Akita Dogs Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Welcome Bjorn.

Following an extensive period of evasion in Kentucky, he was humanely captured and transported to Shelby County Animal Shelter, where the staff provided exemplary care during his stay with them.

Bjorn:
He has come such a long way.
He opens up a little more every day. He has a silly personality but is very calm
He loves to go for walks and just sit in the breeze at the park.
He really likes sweet talk
He walks well on a leash
We think he is around 3 years old.
He is UTD on shots
Current on prevention
Microchipped
Neutered

He is holding back on his fun side so far. He lets he out but quickly reals it in, he is looking for a person that will allow him to completely open up and play

Children over 8 please
Akita experience is required

Unknown around cats, but he’s a pretty chill guy and we think he would be fine

He is non reactive to other dogs but not dog tested

Bjorn is located in the St Louis MO area.

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.
