Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Akira goes by “Aki” most of the time but will answer to both. He requires lots of play time and he loves to go on walks and hikes. He loves dog toys and will need to have plenty of them. He is a big dog that isn’t aware of how big he is, therefore it’s not a good idea to have him around small animals or children. He knows many tricks like: sit, lay down, handshake, touch and almost knows how to roll over! He’s a very smart boy and is so loving! He loves getting pets and belly scratches and will probably want to sleep on the bed with you. (although he’s not allowed) He really is a very good boy and we love him so much but our current living situation is not ideal for him. We feel like we will be doing him a favor by giving him the opportunity to go live with an owner who can give him lots of attention and space. I am crying as I am typing this because this is my baby and I love him so much but he’d be better off with someone who can give him what he needs.
