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.

Welcome to the newest addition, the incredible Mr. Jack Sparrow, also known as Jacks.

He was rescued from the streets and taken in by the compassionate team at Indianapolis Animal Care Services, who have given him a second chance at a happy life.

Approximately one year old, Jacks is a sweet and endearing individual with so much love to give. Although he requires some time to adjust and settle, he is ready to embark on a new journey with his forever family.

Key details about Jacks include:
neutered
microchipped
up-to-date on vaccinations
heartworm-negative
on prevention
undergoing potty training.

However, his compatibility with other dogs and cats is unknown.

The ideal home for Jacks would have experience with his breed,
children over eight years old, Jack would love a fenced yard where he can thrive.

Jacks is currently located in Oregon WI, waiting for his dream home.
If you are interested in adopting Jacks or any of our other amazing orphans, please submit an application.

✨ Meet Xena Beana! ✨
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

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

Kids over 8 please, because she loves to jump

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. 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️
