Bee - Akita Dog for Adoption in Yorkville, Illinois

Bee is a 5-6 month old female Akita mix who came to us as a stray with her sister, Baz, and has not been reclaimed. Baz has left the building, but Bee is still here at the shelter looking for a home! She is a sweet, playful, active girl that gets along great with other dogs, and we believe she would be just fine with children. We were able to find out where she came from, and confirmed her mother is full Akita, and dad was reportedly a Shepherd mix (but we aren't sure about his exact mix). Bee's adoption fee is $175 and she is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be spayed prior to leaving the shelter. Please stop by the shelter to visit and adopt, or call/email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov

However, they require firm training and socialization to manage their dominant tendencies. With the right guidance and care, Akitas can be loving, devoted companions for experienced dog owners.
