ARSA (Akita Rescue Society of America, Inc)
was founded in 1976 by a small group of Akita fanciers who
recognized the need to assist abandoned Akitas. The breed has grown
and with it, the need for rescue has increased. Individuals and
groups throughout the country have become involved in rescue work.
The constant need for money to fund the work has become a
responsibility of the Akita Club of America’s Rescue Committee and
is supported by the club’s membership.
Akitas are lucky to have so many people looking after their welfare
but ARSA has always believed educating the public can prevent much
of the terrible suffering endured by purebred dogs, including
Akitas. This website exists to provide information about health,
behavior and finding a reputable breeder. Before you decide that an
Akita is the breed for you, read the
“Facts About Akitas.”
I have worked with Akitas for over 26 years. I will always love
these dogs and wish all of them safe, permanent, happy homes. I
encourage you to educate yourself well before you make a commitment
to one of these magnificent dogs. Join the many Akita lists, the
local Akita clubs, and the Akita Club of America. Get to know the
people who know the breed.
Find a reputable
breeder!

Last year, a group of dedicated rescue volunteers in Southern
California took on 56 Akitas
rescued from a nightmare situation at a kennel in
Palmdale, California. These dogs became
known as the
Palmdale Akitas.
All but one Akita found loving homes. It is shocking that a
lovely young female,
with excellent temperament is still waiting for a
permanent home. Visit
Maggie Mae's web page and see if you can fall in love
with this Akita. It will
be hard not to!
