is Paige so Paige is her middle name so the certificate for the American Tamaskan Club would be official. I am heart broken to give her up but she dosen't want to be a service dog anymore.
