Rescue is not a road to fame and there is no glory to be gained by standing on the backs of abandoned Akitas. Your decision to rescue does not make you better than anyone else. A responsible rescuer makes certain their dogs are well socialized, adequately exercised, fed the best food and live in a clean, pest-free, well managed environment. Unlike breeders who know their dogs you have a constantly changing group of young and older adult dogs whose past experiences may cause erratic or dangerous behavior. The reputation of your breed depends on your ability to evaluate the dog and assess the potential home.
Responsible rescuers know the importance of each dog's daily interaction with people.
Without daily hands-on personal attention it's not possible to properly evaluate a rescued dog. Many abandoned dogs are untrained. That's easy to fix when you spend time with them. The act of training provides an excellent opportunity for evaluation. Dogs from shelters very often are victims of neglect, rarely receiving adequate veterinary care.
