About Hachi:
Hachi is a super sweet young pup, very sociable, would greet everyone he met with a big smile. He adapted and thrived quickly in foster care; he has become a devoted companion to the humans he bonded with. Being friendly and affectionate, he can easily befriend strangers and kids; also gets along well with dogs. He is food motivated, will wait patiently for his turn at meal time; never fight over food with other dogs. He loves to eat and gets excited before taking a walk, but always heed to command well. His favorite pastime is playing fetch, car riding and his daily walks. Hachi has Shiba Inu’s temperament and appearance in his mixed breed; he will do best for experienced and strong-willed dog owners, Hachi would give 100% of himself to reciprocate.

Hachi’s rescue story:
Hachi was raised since he is a puppy by a factory owner as a watch dog. But his owner hardly paid any attention to him. Around two years old during his puberty, Hachi was once lost, until the rescuer found him as a stray in poor physical condition. Since then, Hachi was neutered and treated for skin problem, followed by foster family’s loving care and training for future adoption.
