I am a neutered male & I look like a German Shepherd Dog

The shelter staff think I am 4 years old.

Hi, I’m Akamaru, a 78-pound guy who was surrendered to the shelter when my previous owners could no longer keep me, and I’m finding the shelter environment a bit overwhelming. I’m active and playful but also quiet, independent, and somewhat introverted, and I tend to take my time warming up to new people. I’m gentle, good on a leash, crate trained, house trained, and I know some basic commands, which makes me a pretty easy companion once I’m settled. I’ve lived with other dogs and do well with them, but I don’t have experience with cats and like to chase them along with birds, so a cat-free home would be best for me. I’m protective by nature and would do best in an adult-only home that can give me patience, structure, and consistency so I can feel safe, build trust, and show my loyal side.

Don't I look like the perfect fit for you and your family? Find out how to adopt me by following the steps listed on the Adoptions page.
