Introducing Diesel, a gorgeous young boy looking for a new home due to a change in his owner’s circumstances. He is very friendly and confident, although a little boisterous but that is normal for a dog of this age. He is very eager to please and knows a few commands. He is already neutered. He can be left for a couple of hours in the home but can be destructive if he gets bored. He loves to play with teddy bears and carries them around with him for a while but he will eventually destroy them.
Diesel does pull on the lead and will need some training in this area, with patience this should be easily rectified. Diesel has always lived with children and could be rehomed again to a family with dog aware children. He is currently living with Luna, FOA reference 473 and it is the owners preference that the pair are rehomed together but if you don’t have room in your home for a pair but are interested in Diesel we would still love to hear from you. Although Diesel gets on great with Luna he is not friendly to other dogs. He cannot be rehomed with cats.

17Jan2012 | Friends of Akitas Trust UK | READ MOREZiggy – 7 month old male Akita
Ziggy is a gorgeous young boy who came into our care after not having the best start in life. Ziggy was found as a stray had zero trust in humans, on arrival in our foster home it was apparant that Ziggy had been mistreated.
After just a few weeks and with patience from his foster family and guidance from his Akita foster brother and sister, Ziggy is now a happy boy like any young pup should be. Now he knows all humans aren’t bad, he associates an outstretched hand with a treat or a good old chin rub! He will now welcome any person into the house with a waggy rail and will actively seek out a fuss and a cuddle, a far cry from the behaviour displayed when he first arrived in our care.
Ziggy is dog friendly and could live with a female companion, he is happy to share his toys and food with his doggy friends. He can be a little rough in his play with other dogs but it is not aggressive. He cannot be rehomed with a cat as he will chase, homes with dog aware children will be considered. He will need a firm but loving hand to guide him as he matures so that the hard work of his foster carers is continued and he grows into a well balanced adult.
If you are interested in giving a loving forever home to Ziggy, please get in touch.
Ziggy is currently in the West Midlands and is 7 months old, if you are interested in him please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .

He is friendly and playful and would love nothing more than to find his forever home….Panda is an 18 month old Akita and he has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
‘Hi, I’m Panda, and I’m looking for love. And a home. And a family. I used to be loved and treasured in my old home, but my owner was poorly and couldn’t care for me anymore so I was taken to the pound. From there I went to a rescue centre and it’s here that I have been waiting patiently for my new home ever since.
I really adore people and I would love a new family to love me. I am playful and bouncy and just desperate to please! I am quite picky about my doggy friends, I would like to be the only dog in the house….so I can get all the love and the fuss!
I’m clean in my kennel and i haven’t destroyed my bed or my toys…. I really will be a fabulous addition to my new family….please don’t be put off by my size…I’m a gentle giant with all the people that I meet.
I will make you a deal… I will give you all the love in the world in return for a forever home and your love…Please? I need you…
If you can offer Panda, or any of our dogs, a place in your heart and your home, please call Kymm on 07886 620009 or email jodiesedr@hotmail.co.uk
Panda could potentially live with a female dog, or as an only dog. He isn’t always reliable with other dogs. He cannot live with cats, and could live with children aged 10 plus.
We can’t think of a better start to the year than for Panda to find the forever home he has been patiently waiting for. Please make 2012 the year that Chico’s future changes for the better…..

Katoe older Akita Girl. Katoe is an older girl who is around 8 yrs old, she has come to us in rather an unkept condition and is ready to start her retirement as soon as she can find a forever home. It isnt clear how Katoe got into her poor condition, her coat has not had the care it should and her new owners will need to be prepared to groom her regularly to maintain her in good condition. Katoe is a friendly girl and still enjoys her walks, she can be strong and likes to sniff about the woods in true doggy fashion. Katoe is fine to be handled and will make a loyal companion to a lucky new owner.
UPDATE: Walked Katoe today and she is such a laid back girl. Used an extendible and she was no problem, always checks back with you and feel she would bond pretty quickly with you. Comes out of her kennel very calmly showing no reaction to any dogs that are barking. Did enjoy a chest rub tilting her head to one side with eyes closed.
Fortune – 2 year old male Akita
Fortune Male Akita around 2 yrs old. Fortune is an impressive looking dog who will need an active home to keep him happy, he is a friendly boy and although he does not seem to know any commands , he did sit with the aid of a treat so further training should be easy. Fortune is keen to start his walks and he can pull a little, this is aided with a harness , but after while he relaxes and become quite responsive to his handler. He is fine to be handled and enjoys a fuss and a cuddle,he is a bit of a cuddle monster really. Fortune would like to live up to his name and find a forever home really soon.
Murdoch – 18 months old male Akita
Meet Murdoch, a handsome male Akita that has come into our care after finding himself unclaimed in the council pound. Murdoch is now safe in FOA kenneling and is proving himself to be a wonderful boy. He is a complete fusspot and will wriggle around at the slightest touch. He met our assessor at the pound with a waggly tail and a pawing at the bars of his kennel, desperate to have a cuddle, he even let her take a thorn out of his paw! He is small for a male Akita and he has the most beautiful tail and head.
Murdoch is strong on the lead but responds well to correction and he has shown no signs of being possessive over toys or food. He has not been directly dog tested as yet but initial indications show that he could potentially live with a female companion. He has not as yet been tested with cats. As Murdoch is a stray and we do not know anything about his past history, we will not place him in a home with young children.
If you are interested in adopting this fabulous lad, please get in touch!
Murdock is currently in Leicestershire and is 18 months old, if you are interested in him please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .
11Jan2012 | Friends of Akitas Trust UK | READ MOREBracken – 3 year old male Akita
Introducing Bracken, a handsome male looking for a new home. Bracken is very relaxed and loving within the home, and he adores chewing on plastic bottles when he is given them. He likes to have a Kong toy, and has no food or toy guarding issues. Bracken was rehomed by Friends of Akitas in 2009 but is looking for a new home again as unfortunately he has issues with other dogs due to a lack of socialisation when he was young. He is actually scared of other dogs and needs someone with the experience and patience to help him over his fear.
Bracken will need someone who is around for a good proportion of the day as he does suffer from seperation anxiety and can become distressed when left alone for periods of time, his new owner will need to be willing to work with him on this. He is also scared of small spaces due to being locked away in his first home, therefore he cannot be put in a small room, crate or kennels.
We are looking for a new home for Bracken with someone who has experience of Akitas or other similar large breeds. Bracken cannot be rehomed where there is a dog in residence due to his fear but he is currently living happily with a cat and could do so again in a new home. Bracken is too boisterous to be rehomed with young children but a home with older dog aware children will be considered.
If you think you could be the one to offer this special boy his perfect home, or you would like to know more about him, please contact us.
Bracken is currently in Bedfordshire and is 3 years old, if you are interested in him please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .
