Neiko, a regal Akita with a soul full of sunshine, has been waiting for his forever family for over five years. While the circumstances of his owner surrender remain a mystery, Neiko's spirit remains unbowed. This playful senior is a walking contradiction: wise and experienced yet bursting with youthful energy. He adores car rides with the windows down, the wind ruffling his fur, and wouldn't dream of missing out on a scoop of dog-friendly ice cream (it's practically a tradition!). A champ on walks, Neiko would happily explore new trails with you by his side. Neiko is a favorite among volunteers and enjoys outings with them. He is such a great dog with big love and big personality. He deserves a home of his own! Neiko came to Saving Grace in November 2018. He was found wandering the streets and his owner didn't want him back when Lubbock Animal Services contacted them. He has a gorgeous brindle coat that makes him look so handsome and unique! He is the biggest, sweetest fluff ball you will ever meet! Neiko holds his toys in his mouth and dances around on his back legs when he's happy - which is all the time.
Ideal Home
Neiko would thrive in a home where he can be the sole focus of his human's affection. He isn't a fan of other furry friends, so a home without other pets is ideal for him.
Ongoing Health
Neiko is now a senior boy, approximately 11-12 years old and weighing 100lbs. He gets yearly bloodwork checks, and all have been fantastic. He also recently completed a much-needed dental cleaning.
Training & Support
Neiko is a well-loved and happy dog who enjoys life. While no specific training needs are mentioned, he is a senior dog who will benefit from a patient and loving environment.
