Description:
Tora is a beautiful brindle/white spayed female who is outgoing and friendly. She is an obedience school graduate.  Here is her story:  Armac was contacted about this brindle female in a shelter, but then told she was adopted.  Not long after, a second shelter in the same area contacted us about a brindle female akita who was turned in to them.  And yes it was the same female.  A young man, living with his father, adopted her without consulting his dad, who did not want a dog.  He turned Tora in to the second shelter after his father nixed the dog idea.  The second shelter was close to where one of our adopters lived.  He volunteered to foster Tora.  His older male decided he did not want to share with this new dog.  She was placed in a home with lots of kids and a small dog.  She behaved well in her new home until another neighborhood child came over and accidently let both dogs out.  Her companion saw another small dog being walked and went over and started an spat.  Tora jumped in, and the new owners, who had been looking for them, arrived very quickly and it was ended.  But, Tora was returned to Armac, since the new owners could not guarantee this would not occur again.  The foster home's dog was not happy to see Tora, so while the family was out, she was kept in an outdoor run.  She, deprived of what she felt to be her rightful place inside was not happy.  The foster contacted Armac and we decided it would be best for all if Tora was put elsewhere.  She is currently residing at a boarding kennel, awaiting her forever home.
