About Ramen

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Ramen, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his fluffy Akita-Husky coat! This striking, social guy is 3 years and 5 months old and thrives on affection and companionship—he’s happiest when surrounded by people, and he’ll happily greet everyone he meets. Ramen is always up for adventure and especially loves long walks where he can take in new sights and sniffs, soaking up every moment with his favorite humans. Ramen is fully housetrained, does well with other dogs, and enjoys the company of respectful children aged 13 and older. He’s playful, sweet, and loyal to the core, but he does experience separation anxiety, so a household where someone is often home would make him feel safest. Ramen would appreciate an adopter with a flexible schedule, or someone who can help him feel secure when left alone. He needs a compassionate home ready to offer patience, security, and structure while working with his separation anxiety. Ramen should be in a cat-free house, since he loves watching (and sometimes chasing!) small critters like rabbits and squirrels, making it important for his new family to help manage this excitement on walks. Overall, Ramen’s loving nature and loyal personality make him a wonderful companion for the right home. If you’re looking for a devoted canine friend who will give you his whole heart, Ramen just might be your perfect match. He was born on November 6, making him a passionate and determined Scorpio—traits that shine through in his devotion! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
