Meet Ashe. Ashe is a handsome Akita who came to us as a stray and is searching for a patient, experienced home. The shelter environment can be quite stressful for him, and he has been showing signs of anxiety. Ashe has been tolerant of handling and is gradually adjusting to his new surroundings. He will thrive in a calm, predictable home where his owner understands canine body language and can provide the time and space he needs to relax. Because Ashe can feel anxious in a shelter setting, he would benefit most from a knowledgeable adopter who can offer structure and positive guidance. With the right support, Ashe could flourish and reveal more of his unique personality outside of the shelter. If you have experience with Akitas or similar large, independent breeds and are looking for a dog who needs a dedicated advocate, Ashe may be the perfect match for you. Think you are the one?
