My story

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

Meet Lainey, a 12-week-old Akita puppy who is equal parts adorable and warrior. This little fluffball has been through a lot in her short life - she was rushed to emergency care when part of her intestine slipped inside another. During the surgery, the vets had to remove a small section, but this brave girl has bounced back to being the playful pup she was meant to be!

Lainey is your typical puppy - playful, curious, and full of love. She adores her toys, naps and snuggling with her favourite humans. But like all young pups, she’s still learning the ropes, so she’ll thrive with a routine, positive reinforcement and plenty of encouragement as she masters basic training, house manners, and gains confidence.

Now let’s talk about Akitas – because while Lainey is undeniably adorable, Akitas are not your average beginner dog. They are incredibly loyal, intelligent, and affectionate with their families – they’re also strong-willed, independent, and naturally reserved with strangers. This means Lainey needs an experienced owner with strong leadership skills who can provide consistent training, proper socialization and set clear boundaries to help her grow into her full potential as an adult dog.

Lainey is looking for a home that understands and appreciates the Akita spirit. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, beautiful puppy, and you can provide a loving home with patience, structure, and commitment – this could be the perfect match. Visit www.teamdogrescue.ca/adoptables.
