Brownie

Meet Brownie, a stunning and affectionate six-and-a-half-year-old American Akita from Ramona, CA, whose sass and sweetness make her truly one of a kind! With her cream-colored coat and striking dark facial markings, Brownie turns heads wherever she goes—but it’s her personality that will steal your heart.

Brownie is the perfect mix of independent and cuddly. Most of the time, she’s content lounging around like a queen, but when the mood strikes, she’ll burst into playful energy, especially if a good game of tug-of-war is on the table! She’s lived her whole life indoors, preferring the comfort of a cozy bed or couch—she even shares the bed with her humans! True to her Akita nature, she’s incredibly loyal and protective of “her people,” making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for both a loving friend and a natural guardian.

She adores children and has done great in a family setting, but she prefers to be the only pet in the home. While she’s not aggressive, she has a strong protective instinct and doesn’t like to share attention, especially when it comes to cuddles. Brownie is friendly with strangers once she knows they’re welcome, but don’t be fooled—her bark and deep howl will make anyone crossing the street think twice before approaching!

Brownie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and generally well-behaved. She knows how to sit, but like many Akitas, she has a stubborn streak and appreciates things on her own terms. She does well when left alone for short periods, though if she hasn’t been taken out beforehand, she might have an accident. Regular walks and a fenced yard will keep her happy, and while she doesn’t overeat, her new family should be comfortable maintaining her free-feeding routine.

She’s not a fan of nail trims, but who is? Other than that, she’s low-maintenance and just looking for someone who will love her as much as she loves her people! Could Brownie be the devoted, sassy companion you’ve been looking for? Reach out today to learn more about bringing this lovable girl into your home!
