Story
Oz aka chicken nugget is a pure bred American Akita full of spunk and energy. He gets along great with female dogs but not my old male that is the reason for rehoming him. We have six kids and he does excellent with them. He is 100 percent house and potty trained we do not have to put things up and he knows to go outside. He can sit shake and when not being stubborn lay down. He is scheduled to be neutered on the 9th and his rabies vaccine it’s all paid for but we would like to have him rehomed prior to this. He is not very socialized other than our family and the neighbors so he will need work on that. He’s an excellent watch dog and alerts when he sees someone.
