Meet Hachi

Are you ready to welcome a regal, loving companion into your life? Meet Hachi, a 9-year-old Japanese Akita Inu with a heart full of love to give.

Through no fault of his own, Hachi is seeking a new home due to a change in family circumstances. This affectionate and well-cared-for boy has been with his family since he was 8-10 weeks old, and although they are heartbroken, they want nothing more than for him to find the perfect new family.

About Hachi

Hachi is the epitome of the Akita Inu breed: proud, majestic, and undeniably handsome. His well-groomed coat and healthy physique are testament to the love and care he’s received throughout his life. Please don’t let his age put you off.

He is friendly and enjoys the company of people, willingly accepting fuss and attention from our assessor, even allowing a gentle check of his teeth and gums which were great for his age.

He took treats really gently, sat and gave paw and jumped into the back of the car willingly.

On the assessment Hachi did pull initially on his walk. We feel this is partially due to an ill-fitting harness and his initial excitement for being in a new environment.  With a well fitted harness or collar he would be managed better on walks.

Personality

Friendly and Social: Hachi is used to a busy household and is used to be around children and people of all ages. He adores being around people and thrives on human interaction so would love a home where he isn’t left alone for long periods.

Children: Children aged 6 and above, making him a wonderful addition to family life.

The Only Dog: While he’s interested in passing dogs and doesn’t look to cause trouble, he prefers to be the sole canine in the home, soaking up all the love and attention.

No Cats: Due to his high prey drive

Ideal home

Hachi is a clever boy who knows how to open doors, so it’s essential to keep doors locked to ensure he stays safe and contained home.

He needs a secure garden with robust 6ft fencing. 

Hachi would not be suited to life in a flat.

If you live in rented accommodation, we must see proof of landlord’s permission to own a large breed dog on the premises – This is non-negotiable!

Could You Be Hachi’s New Family?

Hachi is looking for a family who will provide the love and companionship he deserves as it will be hard for him to adjust leaving his current family.  

If you have a home full of love and are ready to give this distinguished gentleman the attention and care he thrives on, please reach out and complete an adoption form.
