Still Looking For Blade.....

A dog we are desperately looking for a Forever Foster home for is.....

Blade is a young adult, neutered male Akita with a lovely calm temperament.  He was found as a stray with his female Akita companion and was brought to the sanctuary some 15 months ago. She has found a wonderful home and we are now seeking the right people for Blade, too.

In kennels, he has been a real gentleman – calm and friendly with everyone he`s met and remaining quiet and steady despite the noise and bustle around him.  He loves his exercise and is quite strong on the lead, but walks nicely on a halti.  He has also been remarkably clean in his kennel.

He has recently been for a weekend ‘sleepover’ with one of the volunteers and behaved absolutely perfectly in the house. He was good with strangers – human and canine, enjoyed his walks and then curled up wherever his floor cushion was put down for him – in all, a pretty laid-back character.

We are looking for a person or couple with a fairly active lifestyle who could provide the exercise and training  needed by a large-breed dog - Akita experience would be particularly welcome. He would probably enjoy having a dog companion but cannot go to a home with young children as we have no history for him.  Most of all, he needs a chance to be important to someone again and receive the love and attention he so obviously deserves.
