Meet Hatchi!
Hatchi is a soulful young adult Akita/Siberian Husky mix with a majestic tricolor coat and a loyal, tender heart. This 90-pound oversized teddy bear is still adjusting to life with only one working eye due to stabilized glaucoma. While he sees shadows, sudden movements can startle him, especially during walks. He is strong on leash and reactive to dogs, cats, bikes, and cars that pass by. Despite these challenges, Hatchi is a sweet, snuggly companion at heart who melts into affection and is eager to please, especially with treats! This intelligent boy responds to his name, is crate trained, house-trained, and has lived harmoniously with young children aged 7 and 8. He may do well with a calm, female dog companion but is not compatible with cats. Hatchi is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and he's ready to embark on a new chapter filled with love, structure, and confidence-building.
