Adopt a Shepherd / Akita / Mixed (medium coat)

VIPER

Breed: Shepherd & Akita Mix / Adoption fee is $150 / Sex: Male / Age: Approximately 2 yrs old / Weight: Approximately 65 pounds & tall

Viper is a gorgeous, tall and happy dog.  He is an absolute love bug and the perfect mix between active and snuggly.  Viper has been good with other dogs he has met at the rescue and lives with other dogs in a small group dormitory.  He uses a doggy door to go outside to use the bathroom.  

Viper is big in size and personality and would do best in an active home with someone who understands a working breed.  When Viper sees people he knows, he gets so excited.  He is intelligent and alert and if someone would spend the time training him on leash manners and basic commands, he would make an amazing companion.  He is a favorite here at the rescue and he would love a home to call his own.   

NORTHERN BREEDS: All of our Husky/Northern breeds require a home visit to check for appropriate fencing and, if needed, to offer tips on containment.  You can quicken your adoption process by sending us some yard pics, focusing on the fence lines, when you submit your application.

Please keep in mind if you want to own a husky or malamute you will need to be open to the fact that containing this dog may require you to install a hot wire system (cost is approx $100) this is quite often needed to prevent digging, climbing or chewing through fences.  A hot wire is typically the best route to start with for proper containment and peace of mind.  Some of our dogs will require this fencing method, prior to adoption, knowing they have a history of escaping and will either jump or climb over your current fencing.  For most yards installation of a hot wire is simple and can be done in under 2 hours.  

Northern Breeds are beautiful dogs but can have challenging personalities.  They can be demanding and very destructive by chewing or digging and if not exercised they may be hard to contain when their needs are not met. Please learn a little more about the breed on our website Home Page.
