Description:
Akiko is the kind of soul who makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. A tender grandpa with a gentle heart, he may move at a softer pace and need a bit less excitement but what he offers in return is something truly special: steady, unconditional love.Akiko is the perfect cuddle companion. He’s happiest beside you, not in a rush to go anywhere, just content to be. Picture quiet mornings watching the leaves turn brown before fall arrives, afternoons spent with a good book while he rests peacefully at your feet, and snowy evenings cozied up by the fireplace together. That’s Akiko’s dream, and maybe yours too.His slower pace isn’t a limitation; it’s an invitation to enjoy life’s simple, beautiful moments. Akiko still has so much love to give and is hoping for a home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored.If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a heart full of warmth, Akiko is ready to share his.All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.
