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.

Please refer to the pet’s ID number when contacting SCRAPS with questions about one of the adoptable pets. If you are interested in this dog or any animal at SCRAPS, call (509) 477-2532 or come by the shelter 6815 E. Trent Ave. Spokane Valley. Dog adoptions are $87.04 and include spay or neuter, first set of vaccinations, health check, microchip and first year’s license.
