Barely Used Pets (dog)
Meet Akerya, a 2-year-old Malamute Mix, who came to us as an owner surrender. Akerya is a very friendly dog. He loves to be outside and play. He is great with women and children, but he is fearful of most men. We think once he is home and learns to trust he will do much better with men. He would do best in a home with other dogs, He loves just about every dog he meets. He is not good with cats. Akerya has been neutered and he is up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $150.
