Tundra didn't get the best start to life, which is very sad for an Akita, since connection to family is so important for the them. She was underweightand in some pain, but has responded to better diet and care. She is looking good now!True to the breed standard, Tundra is dignified, independent and aloof to strangers, but has a silly playful side once she gets to know you, especially when a krinkly or squeaky stuffy is involved. She is a phenomenal leash walker (no pulling or weaving) and does well on trail, even when off leash dogs approach her on a hike. That said, while neutral, she does not enjoy the companionship of other dogs. Unlike many of the dogs here, Tundra L.O.V.E.S. CAR RIDES. You will be the star wherever you drive with this looker sticking her majestic head out the window. Her advocate even bought her a pair of hot pink `doggles` to protect her beautiful brown eyes from high winds. Frankly, you'll be the star wherever you go with Tundra--she's just that mesmerizing. At a recent bath at Lemo's, staff and customers were admiring her looks (obvi) but by what a calm girl she was during her bath. And if Tundra had to pick a favorite thing besides crinkly toys, BRUSHING…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
