**A BIG FLUFFY YELLOW DUCK, A HELICOPTER OR A MUSICIAN?**

Close, but no cigar—Huey is our latest orphan who just happens to be a big fluffy Akita, with a tail, that when wagging, looks like a rotor on a helicopter, and a boy who can woo ‘n roll with the best of them.

This handsome dude was a stray, who found himself in a shelter outside of Chicago. Lucky for Huey one of the Animal Control Officers is a friend of MARS. And, once again our friends at Mal Rescue offered to help. Huey was so happy to see their volunteer, he gave her ‘keeter kisses during the entire ride from the shelter to the kennel!

“Wait until you see the new Akita boy. He is something. You can't help but go crazy over him. Great personality.”

Huey didn’t even mind going to see the Vet. While being examined and groomed, he wowed them all with his easy going style. And now that he has been "styled", with a good wash and fluff, he looks like a rock star. (Huey is waiting for his photo shoot, so check back for his after pictures)

This fluffy guy is a big boy, and strong. Huey is approximately 2 years-old and while he is wonderful, we don’t think anyone ever spent much time teaching him the ropes, so obedience training is definitely in his future. Huey is neutered, heartworm negative and now current on vaccinations. If you would like to find out for yourself whether our Huey has more in common with a duck, helicopter or musician please contact Deanna O’Brien at marsakita@sbcglobal.net or 773-594-9302.
