Bruno is a male Akita puppy. a stunning dark charcoal brindle, looking almost like a little tiger with his intricate coat patterns., born on January 7, 2026. Bruno is the 'thinker' of the group. He features a bold white blaze across his chest and delicate white tips on his toes that contrast beautifully with his dark, plush fur. Bruno is an adorable puppy, and please note that Akitas grow into powerful, dignified, and complex adult dogs. Please have experience with this breed, or research and make sure you have the time and interest to raise an Akita. Often recommended as only dog, or with a different sex dog in the same household as they can become same sex intolerant as they mature. While his siblings are rushing in head-first, Bruno prefers to observe from the sidelines for a moment. He is a gentle, shy boy who appreciates a soft touch and a quiet voice. Don’t let his initial timidness fool you, though—once he knows he’s safe, he warms up into the sweetest, most affectionate little bear you’ve ever met. Bruno is looking for a patient home that will help his confidence grow. In return, he’ll give you a lifetime of quiet devotion and very soft puppy kisses. Adoption fee $525.
