MAX - Akita and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Burbank, California

This awesome gentle giant was found as a stray here in Burbank. Tyson quickly let us know that he is as sweet and gentle as he is large and in charge. He weighs in at around 100 lbs but has clearly been given some direction and training as he walks very well on a leash even when there is noise and chaos around him. Tyson does not like other dogs and should be the only animal in his household. We are not sure about young kids. Because he was found stray we are not sure about what other training he has had. We think it is safe to assume he will need potty and continued obedience and leash training in his future adopter's home. He might do okay in an apartment as long as his adopter provides plenty of exercise and mental stimulation as well as check if they are allowed to have a ~100 lb. Akita mix. Many apartments and landlords have breed and weight restrictions.

The Akita is a powerful and dignified dog breed originating from Japan, known for its loyalty, intelligence, and independent nature. They have a distinctive curled tail, erect ears, and a dense double coat that comes in various colors. Akitas are renowned for their strong protective instincts, making them excellent guard dogs. However, they require firm training and socialization to manage their dominant tendencies. With the right guidance and care, Akitas can be loving, devoted companions for experienced dog owners.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
