Abandoned at a boarding facility through no fault of her own, Akira quickly gained the affection of the staff, who stepped up to foster her. She’s enjoyed all the extra attention and toys, but nothing compares to having a true forever home. Weighing about 68 pounds, Akira is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. Her loving and resilient nature has shone through in spite of her situation—she remains exceptionally loyal and affectionate. With her playful spirit, she’s always ready for a game of tug or fetch, and she loves to gnaw on her pig ear treats. Akira knows sit, is potty trained, and is known for her affectionate, people-oriented temperament. She’s got plenty of energy for hiking adventures, yet is just as content cuddling on the couch afterward. Akira’s high-energy, confident play style means she’ll thrive as the only pet in a home without small children, cats, or small animals. She’ll do best with a family who understands her playful nature, can provide structure, and wants a loyal companion to make wonderful memories with. Fun fact: With a birthday in early January, Akira is a Capricorn—known for their steadfast, loving loyalty! After all she’s faced, Akira is more than ready for a family that will cherish her for life. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
