Tom – 9 year old male Akita
This is Tom, an older Akita gentleman at 9 in West Yorkshire who went missing and found himself in the pound on death row. Made aware of his plight, his owners decided that they would leave him to his fate. Luckily, Tom has been moved to safe kennels with Friends of Akitas, and is showing just what a lovely boy he is! Tom is very gentle, and whilst he doesn’t appear to have a traditional knowledge of commands, he does have an unusual way of taking treats – and he does love treats!
Fine on the lead, Tom seems interested in other dogs – however this will be further tested when possible. Whilst our kennels are nice, they are no place for an older dog in the medium to longer term, can anyone open their heart and home to Tom?
