Adopt Kazu

Akita · Unknown · Puppy · 8 months

Kazu is an 8 month old male Japanese Akita Inu who is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. Sadly, he is a prime example of what can happen when a puppy does not receive the time, effort, socialisation and training needed from day one. This is such a shame, as Kazu is a really lovely young dog who genuinely wants to please and learn. Like many adolescent pups, Kazu can be quite boisterous and currently lacks some basic manners. With the right guidance, this is something that can absolutely be improved. He needs an owner who will provide firm but fair boundaries and help him learn the rules of being a well balanced and polite Akita Inu boy. Someone willing to invest the time, patience, and consistent training into Kazu will help him flourish and truly fulfil his breed potential. Due to his lively and boisterous nature, Kazu would be best suited to a home with dog savvy children aged 12 years and over. An active and reasonably fit owner would also suit him well, as he will benefit from regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Kazu would not be suited to living in a flat, and would do best in a home with appropriate space and a secure garden with 6ft fencing where he can relax and continue to learn about the world at his own pace. Kazu will need to be the only pet in the home. He has shown a tendency to chase cats and did not get along with the resident male dog in his previous home. He can also be reactive towards other dogs, so ongoing management and training will be important. This handsome young boy has a lot of potential and a lot of love to give. In the right home, with the right guidance and commitment, Kazu could grow into a wonderful companion and a wonderful representative of his breed. If you feel you could offer Kazu the dedicated home he deserves, we would love to hear from you.
