Story
I'm Akita/husky mix breed: adventure-seeking, loyal, and smart are central to my personality. I am dignified, reflecting my Japanese heritage, but I do have a cute trot that reflects my silly side when walking with my family. Speaking of my family, my devotion is legit. I would defend them fiercely against park squirrels, scary trash bags, and strangers who ring the doorbell. I'm calmer with strangers when my male owner is present than absent cause my job is, after all, to protect my female owner and the baby in the house when he isn't acting as alpha. I'm intelligent and learn FAST when food is involved. One ten min walk a day is enough activity for me as long as my home life is structured and I can interact w/ my humans a few times a day. 2yr old Indoor or outdoor dog Basic commands: sit, stay, lay, shake, potty Kennel trained Swims 4ft vertical Tiny scratch on lens of left eye -otherwise fine physical condition Comes with food, leash, kennel, brush, nail clipper, gentle leader, etc

Story
Rowan looks like he has been through alot and we would like to find him a home where he will be loved and cherished. He came into the shelter with some pretty severe lacerations or possibly tied up with a cable that infected his neck. He is doing much better now and has healed up about 90%. He has been neutered and up to date on all shots. Rowan is dog selective so either needs to be the only dog in the home or we can do a meet and greet to see how he does with your dog. Please consider adopting Rowan!!! He deserves to get out of the shelter and start a good life.
