Caesar is a very fun-loving, energetic 7-month-old purebred Akita.

He obeys well, plays great with people and other dogs and will do well with a family with teenage children. Caesar knows all his basic commands and even some tricks, including roll over, shake and high five as well as sit, come, stay and down.

He is a very big puppy and will be a large adult dog.

Caesar is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
