Captain

Description

Successfully rehomed by RSPCA Newcastle & North Northumberland Branch

Captain is a lovely 1 year old Japanese Akita. He entered RSPCA care in April 2013 with his friend Karla as part of a cruelty investigation. Both dogs had severe hair loss from untreated skin problems. They have both now received treatment and all of their hair has grown back. Captain is a nervous boy who is looking for an experienced owner, preferably with previous experience of Akitas or similar breeds. He has had very little socialisation and is easily frightened by new situations. Captain is a sweet boy who just needs a special someone to teach him to trust again. Captain can sit on command but requires further basic obedience training. He is friendly with other dogs here at the centre and could benefit from living with an older, confident dog but this is not essential. Captain is looking for a home with no children due to his nervous nature. If you feel you can help Captain to be courages once more, please contact the Rehoming Co-ordinator (Sarah) on 07973952575.
