So many great Akita photos to enjoy all year long while supporting a great organization. Not all of the months are shown on Esty, since they only allow 9 photos on the listing. Everyone should have made the calendar. My apologies that the calendar is late this year.

What's better than having one long coat Akita? Having two, naturally. Congratulations to Kathleen on the arrival of her second long coat Akita. Clara, the lighter-furred newcomer, has found a perfect match in Kathleen, complementing older brother Baloo, a MARS veteran, and terrier buddy Bowie. Warmest wishes to Clara on her adoption day. May Kathleen's life be enriched with love and companionship.

We are picking up two new orphans in need today, Amika and Jasper, two young Akitas bringing our total in house to 18 orphans. Between the kennels we use for boarding and our fosters we are at capacity and in need of some help for Food and Medical supplies.

As you are aware the situation is critical with the numbers being surrendered, abandoned or euthanized for space at this time so we are doing our best to help when and where we can.

I know times are difficult for everyone however if anyone can spare a few dollars to assist for the food and care, we could really use it right now. We of course could also use foster homes as that reduces the cost of kennel boarding.

Our PayPal address if [email protected] or checks can be send to Midwest Akita Rescue Society, 6538 N Nordica Ave., Chicago, Il 60631.

The 18 Akitas and all of MARS thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hello everyone my name is KoKo and I am four years old girl. I am absolutely in love with adventure; from a car ride to the park, a TJ Maxx trip, a drive thru, seeing new places to walk, and even days long road trips to hike.
I am the perfect companion. I recently learned how to swim and am very eager to show off my skills! I am adaptive, very gentle natured and also happy to be a cuddly couch potato after a short walkie and snuggle with a movie and snacks.
I like to be the center of attention and love groups of people even to pet me. I'm full of so much love and life left for our next adventure

I’m current on all vaccinations and on prevention. They are telling me I’m getting spayed soon and getting something called a chip.

Akita experience is required
Kids over 8 please
May be able to live with a large male dog with proper introduction
Unknown around cats
Has a chicken allergy

Koko is located in the Lansing MI area

How Blue is still an orphan is mind blowing. He deserves a home and to be the center of someones world. He knows basic commands, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date on preventions.
Blue loves every person he meets, older kids required due to his size. He is 10 months old and about 80 pounds. Please apply to meet him!! Share his post! He should not be growing up in a kennel with a face and personality like his.
Blue needs to be an only pet, but is respectful in passing by other dogs.
Akita experience is required

If you are interested in Blue or any of our other orphans please fill out an application

Blue is located in the Monroe MI area

Gypsy is looking for a soft couch to call her own for the holidays.

Gypsy was found this a stray in the Detroit area. She is said to be. about 3 years old. She is easy to walk and responds well to the few commands she’s already learned. Sit, down, come and no.
She loves to play and seeks human interaction and affection. She loves car rides, but favors the front seat over the back. When confined to the backseat, she likes to lick the drivers ears to get attention and permission to come forward.
If you are looking for your new best buddy that is definitely a velcro dog, look no further.

Gypsy prefers to be an only.

She is up to date on all vaccinations and has been spayed.

Akita experience is required.
It is unknown how she is with cats.
children over 8 please
