About Tango

Tango is a 9-10 month old Akita who arrived as a stray and is now ready to find his forever home. He’s kennel trained and gets along well with other dogs, displaying a friendly demeanor with people. Tango is a large goofball that loves to play and share laughs. However, he needs some work on his leash training, and due to his shy nature, we’re looking for someone with experience specifically with Akitas. This playful pup is eager for companionship and would thrive in an understanding environment. Given his young age and spirited personality, Tango will bring joy and energy to any household.
