My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


This is Akita
She is a Siberian Husky
We took her in a couple months ago from someone that was trying to rehome her. We were told that she's good with kids, but unfortunately she is not.
She has bitten my toddler (did not break skin) with no warning growl. We've always been diligent with making our kids be respectful of the dogs space, but it's seems like being around small children gives her anxiety.

She is incredibly friendly with adults and is not reactive to strangers. She does well on a leash and is a great running partner! She's been such a sweet dog but it's just not a good fit for us.
The previous owners said she was updated on her shots but I don't have a lot of information, and have not been able to take her in to update her shots. For that reason I'm not asking a rehoming fee, but I will require proof that she will be going to a good home and will absolutely not be in a home with small children.
We have two cats that she does well with.
