About Mookie

Adoption Fee: $125
Akita / Boxer
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

I write the email with deep sorrow because I am reaching out for help with my Akita Mookie. I have had Mookie for the past 3 years and live with my wife and other dog. Recently my dogs got into a bad fight and Mookie got extremely aggressive and would not let go of my other dog even when my wife tried to pull him off. This has shocked everyone I have told because Mookie is typically a sweet heart and loved by many. After consulting with the veterinarian, It seems that our two dogs are not going to coexist in our home together It breaks my heart, but I do not know how to keep him in my household and need to look into rehoming him. I am willing to cover whatever costs are needed to find him the right home. A little about Mookie. Mookies birthday is today (3/3) and he just turned 4. Mookie is half akita and half boxer mix and weights about 95 lbs. I've been walking Mookie off leash at my local park in Long Beach everyday for the past two years. Mookie knows basic commands like sit, paw, down, stay, come, and go lay down. Mookie also will recall to a person whistling while he is off leash. Mookie is very friendly to everyone he meets at the park, but can be protective of the house, but will relax once the person comes inside and pets him. Mookie loves to be held and to be the center of attention... he can never have too many hands petting him. Mookie likes to play with other dogs, but has been less interested in this as he has gotten older. He is prey driven, but has been trained not too chase if you yell for him, a stern 'HEY' has worked for me. Mookie can get anxious when left alone, but we have trained him to cope with the anxiety and he has done fine with being left alone for 8 hour periods. Thank you so much
