About Akita

Akita is a charismatic Siberian Husky who’s a bundle of intelligence, energy, and humor—despite the misleading name. At just over 3 years old, she’s right at that sweet spot of adulthood, and weighs in at 65 lbs (though she’s working on dropping a few pounds for her South Florida beach life). She’s fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Akita is house trained, comfortably crate trained, walks well on a leash, and knows a handful of basic commands. This dog loves people and thrives in social settings. Akita gets along well with medium and large dogs, but isn’t a match for homes with cats—her prey drive makes that clear. She’s still learning life skills like not surfing counters for snacks and not bolting through open doors if opportunity knocks. Separation during meal times will make everyone happier as she learns your food is yours, not hers. Being a classic Husky, she’s quick on the uptake but loves to test boundaries; structure and consistent leadership are essential. Akita’s ideal adopters are Husky-savvy, active, and have secure homes and plenty of time for walks and training. She’s deeply loyal, playful, and full of ideas about how the day should go. If you’re familiar with the quirks and needs of Huskies, you’ll appreciate her big personality and agility. Fun fact: her birthday makes her a Taurus—steady, loyal, and famously stubborn.
