This big guy (115 pounds) loves to play! Mel was left at a NJ shelter after his owner was moving. Mel will need a breed experienced owner, one that also has the physical strength to handle a big bouncy juvenile male. Mel knows some basic commands and is food motivated. Mel has been fully vetted and would do best in a large securely fenced in back yard where he can get plenty of exercise. While living at BEAR, Mel has made friends with two of our females! He is playful with both females however he will not tolerate a male dog in his space. It is best that he not be placed with small animals or small children, as he is big and bouncy and could knock over a small child or an older person.

Kain was found during the hurricane in Texas in terrible condition. That has since changed . Kain has gained some much needed weight however we could not get his skin to clear up , Upon further testing it showed us Kain had a low thyroid and SA confirmed by skin biopsy . SA is a auto immune disease that does show up in the akita breed. It is very manageable and requires low doses of prednisone and oil baths. The low thyroid pretty much goes hand in hand with a auto immune problem and is managed on a inexpensive thyroid medication given daily for life. We at BEAR felt this akita is exceptional in temperament, he is friendly, loves people does well around other dogs and is so very grateful for walks, good food and being loved. We felt in our hearts due to him being such a sweet fellow he deserved as much as a chance as possible. Do you have a heart big enough to take on a special needs pup like our Kain ?
