Mookie

Loving Big Boy Looking For Single Dog Home

Mookie is 4 years old and is half Akita and half Boxer. Mookie loves to play tug of war and wrestle in the grass, but also loves to cuddle up on the coach watch tv and get some belly rubs. Mookie is house trained and knows basic commands like sit, paw, down, stay, come, and go lay down. Mookie also will recall to a person whistling while he is off leash, but I would build trust before trying this. Mookie walks well on leash and knows not to go into the streets.

Mookie is a protective dog and will bark when he hears someone approaching outside. He will be wary of new people entering the house, but will warm up to them when he gets to pet them.

Mookie should be the only pet in the home and should not be in a home with small children. He is a very special dog that will give you the most love ever, but he is not compatible with every living situation.
