Akira is an Akita mix available for adoption at the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service shelter. The Akita is a working breed that originated in Japan and is one of the seven breeds designated as a national monument in Japan. His beautiful plush tail that curls over his back is characteristic to the breed. Shelter workers say Akira is strong, powerful and independent – and appears to be very trainable and would benefit from training classes.
