Story
Need to find a home for our newest Beagle mix. He is very sweet but is too high energy for our home. We have two other Beagles that are much more low energy, and they all get along very well. We have a 1-year old and a baby on the way and we don’t have time to give him all the attention he needs. He loves to play fetch and he loves to cuddle and lick faces too.

Story
Took him from a shelter where he was going to be euthanized for his fear aggression of men. I saw potential for growth and improvement for his fear. I now have him at my home where I have contacted a personal trainer to help with his behavior. Loper is 5 years old, 76 pounds and is on a sensitive skin and stomach diet, and hip and joint supplements for his hip dysplasia and gabapentin. The vet does not see any problems at this time for his hips. Loper will need someone with experience in Akitas or knowledge. He is very smart and loves attention on his own terms. He has met dogs through a fence and seems ok. But has not met face to face. Loper is very sweet, tolerant, smart. He is crate trained and asks to go potty. He has medium energy. He loves walks and explore new smells, loves squeaky toys and chewing on chicken flavored nylabones. He will follow you around the house where ever you go. He needs to find his forever with someone you keeps up with his training.
