Akira

Akira is a 6 year old female weighing 15 pounds.

She is loving, affectionate and playful.  She is very friendly and loves everyone, even kids and cats.

She loves cuddling, being near you and playing with toys. 

She is good with other dogs and would also be good as an only dog. She would prefer one or two buddies instead of a whole pack. 

Akira is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day (at mealtime) and doesn’t mind them at all. Diabetes is easily controllable and not an expensive illness to manage. The insulin she is on costs $25 a bottle (at Walmart) and will last her about 5-6 weeks. A box of 100 needles costs just under $20 at Publix. Most vets like to check glucose levels once or twice a year once a dog is regulated (which she is), that would be something a family could discuss with their vet. We are happy to cover the cost of a visit to one of our partner vets to help her new family get comfortable with handling a needle. 

She is a very happy and beautiful little girl and would love a family to call her own.
