******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************
We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.
Akira, a 5 year old spayed female, Staffordshire mix, 62lbs. She is in foster home in Houston, TX and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up!
Gorgeous girl Akira is looking for an active family to call her own! This high energy pup loves her walks and to play in the yard. She is still learning not to pull, but listens and follows commands well when out and about. After her days on the streets, she’s a bit of a scavenger and will try to eat any “found” treats outside or indoors.
Akira does take some time to warm up to new people and dogs. Once she knows she can trust you, you’ll have a friend for life! She’ll need slow introductions to visitors and seems to prefer male pups. She has done well around the children she’s met, but because of her energy level, we do recommend older, dog savvy kids. Her foster mom believes she would like to have another dog friend in her new home, and a well balanced pup could help Akira learn to feel safer in the world.
This smartie is house and kennel trained too! Akira is nervous in the car, but with time and training, we hope she’ll learn that she’s not going to be left behind ever again. Akira may not have had the best start in life, but we’re so excited to see her thriving in a loving forever home!
***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***
