Hachiko came to the shelter as a stray after being found wandering, and his past remains a bit of a mystery. From the start, he has shown himself to be calm, composed, and quietly social. He tends to observe his surroundings first, then approaches people on his own terms, accepting pets and attention with a neutral, steady demeanor. Hachiko has a thoughtful presence and prefers respectful interactions rather than constant handling.
My Ideal Home
Hachiko would do best in a calm, experienced home that understands independent, sensitive dogs. He thrives with adopters who can move at his pace, respect his boundaries, and allow him to initiate interactions. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and positive, low-pressure training will help him feel secure. Mental enrichment and daily walks are important to keep him balanced and engaged.
Good with Kids?
No young children. Hachiko prefers calm, predictable interactions and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect his space.
Good with Other Pets?
Hachiko's history with other animals is unknown. In shelter observations, he has shown interest in other dogs and can become overstimulated, particularly during introductions. Careful management and slow, structured introductions would be essential in any multi-dog home. His history with cats is unknown.
Leash Manners
Hachiko walks politely on leash with little to no pulling. He may move slowly at times and prefers calm, low-pressure walks where he can observe and sniff without being rushed.
Overall Health
Recovering from CIRDC.
Behavior Determination
Level 2 - Hachiko is generally easy to handle but can be fearful or anxious in new situations. He benefits from slow introductions, choice-based interactions, and a low-stress environment to build confidence.
Other Fun Facts
Hachiko enjoys leaning in for gentle pets, taking treats politely, and quietly spending time near his people. He's not overly toy-driven and prefers calm companionship. Once he feels comfortable, his steady, loyal nature really shines through
