Description
Dog Breed: Akita / German Shepherd Dog (short coat). Courtesy Post – Rehoming Needed This dog is not at the shelter. Meet Ash – a sweet and playful 8-month-old female Akita/German Shepherd mix (white, tan, and black). ✔️ Spayed/Neutered: No ✔️ Vaccines: Current ✔️ Potty trained: Yes ✔️ Crate trained: Yes Ash was rescued from a tough situation and has been with her family for the past 6 months. Unfortunately, due to housing challenges, they are no longer able to keep her. Ash is a friendly, affectionate puppy who enjoys spending time with people and is good with children. She has lived with other dogs and is playful and social. While she hasn’t lived with cats, she has shown friendly behavior toward them. As a young, active mix of working breeds, Ash will do best with a family who can provide training, exercise, and structure as she grows. She is already crate and potty trained, making her a great start for someone ready to continue her care and development. If you are interested in adopting Ash, please contact her owner, Branin, directly: Phone: (916) 509-6842 Email: braninmartinyahoo All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered.

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.
