Midwest Akita Rescue Society (MARS) is an all volunteer 501(c)(3)

group of concerned individuals that felt that they could
assist orphaned and in need Akitas residing in the Midwestern
region of the United States. We were originally an arm of the
Akita
Owners Rescue Foundation, Inc and later enveloped our mother organization and are now

Akita Owners Rescue Foundation. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization
dedicated to helping Akitas and we depend
entirely on tax-deductible donations to continue this work.The
purpose of this organization is to rescue, medically treat,
rehabilitate and re-home abandoned, relinquished or
otherwise homeless Akita dogs. We service the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa,
Missouri and Minnesota as well as parts of Kentucky and Kansas.

Loki says who turned on the heat?🐾🥵

🐶❤️🐾Loki is currently going through training at Baxter's K9 Complex

He is working on “place”, “stay” and maintaining eye contact.
He knows “sit”, “wait” and “leave It”
Walks well on a leash
No cats or small dogs
Maybe a large female with proper introduction
He is neutered
UTD on vaccines
Current on prevention
He is about a year old.
He loves stuffies and loves to play.
He takes treats so gently.
I even occasionally get an Akita belly to scratch.

This sweet and silly boy loves to hang out. He would love to go on a hike with you and then sleep on your couch. Once he trusts you, he is very loving and has mastered the akita lean.

🐾Loki has spent nearly his whole life in a shelter.
HE HAS NEVER LIVED IN A HOME‼️

So he needs a hero who will take him into their home and teach him how to be a dog. He needs someone who will be patient and give him time, love and understanding.

Who will be Loki’s hero?

Loki is located in the St Louis area

Akita experience is required

The ultimate in kindness are our foster families. They open their doors to homeless pets and give them unconditional love. They feed, house and socialize them. These folks don’t ask questions about size or color, about bloodlines or breeding. They simply see the eyes of an animal needing their help. What generosity. Fosters: we salute you.
