Bruno went to one of our wonderful foster homes on Thursday Dec. 4 He is a great dog, but was afraid to go up the two flights of outside apt stairs and was timid to go into the car. Once Bruno gets in the car, he lays his head on your lap and off you go.  Please come look at this gentle baby. He really did not care for the cats when we cat tested him and would prefer a home without feline friends.


Bruno came to us from a shelter where he was the victim of a cruelty case. A collar had grown into his neck causing serious injury and needing surgery. He's healing now and he has such a outgoing personality you would never know he came from such a desperate situation.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Akita is native to the island of Honshu in the region of Akita in Japan, where it has remained unchanged for centuries. Today, the Akita is considered the national dog of Japan and is designated as a Natural Monument. The breed has had many uses, first as an Imperial guard dog, then as a fighting dog, hunter of deer and bear, for sledding, and for police, army and guard work. The Akita has keen hunting abilities and can even hunt in deep snow. He has a soft mouth, so he is suitable for waterfowl retrieval. In Japan, small statues of the Akita are often sent to ill people to express a wish for their speedy recovery, and to parents of newborn children to symbolize health. The first Akita was brought to the USA by Helen Keller. American servicemen also brought Akitas to the US after World War II. The Akita is docile, but sometimes spontaneous. Careful and very affectionate with its family. Intelligent, courageous and fearless. It is very willful and needs firm training as a puppy. The Akita is a first class guard dog. Japanese mothers would often leave their children in the family Akita's care. They are extremely faithful and thrive on companionship.  The Akita needs to be with its family. It vocalizes with many interesting sounds, but it is not an excessive barker. It has an expected life span of 10-12 years.
