Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Dora is a 4-year-old spayed American Akita who weighs around 63 lbs and is looking for a family who appreciates loyalty and affection in a furry companion. Her calm nature truly shines in busy environments, especially around children—she remains mellow even amidst noise and chaos, though she still deserves gentle handling and respect. Dora is extremely well housebroken, kennel trained, and loves her grooming routines, especially brushing. She’s exceptionally tolerant of nail trims and baths too! While initially reserved with new people, Dora forms deep bonds once she feels secure and will happily nap at your feet, even with company around. She is passionate about training sessions and thrives on both food and toy rewards, responding best to consistency and positive reinforcement. Dora is very keen to learn new tricks and has already mastered numerous commands, demonstrating remarkable intelligence and focus. She’s eager for continued training and socialization to help her build confidence and polish her skills. For safety, Dora should not interact with unfamiliar dogs—especially on leash—and she’s muzzle trained for those situations. She does not get along with cats or other dogs, but she adores outdoor time in a fenced yard and loves walks, though she’s generally a low-energy, relaxed dog who enjoys lounging with her person. Dora is available as a foster-to-adopt so her new family can continue growing and learning with her, ensuring she thrives in a structured home with consistent routine and loving boundaries. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
