He is still a baby by Akita standards (1.5 years), but is also already very intelligent. He knows sit, lay down, roll over, shake, stand ('up' command) and touch (licks your hand), and is working on heel and come. Azuki loves the outdoors, so he would do well with an active owner. He does have a lot of energy, so training classes, outdoor adventures, and/or enrichment games would really make him happy. He LOVES to cuddle, so he needs an owner who will hug him frequently and let him sleep near them. He does talk back sometimes, but is overall a Good Boy and would thrive in an active, affectionate environment. He's silly (he likes to loaf like a cat), opinionated, smart, and loving. Since he is independent, he would do best with an experienced owner, especially one who knows about confident breeds. He might also benefit from having a friend if you already have a dog. I unfortunately have to rehome him within the next two weeks for the following reasons: 1) I recently got a second part-time job, which I need to afford necessities. Having two jobs while being a soon-to-be full-time student is extremely time-consuming, to the point where Azuki is alone from morning to night, which isn't a good quality of life for him. Additionally, with the lack of time, I haven't had time to train him much. 2) My three roommates will be moving in in August/September, making me realize that my apartment would be far too cramped for him. 3) My mother can no longer care for her dog. Since I raised/trained her dog before I moved to Seattle and her dog is an ESA, I agreed to take her dog, who she will be bringing in a week or so. I sadly have to prioritize the dog I've known longer/raised, and I can't afford or have the space for two dogs. 4) A medication that regulates one of my chronic conditions was recently denied by my insurance. As such, I have been having painful flare ups, which has made it difficult to care for a dog of his size and energy levels.
