Akira, Graceful Strength in Hindi, s a sweet-natured, smart and wonderfully curious little girl at 9 months of age. In her foster home, Akira has thrived with wonderful attention, training and praise. At a recent party, Akira showed herself to enjoy the presence of the other dogs and visiting children that day. She would like us to tell her new family that she needs a home with a patient and sensitive adopter, who will encourage her to learn and grow. In the short time in her foster home, Akira has shown herself to be a shining, bouncing playmate. She graduated her potty training in just under two weeks and enjoys seeing and getting to know the world around her. Akira loves to cuddle and make her handler happy. She also loves dog sleepovers as you can tell from the photos! She is looking to please and become part of a family forever.
