My name is Akeh!

Meet Akeh—though we call him Ajay! This clever, eager learner already knows how to sit, shake, and go “down” most of the time, showing incredible promise for further training. As Akeh grows more comfortable, his playful personality shines through, and he’s full of energy and curiosity!

Akeh’s gentle and docile nature makes him a wonderful match for a loving, accepting dog companion who can join in his playtime. He thrives on positive reinforcement and is highly treat-motivated, making training both enjoyable and productive. While he’s still mastering leash manners, Akeh is eager to learn and embraces new challenges with enthusiasm.

This sweet, affectionate boy has been a joy to have around. He’s a great sport about wearing his sweater, loves playing with his toys and bones, and made the holidays extra special with his good behavior. Akeh is working on commands like “off,” “down,” “place,” and “kennel up,” and he’s making steady progress, responding well to guidance.

Though he may cry a little when left alone, he’s adjusting and finds comfort in a cozy, secure setup. With time and consistent support, his confidence and independence will continue to grow.

Akeh is a kind-hearted pup looking for a home filled with patience, play, and love. If you’re ready for a loyal, joyful companion, Akeh is ready to become your new best friend. Take a look at his photos and let his personality win you over!
