Location: Raleigh, NC
Meet Nori (Norrin) he's about 4 year old Akita/Malamute that, unfortunately, I'm looking to rehome.
He does not do good with other males (he tends to get aggressive) but, has lived with a female dog for some time. I still think he would be better as a one dog household. He's fantastic around kids/people and is very quick to hug anyone and everyone. it's just other dogs he gets dicey with. I would prefer someone that's work from home or retired with a decent sized fenced yard he can burn out some energy in.
He's a massive cuddle bug and always wants to be around people. He's potty trained but will act out from time to time if he's not getting enough attention.
He can be stubborn, is food driven, and lately has been escaping out of the house on me, but, I believe that's because I went down to a 1 adult household and haven't been able to give him the attention he needs.
