Sweet Senior Alert! Meet Cara, the 10-Year-Old Akita Still Full of Life and Love ❤️

Cara, a gorgeous 10-year-old Akita, was found as a stray and brought to Animal Friends of the Valleys on 9/3/25. With her frosted crème face and fluffy red-and-cream coat, she’s the kind of dog who instantly turns heads. While she was nervous at first—understandably, after finding herself in a crowded shelter—she’s since relaxed and shown everyone just how affectionate, gentle, and smart she really is.

Why She’s the Ultimate Golden-Hearted Senior
✨ Knows her basics: sit and shake on command
🐾 Well-behaved and housebroken
🦮 Easy to walk, with just a little pull when she’s excited
💖 Loves pets, compliments, and gentle affection
🌟 Tons of energy for her age and a joyful spirit that shines

What She’s Looking For
✔️ A loving family who values the wisdom and calm of a senior dog
✔️ Someone who will cherish her golden years and keep her active but comfortable
✔️ A patient adopter who understands she may need a little extra reassurance after her shelter stay

Cara may have a frosted muzzle, but her heart is overflowing with love and loyalty just waiting to be shared. At 10 years old, she deserves to spend her golden years in a home filled with kindness, not a kennel. Could you be the one to give this sweet senior the forever family she’s been dreaming of? Come meet Cara at Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar, CA (ID #792774)—she’s ready to melt your heart today! 🐕✨
