Meet Yoshi, a spirited one-year-old American Akita from Ellensburg, WA, whose heart is as big as his impressive 100-pound frame! With his striking white and black coat and gentle, soulful eyes, Yoshi is a playful, active companion who’s always ready for an outdoor adventure or a snuggle after a long walk.
Yoshi’s personality is as vibrant as his energy level—this gentle giant loves being outside, whether it’s going for walks, exploring the yard, or just soaking up the fresh air. He’s a true adventurer at heart, and his strong, athletic build means he’s always up for a game or a stroll. While he’s got plenty of playful energy, he’s also wonderfully polite—Yoshi doesn’t bark much, only letting out the occasional soft “woo” to remind you he’s there.
This sweet boy knows his basic commands, including “sit,” “lay down,” “shake,” “stay,” and “come.” He’s house-trained and well-mannered, but since he’s still young, he could benefit from continued positive reinforcement training to help him reach his full potential. Yoshi’s easygoing nature makes him a great match for families, especially those with young children. He’s friendly to strangers and loves meeting new friends, both human and canine.
Though he gets along well with other dogs, Yoshi is selective when it comes to cats—he’s not a fan of every feline friend. If you already have a cat, a careful introduction would be necessary to see if they could coexist peacefully. His thick, luxurious coat needs regular grooming to keep him looking his best, and his new caregiver should be prepared for some brushing and bathing. He also appreciates dental care like brushing and chew treats to keep his smile healthy.
Yoshi’s ideal home would have a securely fenced yard where he can burn off energy and plenty of human interaction to satisfy his social side. He’s the perfect blend of active and affectionate, always eager to be by your side whether you’re out for a hike or just hanging out at home. Yoshi is already neutered, vaccinated, and ready to meet you!
