About Aiko

Aiko is glossy, fun and loving, one-year-old, 48-pound, female black and tan Shepherd-mix looking for a loving guardian. Aiko loves her people, her home, her yard and her toys. Abandoned on a balcony when her human left the country. Aiko landed at CACC and almost died of pneumonia before making her way out of the shelter. Sadly, she was never introduced to other animals when she was a puppy, so other animals frighten her. She's best in a home as the only pet and with a fenced in yard to play with her family. Aiko knows the commands sit and does beautifully during training when she's at home and calm. She gets super aroused and excited on walks causing her to bark which is not much fun for anyone. Aiko is housebroken, crate-trained and well-behaved in the home. Her favorite thing in the world is playing ball which she can do non-stop! She's not a doggie daycare of dog park dog. She's happiest at home with her family that loves her. Continued training will help increase her confidence and happiness. It's going to only get better for her from here on! Aiko is now very healthy, spayed, and up to date on rabies, distemper, bordatella and leptospirosis vaccines. She is microchipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. Her adoption fee of $175 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits Rescue. If you are interested in meeting and possibly fostering/adopting Aiko, please fill in an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up by contacting [email protected] to make an appointment to meet her. She is being fostered in Chicago.
