Australian Shepherd and Akita Dogs Available for Adoption in Dana Point, California

Nani (which means “gorgeous” in Hawaiian) is a stunning 2-year-old Australian Cattle/Akita mix with a one-of-a-kind merle coat as beautiful as her name. She is spayed, vaccinated, licensed, and has completed basic obedience training.

Nani is potty trained, crate trained, and knows both verbal and hand commands. She’s eager to please, incredibly smart, and loves learning—making her a joy to have in the home.

She enjoys her toys, treats, cozy beds, car rides, walks, and trips to the dog park. Nani is social and loving with everyone she meets. She adores other dogs, is gentle with children and seniors, and happily lives with three cats. She also loves beach adventures, meeting new friends, and swimming in the ocean.

Nani would thrive in a loving home with a secure yard where she can play and enjoy family life. Another dog would be a bonus, but not required.

Nani is a truly special girl searching for the wonderful family she deserves.
