Stingray

My story

A28133 Stingray is a white colored, approximately 3-year-old, 65-pound, neutered male, Akita. He entered the shelter as an owner surrender on 05-28-2025 due to the fact they have become overwhelmed with having pets. Stingray is a friendly, eager and excited boy here at the shelter. Our staff describes him as very exuberant, saying he wants to go, go, go and get out of the kennel. He is ready to come out of the kennel and will meet you at the door ready to go. He will bum rush the door and try and run right through you in his excitement to get outside. He will need an owner that understands the breed. He was easy to leash and excited to go for a walk. He is a strong boy and a heavy puller. Wanting to go wherever his thoughts take him, paying no attention to his handler. He will need some leash and command training as he does not respond to any commands. He barks at other dogs going by his kennel, but not in a mean or aggressive way, as if he wants to get out of the kennel and go also. He did come in with his sister Ocean, so he does get along with other dogs. The previous owner says he is not house broken, has lived with other dogs, and children, but not cats. Stingray will be a fun-loving family member in his new forever home.
