Hi - I'm "AJ"... I am 5 years old, well mannered, neutered already, up to date on all my shots, heartworm negative and about 85lbs. I am a self masked Red and White Akita. I really wanted another family of my own as my family transfered with the service and turned me into the Schertz Animal Shelter. Well the Shelter knew a good thing when they saw it <smerk> and fell in love with me long enough for my foster mom to rescue me. She is a wonderful lady named Sara but Sara's other Akita wanted me to find my OWN place to live if you get my drift. To everyone that helped save me... I now am a lazy house dog again. WooRooo ahh...Thank you :-)
**editors note: special thanks to a successful combined effort to save AJ by Sara Strandtman, Lisa Connolly and to the Lone Star Akita Club of Houston - AJ is safe and in an experienced Akita home. He even sleeps in their room at night - ahhh blessings all around :-)
