Did you know that ...
Since 2009, Akita Angels has helped thousands of families who have given up on their Akitas. When we have the opportunity to intervene, we significantly reduce the number of Akitas that are surrendered. We strive to provide a better understanding of the breed and its unique temperament and traits. This helps forge a stronger level of commitment from owners, and creates a better relationship between dog and family. Quite simply, each dog we help remain in the home is one fewer dog that ends up in a public animal shelter, rescue, or unnecessarily euthanized.
Akita Angels provides unlimited, 100% no-cost support to families with Akitas through:
- Education about the breed and responsible Akita ownership
- Intervention through behavior modification/training
- Integration with human family members and other pets
- Breed-specific advice in the areas of diet/nutrition
- Referrals to breed-experienced resources
- Support of other Akita rescues and Animal Advocacy Organizations
- Transport (short or long distance) of Akitas from shelters to safe-havens
- Promotion of why one should consider Adopting (vs. "buying") an Akita.
- Spay/neuter/vaccinations/microchipping
- Support of public animal control agencies, Humane Officers and law enforcement with the investigation & prosecution of people committing abuse of animals of any breed or species.
- Organizing food and supply drives for other Akitas rescues or Akita Sanctuary Dogs.
