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.

✨ Meet Xena (aka Be**er)! ✨
This 2-year-old long coat Akita is pure serenity in fur form. 🩷 Xena loves peaceful walks, quiet evenings, and quality time with her human bestfriend

She’s potty trained, doesn’t chew, and has a truly calming demeanor.

Because she’s a sensitive quiet soul, Xena would do best in a home without young children, though she’d be perfectly happy sharing her love with older, respectful kids.

✅UTD on vaccinations
✅Chipped
✅Spayed
✅On prevention

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

Xena is located in Willis MI

Amika here.
I went to the vets today and I was a very good girl. I got lots of treats from all the girls. I even tried to crawl into the vets lap. I left lots of Akita tinsel all over her scrubs so she would remember me.

I’m all set for all my vaccinations for another year. Had a thing called a heart worm test and it was negative.
I’m searching for a FUN adopter with lots of toys and Jolly Balls for me too play with. They also need to have dirt. I love to play in the dirt.
I got my weight at the vets office and they called me a petite little thing at 72 pounds

I’m

** about 18 months old
** spayed
** current on all vaccinations
**chipped
** housebroken
** crate trained, I love my crate
** on prevention
** well mannered in the house

Akita experience required

She needs to be an only
No cats

Some adoptions are more heart felt than others. Mozzarella, AKA Rella AKA Cheese, came to us broken, but with unwavering patience and love, her foster family empowered her transformation.

Today, we rejoice in celebrating the adoption of Rella after 26 months in foster care.

Thank you, Fay, for embracing this special girl with an open heart and home. Your patience and devotion are truly inspiring.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this moment to say Happy Gotcha Day Rella! Here’s to a future filled with happiness, love, and unbridled joy. 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️
