MARK (patient and a good walker)

Mark is a handsome Akita mix whose happy spirit shines the moment you meet him. Found wandering on his own, it’s clear someone once spent time training him – he knows his basics, listens well, and carries himself with confidence and charm.<br/><br/>Estimated to be about 3 years old, Mark is a friendly, outgoing boy who’s ready to bring love, laughter, and loyal companionship into a new home. He absolutely lights up when he’s outside: tail wagging nonstop, nose busy with curious sniffs, little hops of excitement, and his signature move — a happy wiggle‑dance on his back that shows just how good life feels when he’s having fun.<br/><br/>Mark would thrive in an active home where he can enjoy walks, explore the outdoors, and have space to run around. He enjoys people and would likely do well in social settings where he can show off his sweet personality. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate adventure buddy who makes every day brighter, Mark might be the perfect match.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Online Dog Adoption Forms: : https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-dog/<br/>Website for general questions: www.wacshelter.com<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/<br/>Email: wacvolunteers@gmail.com<br/><br/>** Be sure to check out our FACEBOOK page for day to day updates on our<br/> cats and dogs.<br/><br/>Canine adoption fee includes: <br/>Spay/neuter<br/>Age appropriate vaccinations<br/>Deworming<br/>Flea prevention (if required)<br/>Heartworm screening/monthly prevention<br/> <br/>** Volunteer dog walkers work with our dogs 7 days a week. What your adoption fee also includes is housetraining, leash walking and a good understanding of the kind of home each dog would thrive in. <br/>ADOPTION FEE: $ 150<br/><br/> "People who say money can't buy you happiness,<br/> have never paid an adoption fee...."<br/><br/><br/><br/>IS THIS DOG SAFE WITH CATS?<br/><br/>There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description!<br/><br/>IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS?<br/><br/>No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.<br/><br/>IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH CHILDREN?<br/><br/>The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.<br/><br/>WHY IS THIS DOG IN THE SHELTER?<br/><br/>The top reasons dogs are given up are:<br/><br/>Moving without considering the needs of the pets<br/>Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets<br/>Previous owner did not provide appropriate training<br/>Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog<br/>Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
