Story
Akira, she is a 2 year old spayed female American Akita (around 95 lb) looking for a new home. She is a beautiful and wonderful dog that gets along well with other dogs; lives with two male boxers currently. She has very good manors, is a very quick learner, and easily trained with treats. Walks very well with both of my other dogs / does not pull at all on leash. Absolutely loves the winter and any activity in the snow. Does well with grooming, allows nails to be ground and enjoys being brushed. She loves car rides and going places like parks or to the pet store. Ideally, she should be with an owner who is also very active and/or has large fenced yard for exercise. Looking for adopter with experience with Akita or other active working breed dogs.
