Storm, Akita
Storm is a female Akita dog currently residing at Midwest Akita Rescue Society-Chicago.
She is already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed.
More about Storm:
Storm is my name and being mellow is my game. I was named Storm because the nice people from MARS drove through very stormy weather to pull me from a shelter in Manhatten Kansas right before it flooded from all the rain. I'm 2 years old, walk nicely on a leash, love treats and take them nicely. I know sit and down, but my down usually ends up as rollover and belly rub.
