My story

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


I have had Akela since he was 10 weeks old, he just celebrated his 6th birthday 01/06/26. He loves to play fetch and anything to do with toys is his favorite thing in the world. He is great with people but absolutely cannot be around other dogs. I did slowly acclimate him to my ex boyfriends female dog and they got along well and live together for almost 3 years no issues. He would do great in a home with a fenced backyard and no other pets. He hasn’t been around children much and while I believe he would be fine, he doesnt enjoy being hugged on or poked/prodded so a house without children would probably suit him best. He is a very sweet dog and just loves playing and being outside but because he cannot be around other dogs and I do not have a yard for him, with his high energy level it is hard for me to give him the life he deserves. I am willing to drive him however far I need to, as long as I know he is going to a good home where he will be loved and well taken care of.
