A question about my neighbor's Akita and my possible adoption of it.?

The first thing you need to do is talk to the neighbors about it. Be sure to make it clear that you're only interested in adopting him, not certain that you want him. If they say it's fine if you take him, then it's time for the next step: introducing the dogs. Put Thor on a leash and put Bear (it would be easier to do Bear first seeing as he seems to get along with Thor) on a leash as well. It would be best to do this in Thor's yard. You should probably hang onto Thor and have someone else hold onto Bear. Hold Thor still and have Bear walk past him (not within Thor's attack range) and see how Thor reacts. If he reacts positively, then you can bring them a bit closer and let them sniff each other from a few feet apart but with no direct contact. Again, if they react well to that, move closer. Let them sniff each other in direct contact. If they react well to that, let them off leash. If they react well to that, then it's time to remove Bear and bring Sugar in. Do the same with Sugar as you did with Bear. Make sure both dogs seem comfortable before bringing them closer. If its a success with Bear and Sugar, bring them both back in off leash. Its potentially dangerous, but if you're constantly watching them they should be fine. If they start to fight, you should catch them soon enough and be able to separate them. If all goes well, start introducing the people that will be in your home most. If that goes well, bring Thor into your yard on a leash. If all goes well, bring him inside your house on a leash, and of course, if it goes well, take him off leash. If that goes well, then you're ready to adopt him. Akitas are very unique and very tricky to work with, but with proper training and lots of love, they will make amazing pets. Good luck!
