My story

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

Romo is a people oriented Akita who`s a joy to be around. A surprising mixture
of exuberance and gentility, he plays well with other dogs, is motivated by
attention and compliments rather than treats. He isn`t a barker or biter and
loves to go on walks and adventures. He thinks zoomies in the backyard are
a gas and he would be a great addition to a family wth outdoor space.

It`s charming how he`ll bring your slippers and cushions to you without
damaging them in any way. He`ll even lick them clean for you! He knows
not to climb on furniture. His greatest pleasure is being near peole. He`s
improving his leash skills and does well with someone who has upper
body strength to contain his enthusiasm about checking out patches of
clover and grass. Taking him for walk at the shelter won`t show his
multiple attributes. He shines in a home setting. He lovers to have
his chin scratched and sometimes even his belly. His ears and back,
not so much and he`ll let you know by licking your arm.

Romo`s goal in life is to be a devoted companion to some lucky family.
