Affectionate Akita Araki seeks lifelong companion

A 7-year-old Akita named Araki is looking for a permanent home after arriving at ARK due to family circumstances. With the bold and calm traits typical of his breed, he takes time to warm up but forms strong bonds once trust is earned.

Araki, a 7-year-old Akita born in late 2018, arrived at ARK just months ago amid difficult family circumstances and is now seeking a loyal, long-term companion.

Lovely, strong, and handsome, this dog embodies the boldness and calm often associated with Akitas. He is initially cautious with new people, taking time to assess them, which is typical of the breed.

Araki will look you straight in the eye, as if asking, “Are we friends forever or just for today?” Once you're in his trusted circle, however, he shows boundless energy for play and soaks up all the attention and affection offered.

He adores walks and is extremely gentle on the leash—no pulling, just tugging at the heartstrings. Adopting a standout like Araki could turn heads on outings while providing a devoted partner. ARK continues to facilitate adoptions for dogs in need.
