Whatever the reasons, rescue will carefully evaluate the dog's physical and emotional condition. Only those dogs deemed appropriate will be rescued and offered for placement to good homes. All Akitas who are placed through Rescue are spayed or neutered. The new owners are encouraged to learn as much as possible about the breed before obtaining the dog. In this regard, Rescue offers a variety of assistance through reading materials and personal consultation.
Close contact is maintained between the adoptive home and the Rescue after an animal is placed.
Usually, the animal settles in quickly and becomes a treasured member of the family.
