Jupiter

Akita

Female, Adult

Grosse Pointe, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Jupiter is a beautiful, sweet, loving and playful companion. Sadly, her former owner became very ill and is unable to care for her. She is very affectionate, loves attention with lots of cuddles, scratches behind the ears, belly rubs, and enjoys being brushed. She’s well versed with many common commands, such as come, sit, down, stay, leave it, backup, shake, rolls over, which is quite a feat for a large canine lol. Even at five years old, Jupiter has proven over and over to be a fast learner and has adapted quickly to her new surroundings. We’ve been working with her to improve upon her existing recall to come when there’s nearby distractions and walking on a lead without tugging and pulling. She’s making tremendous strides. We’re also in the process of working on her reactivity aggression towards other dogs. Jupiter needs to be in a household with no other dogs or cats.

Murphy is a giant cuddle bug. He is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. He is a 4 year old Akita Lab mix who thinks he is a 100 lbs lap dog!! Murphy came to me a few weeks ago when his owner had to take on more hours at work. We have two dogs already (who he gets along well with) and are not looking to add to our home at this time. Murphy is extremely intelligent and loves to make friends. He is great around all dogs, cats, kids big or little!! He loves to be around people and loves adventures!
