About Yumi
Yumi is a lovely, young Akita girl who we suspect is around 2 years old. This poor girl came in to the pound as a stray with no microchip information, so we don't have an exact age or any past history.
Whilst in our care we have found her to be a a very affectionate, playful girl who would just love a new family and someone to snuggle up on the couch with to give her plenty of cuddles. While she loves interacting with people, she is quite strong and can be boisterous, so she will need to go to a home where any children are teens or older.
Yumi's friendliness unfortunately does not extend to canine companions, so her new home will need to be an only-dog environment and preferably with some Akita experience.
Being a typical arctic breed dog, her instinct to hunt and chase is quite strong, so she will always need to be walked on lead by someone who will have good control of her, particularly around other dogs. For this reason a home with cats or other animals is also out of the question for Yumi.
As with all our dogs, Yumi will need a secure yard with shelter from the weather and access to inside when the family is home.
If you meet Yumi's requirements and have the experience, time and space for this lovely young Akita girl, please apply!
Yumi will require:
* Any children to be in their teens
* A home as an only dog
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A secure yard area with shelter from the weather
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high
* Homes with arctic breed experience, preferably with Akitas, will be given
priority
