Story
Zara is a one-year-old Akita known for her high energy and friendly nature. She has experience living harmoniously with other dogs, cats, and young children, all of whom she gets along with well. Zara would thrive in a home with access to a secure outdoor space where she can run and play freely, as well as an owner committed to providing her with regular walks and exercise. As a large-breed dog, she does experience some shedding and will benefit from consistent grooming. No rehoming fee. We just want Zara to be welcomed into the perfect home!
