Story
I got Mako from a Akita breeder in LA when I was 18. he was my dream dog, I selected him out of about 5 other Akita's, he was the 2nd brindle one. He is 9 years old now and is healthy. he gets a lot of flies on his ears in summer and requires frequent cleaning to avoid infection. he does very well on walks. always hiked with smaller dogs (shitzus) and larger dogs (german shepard) when he eats it's never a problem. He is a sweet boy that knows how to sit, lay down, shake, stay and waits for his food until given a release. I wish I could take care of him until the end. He loves cuddles and face licks. If he really likes you he rubs his body onto you like a cat does. When he was a puppy I would take him on hikes and he would get tired so I would carry him. Now he enjoys being lifted onto my lap for quality time. he occasionally will sleep inside the house when there is too much going on outside like 4th of july, new years, other holidays. he never destroyed furniture or clothing.

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environment.
