Everyone has fallen for Wilson! It’s impossible not to do so as he’s such a gentle, gorgeous Akita aged 8+ years old. This gentle giant arrived in the care of Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool with a terribly matted and dirty coat. Once he’d had time to settle in, he got the full works at the groomers! From a stinky, matted dog to a beautiful, groomed and styled gentleman, he’s had quite the transformation.
This Wilson is now much happier and ready to find his new home. He is friendly with people and will say hello, but Akitas are notoriously aloof and Wilson is no exception. He is ready to move on after being introduced and has no interest in new people fussing him.
Wilson can live with children over the age of 16, but he’ll need to be the only dog at home. He is house-trained and can be left alone for a couple of hours. He will require daily grooming.
Wilson loves to go for walks and is very confident in outdoor spaces, but he’s a little wary of new indoor environments, so please have patience when he first goes home. He hasn’t been keen on being left, so the staff always make sure he has something else to occupy him when he is returned to his kennel.
With other dogs, Wilson can be hit and miss and it’s known from his previous owner that he isn’t happy about off-lead dogs running up to him. He probably is best suited to being the only dog at home.
