About dogs named Akamaru

The following are 6 profiles of dogs named Akamaru from our database of 16 dogs with the name Akamaru.

• “3 year old Bernese Mountain Dog - I'm a pile of love and snuggles at home, but sometimes turn into a ball of anxiety in new places. I'm trained to help my mom with scary things like PTSD and Panic attacks, and it's a good thing she has me because she doesn't seem to notice how dangerous everything is! Mom says I'm 95lbs, and I think I must be the same size as my 2 cat brothers, so I guess those big dogs must be at least 500lbs! I'm gentle and want to make friends with most dogs I see, I just forget how to introduce myself and get really awkward sometimes. So if you're confident and patient and would like to make a new derpy friend to play with, or maybe your mom just loves Berners (I hear that people think we're pretty cute), we could be a good match for doggy play dates!“

• “Hi! I'm a White German Shepherd with a Japanese name. (My favorite boy, Finn, used to love Japanese Anime and apparently, I look like one of the anime dogs in Naruto, so he named me after that dog--Akamaru.) Now, he calls me Aku for short. I kinda like it! At least my name is not Hans!!! :D“

• “Hi I’m Maru! I am a big ole baby who is very clingy and friendly. I just turned a year old so I have some rebellious sides to me. I might try to ignore you and be stubborn, but overall I’m a good boy who listens to his momma’s. I do well with other dogs, but sometimes I get too excited and might play rough. My mom’s are constantly watching me and making sure I know boundaries and once I learn them, I’m often very good at listening to them!“

  — Brittnie L.

• “hi, my name is akamaru and I’m a big boy in a small body. I love sniffing and running, I tend to have zoomies when I’m really happy. Ils love to see more dogs but I’m kinda scared since I had bad experiences in the passed, that really stress me out but arround calm dog I’m ok. I’m a fast learner and I love to run and jump everywhere. I’m a very very big food lover too. If you have food, I’ll beg for it“
