About Hatchi

Meet Hatchi! This soulful young adult Akita/Siberian Husky mix is currently in Roseville, CA. Wrapped in a majestic tricolor coat, he combines energy with a loyal, tender heart. At 90 pounds, Hatchi is an oversized teddy bear adjusting to life with one working eye due to stabilized glaucoma. He tends to be startled by sudden movements, especially while on walks, so he thrives with a confident, experienced caregiver who can help him feel secure. Strong on the leash, Hatchi can be reactive to dogs, cats, bikes, and passing cars, making it essential for his caregiver to have experience with large breeds and a good understanding of positive reinforcement training. Despite these hurdles, he's a sweet, snuggly companion eager to please—especially when treats are involved! Responsive to his name, he’s crate trained and house trained, and he's lived well with young children aged 7 and 8. While he could do well with a calm female dog, he wouldn’t be compatible with cats. Daily life with Hatchi also includes administering eye drops for his condition, but his love of treats helps make this routine manageable. A fenced yard is crucial—not for escaping, but to keep him safe given his Husky instincts and curiosity. Hatchi is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, ready to embark on a new chapter filled with love and guidance. With the right support, he has the potential to become a truly remarkable companion. If you’re interested in providing Hatchi with a loving home, please reach out. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
