My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Okami is one of FOUR American Akitas that came to us in December. He is a large, strong and very athletic boy. Okami is very people friendly and his whole body wiggles when you give him attention. He doesn't have any manners and is not housebroken so he will need an experienced adopter to show him the ropes. Okami is dog reactive and although he has cohabitated with other dogs, he is most likely best as an only dog or can be adopted with Nori. Due to his size, exuberance and lack of training, this dog is not suitable for children.

At City of Vancouver Animal Services, we have a foster-to-adopt program whereby prospective new owners foster the adoptable animal for 21 days before committing to adoption. This ensures that both the new owner and the adoptable animal are well suited to each other.

Adoption Fee $374
Includes:
-Spay/Neuter
-First set of shots
-One vet visit
-Microchip
-Bag of food

If you live in Vancouver, you will also need to buy a dog license.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
