Notes: Haichi is a 2-3 year old, 71 lb, male. We believe Haichi is an Akita mix based on his temperament and personality. Haichi needs to be the only dog and would do best in a home that has experience with Shepherds or Akitas. Once Haichi chooses you he is completely loving and loyal. Loves long walks, running, tennis balls, and PupPeroni treats. Haichi will sit, shake and give hugs. Haichi is a huge baby BUT he is very anxious of new people. He might growl or bark at you, but we have been working on his manners. Once he gets to know you, he will crawl right in your lap for some love. Adoption fees are $65.00 which includes neuter and rabies. For more information on Haichi visit us at the Tazewell County Animal Shelter.

Dogs picked up as strays are kept for 7 days if it does not have collar or 12 days if it has a collar so that the owner can claim it before we can put the dog up for adoption. If you are interested in a particular dog before its available date please contact us. We would like a dog to go to a new home or rescue as soon as possible after its "available" date.
