Meet Hatchi!
Hatchi is a majestic 90-pound young adult Akita/Siberian Husky mix with a handsome tricolor coat and a loyal, tender heart. He's an oversized teddy bear who is still adjusting to life with only one working eye due to stabilized glaucoma. While he may see shadows, sudden movements can startle him, especially during walks, so he thrives with a confident, experienced caregiver who can help him feel grounded and secure. Hatchi is strong on leash and reactive to dogs, cats, bikes, and cars that pass by, requiring someone comfortable working with large breeds who understands the power of positive reinforcement and patient training.
Despite his reactivity, 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 would not be compatible with cats.
Ideal Home
Hatchi needs a confident, experienced caregiver who can help him feel grounded and secure. A fenced yard is essential for his safety due to his Husky instincts and natural curiosity. He would not be compatible with cats.
Ongoing Health
Hatchi has stabilized glaucoma in one eye and will need to receive eye drops for the rest of his life. Thankfully, his love of treats makes this task manageable. He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.
