About Akira

Meet Akira, a delightful 5.5-year-old spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier mix currently in a foster home in Houston, TX. Weighing in at 60 lbs, Akira is large in size but believes she's a tiny lap dog at heart. Once on the euthanasia list, she has patiently waited for nearly nine months for her forever home and we can’t quite understand why. With her short black coat and sweet puppy eyes, Akira is a real love bug who is fully crate-trained and knows her basic commands. She spends her days lounging on a comfy dog bed, and when it’s walk time, she’s ready to go! Akira enjoys chewing on bones and playing with stuffed toys, showing off her playful side. Akira gets along well with calm, submissive dogs, but she dreams of being the only pup in a home where she can be the center of attention. She adores people and is poised to give her new best friend a lifetime of unconditional love. This big-hearted girl is waiting to meet someone special. If you think you could be the one for Akira, take the first step in the adoption process today!
