At 9 years young, beautiful Smudge has sadly come into our care following a relationship breakdown which resulted in her owner becoming homeless. She is currently settling into foster care and slowly adjusting to a huge change in her world.
Smudge is a calm, gentle girl who can be a little unsure while she finds her paws again, but she is already showing what a lovely companion she is. She takes treats very gently, has excellent manners, and knows a range of commands including sit, down, stay, wait and walk. She is also an absolute dream on the lead and thoroughly enjoys her walks.
Having previously lived in a multi dog household, Smudge is now gradually getting to know the dogs in her foster home. We feel she could potentially live with a calm, patient, neutered male of a similar size, subject to careful introductions.
Although Smudge has never lived with cats, she has been calm and friendly with those she has met in foster. She enjoys greeting other animals and has shown a very relaxed nature. However, as with all dogs, we cannot guarantee how she would respond to feline companions in a new home environment.
She is not bothered by birds, although she has been known to bark at the local foxes, perhaps something she has never encountered before.
Smudge has not lived with children previously. She absolutely adores people and enjoys nothing more than affection and company, but at her age she would prefer a quieter home environment. We feel she would be best suited to a home with calm, respectful children aged 12 years and over who can understand her need for space and rest.
This lovely girl thrives on companionship and would suit a home where someone is around for most of the day. Due to the upheaval she has recently experienced, she can become worried if left alone for long periods, although with patience and reassurance we expect her confidence to continue growing as she settles.
Smudge is simply a very loving Akita who deserves a forever home where she will be cherished, spoiled rotten, and never have to wait for love and attention again.
Could that be you? Please get in touch today.
