Description
Dog Breed: Akita (short coat). Adoption Fee: 250. Alice is a loving, loyal, and playful dog who is reserved with strangers but warms up to them quickly. She came to the ranch at the start of 2023 and has been awaiting a forever home ever since. Once Alice opens up to you, she is a big mush who loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. She is a smart dog who is eager to please and very attentive. She loves to play and run around the exercise yard, but also enjoys taking it easy and lounging around. Alice would do best in a home where she is the only dog and without cats. She is food motivated and will do anything for a treat!

Overview:
The Akita is a majestic and powerful breed originating from the mountainous regions of Japan, initially bred for hunting large game like bears and wild boar. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their substantial size, typically weighing between 70-130 pounds, and their dense double coat, which comes in various colors including red, fawn, sesame, white, and brindle. They possess a distinctive curled tail and a broad, triangular head with small, erect ears. In terms of temperament, Akitas are known for being loyal, courageous, and often described as "cat-like" in their independence and fastidiousness. While deeply devoted to their families, they can be reserved and even wary of strangers, requiring early socialization to ensure a well-adjusted adult. Due to their strong prey drive and independent nature, they are generally not recommended for first-time dog owners and thrive with experienced handlers. They can be good family dogs for those who understand their need for personal space and consistent training, but their size and sometimes aloof nature make them less suitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Health-wise, the breed can be prone to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and autoimmune disorders like Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
