Pound Dog Rescue Link

http://www.friendsofakitas.co.uk/

Every week numbers of Akitas end up in council pounds with only seven days to find a home before destruction. We aim to get as many of these Akitas as possible into ’safe’ kennels and ultimately into new forever homes.That’s not to say that we will only help ‘Poundies’. 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.
The Akita is a beautiful and striking breed, and people often seem surprised to hear that such a magnificent dog ends up in rescue, but it’s true. In the UK so far this year 105,068 stray dogs have been collected, with 7,892 of these dogs being put to sleep (Stray Dogs Survey, 2007, The Dogs Trust) The percentage of these that are Akitas has not been established, but it is thought to be a significant figure.
