Meet Katana the Akita! She's beauty, she's grace, and she's a VERY well behaved lady. Katana has shown us that she knows commands like sit, she's super gentle, and she's very laid back when hanging with her humans. She was surrendered by her previous owner on 4/20/24, and she's now looking for an Akita-experienced owner to be her companion for life. She's available for adoption at ACCT philly. You can meet her any day from 10am-6pm.

She was very easy and patient for leashing, very calm and pretty low energy. She walks nicely, no pulling at all. Knows sit and does little tippy tappies with her paws when she waits for the treats after! Super gentle taking treats out of my hand. Took some pets but not overly affectionate. Laid back, most interested in treats. I threw a ball and she got super playful for a second then lost interest. Most interested in sitting and chilling by me! Per Staff 4/22/24: Katana was at the front of the kennel with soft eyes and a neutral body. She sniffed the leash and then allowed me to reach in and leash her easily. No issues returningKatana was friendly in the room ad fairly easy to handle! She would trot around and explore and ignored us at first when calling to her. After some time she began to approach when called and came over with soft eyes and a relaxed body. She allowed em to pet her head, back, sides and touch her feet without any issues. She did not lean in much and preferred to do her own thing but remained calm and tolerant for all petting. She also showed interest in treats but would not take any. Showed knowledge of sit. Remained calm and greeted when a new handler entered the room as well ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week.
