Rockville,, MD - Blind Akita

This beautiful boy has been at the shelter since 6/19 but I haven't been able to access the Internet until today to post him.

Koda was an owner surrender and appears to have been primarily kept outside. There are fly strikes on his ears and he needs grooming. He was not born blind but his blindness was reported to be progressive. He is scheduled to be evaluated for temperament (because he's an Akita and special needs) but my personal experience with him is that he is a big teddy bear that loves to sit or lay next to you, be petted and spoken to. He does get an attitude when he is in his cage and another dog tries to get too close but outside of the cage he appears just fine. I am very worried about him because the shelter is full and they have been euthanizing every week. If you can help this sweet boy please email

or contact

Montgomery County Animal Control & Humane Society at (240) 773-5960
Ask for information about animal ID number A307754

I will personally help in any way I can. The shelter is very rescue friendly and there is no pull fee to approved 501(c)3 rescues. This includes vaccinations and microchip. Koda is already neutered. PLEASE save Koda..

Yours in rescue,

Kricket
