Riko is a big, loveable bear with a cheeky, mischievous side that will keep you smiling. 

He is eager to learn and already knows commands like sit, give paw, and can sometimes wait—though his patience can wear thin, typical for his age and breed. 

Having recently come from a kennel environment, Riko starts off a little excited on walks but quickly settles into a pleasant companion. 

Like many Akitas, he can be a bit stubborn, but that’s all part of his charm. Riko is adored by everyone who meets him and has an abundance of love to give. 

He gets along well with other dogs, though he hasn’t been fully tested in more structured settings.

Riko would thrive in an active household with a large, securely enclosed garden. 

Due to his size and energy, he is best suited for someone with experience handling large breeds. 

He could potentially live with older, dog-savvy children who understand his playful nature.

Riko would be an ideal companion for someone who enjoys outdoor adventures, long walks, and providing mental and physical stimulation. With the right guidance and love, he will flourish into an amazing, lifelong friend.

But most of all, Riko needs a foster or a home to call his own. He’s been waiting for his chance, longing for the warmth of a family and a place to finally feel safe and loved. Could you be the one to give Riko the home he’s been dreaming of?

Give Riko the love he’s been waiting for – he’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty in return.
