Since being turned in by her owner on 1/31/2026, this beautiful 1-year-old Labrador Retriever mix has been adjusting to shelter life. She can be a little shy at first and is sensitive about being touched on her head—but give her just a little patience and you’ll quickly see her walls melt away. Before you know it, she’s rolling over for belly rubs and soaking up all the love.

Akira is not yet spayed, but she is more than ready to find the safe, loving home she deserves.
