About Elli
Elli is a sweet Akita with all the classic traits of the breed: independent, aloof and wonderfully stubborn, enjoying affection on her own terms. She came in as a stray and arrived very overweight, so will need help continuing her fitness journey at a steady pace. She loves balls and soft toys, accepts grooming and enjoys a calm, predictable routine. She has food-guarding behaviours and must be fed separately and left undisturbed while eating. She needs an adult-only, pet-free home with owners who understand the breed.
