Makoto is a 66-lb Akita mix with a calm, easygoing side that makes him great company for anyone looking for a laid-back companion. He walks well on leash, doesn’t jump, and has a soft spot for squeaker toys and treats. Makoto’s spent a considerable time at BCAS and is more than ready to find a place—and person—to call his own. He’s been polite with respectful dogs and mostly ignores cats, though the occasional chase does happen, so some gentle redirection may be helpful. He’s done well with people and could thrive in a household with older, considerate children. One of Makoto’s standout qualities is his love of road trips; he’s happy as your co-pilot. Born January 23, 2022, he’s an Aquarius, which might explain the independent streak and enjoyment of quiet moments. If you’re after a friendly dog who appreciates the simple things and will make any outing more enjoyable, Makoto is worth meeting. Click apply to start the adoption process.
