A little about them
Meet Akira, a sweet 5.5-year-old Staffordshire mix who weighs 60 pounds and is ready to find her forever person. Rescued from the euthanasia list with only minutes to spare, she has been patiently waiting for a loving home.
Akira is a big love bug who enjoys lounging, cuddling, gentle treats, walks, bones, and stuffed toys. She adores people and would happily be your one-and-only companion, though she enjoys calm, submissive dogs.
Ideal Home
Akira would thrive with someone looking for a loyal, affectionate companion. She can live as the only dog or with calm, submissive pups.
Ongoing Health
Akira is spayed and vaccinated. Her listed breed and age are estimates based on available information and veterinary recommendations.
