Size

Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Story
Meet Kibo! Kibo came to us along with his mom and brother as strays. We aren't sure how this furry family ended up on the streets, but Kibo is ready for a fresh start! Kibo can take some time to open up with strangers, but he is hoping you'll see past his tough exterior to the silly pup we know he is. He seems to already know some basic skills like "sit", and his ideal home will continue training to set him up for success. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Kibo home. If you are interested in meeting Kibo, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.
