Fig Newton Akita & Shepherd Mix Los Angeles, CA

HANDSOME Fig Newton was found as a stray, with a leg injury. He is 5 years old and 50 lbs. Our friend at the shelter was instantly smitten with how quickly he bonded with her. Fig Newton LOVES the ladies. And he adores his hikes and walks. In fact he recently started pack hikes and he is smiling ear to ear during these. Fig is a bit shy with new people, and needs a little time to see they come in friendship. Once that’s established, a firm bond is created. He has even started to lean in for petting and affection - is a clear sign Fig is TRUSTING, which is what we want for all Rescue Pups. Fig’s ideal home would be with someone who has an active lifestyle, as he loves his outdoor exploring. He's not hyper, just loves to walk. Someone looking for a bonded pal, a handsome shadow, and a loyal friend - this might be your dude. Fig Newton would enjoy having his own, secure yard too, to compliment indoor life. If you are looking for a ready made, coffee run & dog-park pal, Fig would probably be fine at the park, however he would be better suited to explore life, with his person on shared adventures - as he is just soulful like that. If you are a healer and love helping pups gain confidence and watching them blossom, then this dapper gent is worth a second look. Fig appears to be potty trained based on his clean kennel habits but has not been tested in a home.
