About Akiva

Meet Akiva!

Akiva is a gentle little soul with a heart full of sweetness and a curiosity that quietly peeks out as she learns the world is a safe place. She can be nervous when first meeting new people or experiencing new environments, often taking a moment to observe before deciding she’s ready to step forward. Once she does, her soft eyes and tender personality make it impossible not to fall in love.

Akiva enjoys exploring at her own pace, sniffing around and discovering small joys, especially when she knows someone kind is nearby cheering her on. Like many puppies, Akiva is still learning the basics of life. Her future family should be ready to guide her through house training, impulse control, and gentle redirection from mouthing, all with patience and positivity.

She will thrive with ongoing socialization, calm encouragement, and confidence-building experiences that help her blossom. Brain games, enrichment toys, and supervised chews will help keep her mind busy while she grows. Akiva would do best in a home that understands puppies need time, consistency, and reassurance. Supervised, positively rewarding interactions with children and adult dogs will help her continue to build trust.

With love and gentle guidance, Akiva is sure to grow into a devoted, thoughtful companion who brings quiet joy to her forever home!
