Thanks all!! We confirmed this evening that we will be able to pick him up at noon on Friday. He had his surgery today (neuter) and all went well.
DD, As for the breed... not sure lol. They say GSDx. I think he may be part Akita just from the coloring, partially curled tail and the thick/soft fur. I has an Akita when I was younger and he reminds me a bit of him, though the eyes/ears are completely different.
Mirela, Leonberger... interesting! I hadn't thought of that. You just don't see them around here very often. But that banding does look like it could be. Although brindle Akitas tend to have that same banding. Whatever he is, he's adorable
