Akita
Katoe – 8 year old female Akita
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.

Bracken – 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 .

Introducing Cormick, a handsome boy looking for a new home after finding himself in the pound. He seemed very eager to please, and knows some commands already. He does pull a bit on the lead initially, but responded well to our assessor’s correction so we think this should be easy to correct with a little training. He was initially wary of our assessor, but relaxed when out of his kennel, and enjoyed playing with a toy and interacting with her. He has shown no signs of toy or food guarding.
Cormick will need an owner who is experienced with larger breeds. He has not been tested with other dogs or cats as yet. If you think you could offer this lovely chap the new start he needs, please get in touch.
Cormick is currently in Leicestershire and is 2 years old, if you are interested in him please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .

Diva is a beautiful girl and has just arrived into our care after serving her time as a stray in the pound and sadly she wasn’t claimed. Diva is friendly and inquisitive and our aasessor found she loved to have a fuss, and is very relaxed. She has shown no signs of toy or food guarding, and walks well on the lead.
Diva was curious but non aggressive with other dogs at the pound so we feel that she would be suited to live with a male companion, however now she is in an FOA foster home this will be tested further.
Diva is currently in County Durham and is 2 years old, if you are interested in her please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .

Nanook – 2 year old male Akita
Meet Nanook, a stunning boy who is being rehomed due to a change in his current owners working patterns. Nanook is a friendly and loyal Akita and his current owners feel that he deserves to be in a home where he isn’t left alone so much. He is a well mannered, gentle and responsive boy who was happy to demonstrate his sit, paw and lie down at assessment. He takes treats gently and has no protection issues at all around food and his toys. He enjoys a fuss and is happy to roll over on to his back for a tummy tickle.
Nanook is a confident boy and when out and about walking he is interested in everything that is happening around him, he is lead trained and walked well for our assessor with very little pulling, he is responsive when corrected. Although until recently Nanook has lived with another dog, he can be selective about his canine companions so the decision to rehome him with a female companion would be based on the success at introduction stage. Nanook has never had experience of living with children so we will not place him in a home with young children. He is not cat friendly.
Is this laid back boy the one that you are looking for? If you think so, please get in touch.
Nanook is currently in Lancashire and is 2 years old, if you are interested in him please contact Julie – 07738638091 – julie@friendsofakitas.co.uk or Nicola – 07786433545 –nicola@friendsofakitas.co.uk .

Introducing Kai, a friendly and calm boy looking for a new home after finding himself in the pound. Kai is very relaxed and was keen to have cuddles with our assessor. He enjoys playing but hasn’t shown any signs of toy or food aggression. We have been told that Kai walks well on the lead but this will be further tested in our foster home. He has been clean in his kennel while at the pound, and not destructive.
As we have no history of Kai, he will not be rehomed to families with younger children. He is friendly to other dogs so has the potential to be rehomed with a female companion. He has not been cat tested.

Introducing Massey, a stunning boy looking for a new home after finding himself in the pound. Massey is a typical Akita – a little aloof but loves to have a fuss! He has shown no signs of toy or food guarding. He does know some basic commands and was keen to demonstrate them to our assessor, with this in mind he should be easy to train. Massey does pull somewhat on the lead and this will need some work from his new owners.
