Meet Banita! She’s the classic aloof Akita at first, keeping her guard up until she decides someone is worth her time. Once she warms up, Banita’s playful and sassy personality starts to shine, and she’ll show glimpses of her spirited fun side. She’s considered a young senior and qualifies for the Permanent Senior Foster Program at ARSF, making her a great choice for someone looking to help an older dog thrive in her later years. Banita is spayed, has had a preventative stomach surgery (tacking), and is reliably crate trained for easy management at home. She’s in Jacksonville, Florida, and looking for a stable place to spend her golden years. Click apply to start the adoption process.
