Akela is a lovable, big teddy bear of a dog, with a heart as massive as his blocky head. He may look huge, but he is actually just a short & stocky boy, barely knee-high. This handsome hunk lives for snuggles and attention - if you're petting him, you're his favorite person. Ear scratches, tummy rubs, bear hugs, kisses - he'll take whatever kind of affection you're willing to give. Akela's top love languages are definitely words of affirmation and physical touch. He is the perfect low maintenance dog for anyone who works long hours or anyone who is just looking for a cuddle buddy, rather than a running buddy. Akela is perfectly crate trained and has no problem snoozing the day away while you're at work. After a long day of being in his crate, he loves to go on a sniffy walk around the neighborhood before eating his dinner and promptly falling back asleep. Akela enjoys sunbathing in the backyard as well as relaxing with his favorite people on the couch. He will contentedly lay by your feet and chew his favorite bone, no matter what you're up to. Akela prefers to explore nature quietly, rather than hanging out in busy, crowded public places. He is wonderful with children and loves humans of all ages. He is especially patient with small children who like to be very hands-on with their doggie friends. Akela is a perfect gentleman in the car and just looks out the front window as you drive and enjoys the scenery. Another perk to adopting Akela is that he is 100% house trained, so you won't have to worry about any potty training with him.
Ideal Home
Akela would do best in a home where he can explore nature quietly, rather than hanging out in busy, crowded public places. He would do best in a home with no cats, as he loves to chase them a little too much.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
Akela is perfectly crate trained and 100% house trained. He appreciates other respectful, low to medium energy dogs that know when it's time to play and when it's time to relax together. He is very good at matching the play style of the other dog he is with.
