Before adopting out our beloved dogs, the Akita rescue first screens the family to make sure that the dog will be moving to a loving environment. The family must let us know:
 |
the hours they work |
|
children or not |
|
childrens' ages |
|
other animals/pets |
|
accommodations for the Akita |
|
the family lifestyle. |
Before making an Akita available for adoption, we live with the Akita for a month to discover its personality. We expose our Akitas to all things that a potential family might encounter. This includes, but is not limited to:
|
cats, other dogs and squirrels |
|
children |
|
car rides |
|
bicycles |
|
crates |
|
veterinary exams and grooming |
We make sure their health is as good as we can make it. We do some obedience training that will make the Akita more attractive to the potential family. This includes:
|
sitting on command |
|
coming |
|
walking on a leash |
Of course, the family must continue the training once the Akita is adopted as continued training is part of our contract.
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please fill out our adoption application.
