Meet Zeke! This 3-year-old boy is true to his breed-the American Akita. You have to earn it with this one, especially if you are a male. There are no free passes. No immediate friendship. You cannot win him over with belly rubs. In the beginning, you will need to respect his space. He IS food-motivated, so feeding and watering him, along with daily walks, will quickly earn you a space in his heart.
He was purchased (along with Zoey) by bark yard breeders, but he wanted nothing to do with their plan; therefore, the pair were dumped at a North Carolina kill shelter.
I believe in this boy. I believe that he can make a wonderful, loving, protective companion for whomever chooses him, but they MUST be experienced with the breed. Zeke will be completely vetted before leaving our rescue, and will personally be delivered by me to make sure that his first intros to his new family go smoothly.
Adoption fee includes transport to the midwest, northeast, or southeast.
