ffirmed Mission:
• Northwest Akita Rescue is a 501c3 organization based in Washington State. We cover Washington, Oregon and Idaho and assist in rescues out of our area if possible. We are dedicated to fostering orphaned Akitas to rehabilitate and place them in Akita savvy, loving homes for the rest of their lives. We also offer support to Akita owners that need advice and help to keep their Akita in their home with them. We are not a placement service to help owners sell or place their dogs.
• We are a small group of family companion owners, Akita lovers and rescuers. We do not have a kennel facility to house owner-surrendered/abandoned Akitas. When we can foster dogs from shelters the orphans come into our homes with our own pets and people.
• If you are wanting to adopt we can help facilitate an adoption straight from a shelter to the new adopter. If you would like to be kept on a list for this possibility, please write to us at [email protected]. Having an approved application on file that we can share with a shelter is a big step to saving an Akita.
• If you are on our FB page because you can no longer keep your Akita and want help, please, take these first steps. o Contact the breeder you purchased your Akita from for help and guidance. Responsible breeders will be there for their dogs and willing to help. o If you adopted your Akita from a rescue, check your contract and see if there is a clause to return to that rescue if you cannot keep. NWAR does not allow any of our fosters that are adopted to be surrendered to rescues or shelters. o If all else fails and you MUST surrender your Akita, please, seek out your local shelter or humane society for instructions on surrendering. On behalf of Akita Rescues across the country, please, do everything in your power to keep your Akitas in your family and home with you. Sincerely,
Northwest Akita Rescue, Rescue Coordinators.
