Kazuki is a Japanese name which means Shining One. Kaz is a seven month old pup in need of a loving and active new home. He is a mix of terrier, shepherd and Akita, but mostly Akita. He's got gorgeous toffee eyes and a lovely thick coat with a curly tail. He loves attention and is a very fast learner. He adores having a good run then collapsing by the fire for a snooze. Good with children and most dogs and seems friendly enough with cats if they don't run. Please give this adorable boy the home he deserves. For more information, go to www.pawzforthought.org.
