What the charity does

We aim to get as many Akitas in danger into safe kennels and ultimately into new forever homes. Our objective is to help, rescue where necessary, rehabilitate and rehome any Akita which needs it, through assessing both dog and potential owners, to ensure a well-matched and long lasting, happy relationship.
