Hachi may not have actually been to Hollywood, but he is a star in the making! Hachi is one of those dogs that you meet and immediately know how special he is. With his goofy smile, giant ears, and easygoing manner, he makes friends everywhere he goes. He is giant in size, and in the amount of love he has to give. Whoever gets to be his new BFF is one lucky human!
Here are some notes from his foster :
Hachi immediately made himself at home and already has our hearts!
Personality: Hachi is so very chill, radiating love, and extremely patient. He loves to have eyes and ears on his people, as well as other dogs getting their walks outside the window. He’s more than content lounging around all day, moving from couch to bed to floor. He will follow you around with a dopey grin to make sure you are safe, and then go back to his snoozing.
New human friends: He has no problem waltzing on up for pets or laying on his back in the grass for belly rubs. He happily greets visitors as they walk in the door. Everyone is a friend to Hachi :)
New dog friends: He has been the easiest roommate to our 2-year-old Shepard named Doom. He is most indifferent, respectfully shares space with her, and mostly loves to give her a good sniff. We have seen no resource guarding, food aggression, or attention jealousy.
Bathroom, leash, and car: We have had no accidents, and he lets us know when he needs to go in the backyard with cute little squeaks. He loves short, slow walks where he can smell (all of) the flowers! He doesn’t need too much mileage, a lap around the block does this old man just fine. Excellent leash manners overall! He also handles the car like a champ – just a few minutes into the drive he will rest his head down and enjoy the ride.
Food and meds: Hachi loves his wet food and will gobble down his meds in the food, no problem!
Sleeping arrangements: He is happiest on a plushy surface that eases any discomfort on his joints. His foam bed or soft couch have been his favorites. He likes to have his bed positioned where he can be reassured, you’re safe and in sight.
