Akita Advocates was started late in 2004 to help find homes for displaced Akitas. Since that time, we have rescued over 200 dogs and found new, loving homes for them. We are a very small group of dedicated volunteers for whom rescue is a full-time second job. However, we have a passion about helping dogs who cannot help themselves. AARTA is a non-profit organization. We are members of CABRA (Coalition of All Breed Rescue AZ), PACC911 (an umbrella organization that sets up adoption events throughout the county), and are recognized as one of ACA’s rescue groups (Akita Club of America).
AARTA's adoption process consists of completing an Adoption Application & Contract, an initial visit with your family and the Akitas, home visit and adoption fee. Everyone living with your new friend is required to meet the dog prior to placement to assure everyone's comfort, this includes other pets, particularly dogs. Dog to dog introductions are done on neutral ground so each can put their best paw forward and avoid common territorial issues. Our thorough process helps ensure all our Akita friends go into appropriate, safe, loving forever homes.
