Wilson - male Akita

We've all fallen for Wilson! This gentle giant arrived at in our care with a terribly matted and dirty coat, so once he'd had time to settle in, he got the full works at the groomers! From a stinky, matted dog to a beautiful groomed and styled gentleman, he's had quite the transformation. Wilson is much happier and ready to find his new home. He loves to go for walks and is very confident in outdoor spaces, but we've found him to be a little wary of new indoor environments, so please have patience when he first goes home. He hasn't been keen on us leaving him so we always make sure he has something else to occupy him when we return him to his kennel. Wilson is friendly with people and will say hello, but Akitas are notoriously aloof and Wilson is no exception. He is ready to move on after being introduced and has no interest in new people fussing him. With other dogs, Wilson is friendly enough and will walk happily with most, but he can be full on when first greeting them. We also know from his previous owner that Wilson isn't happy about off lead dogs running up to him. We think he is best suited to being the only dog at home.

Wilson can live with children over the age of 16 but he'll need to be the only dog at home. He is house trained and can be left alone for a couple of hours. Wilson will require daily grooming.
