Meet Buffy and Angel — two inseparable, six-year-old Akita "sisters" whose favorite thing in the world is being together (well, besides sniffing every corner of the yard). These lovely ladies are everything you want in Akitas: gentle souls, a touch of silly independence, and way more sunshine than their serious expressions let on! Buffy is the cool, collected type; Angel is the classic calm companion. They walk beautifully on leash—side by side, of course!—and have impressed everyone when they were at the shelter with their polite hellos, easy-going attitudes, and quiet confidence. Buffy and Angel are spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and have impeccable manners. They’re housebroken and bring their own brand of Akita charm (read: a little aloof, a lot of loyal). Their ideal home? A loving family with breed experience who wants to double their daily delight. Buffy and Angel are each other’s rock — after a lifetime together, they’re a package deal, and we wouldn’t dream of splitting them up.
