WELCOME
We are a small group of like-minded volunteers with a passion for the Akita breed including the Japanese Akita Inu and a dedication towards their health and welfare.
We operate nationally and are totally self funded. All funds raised are directly put back into the rescue and used for the care, adoption and re homing of those Akitas in kennels under Second Chance Akita Rescue.
This boy is gorgeous and we desperately want to get him into a loving forever home. He’s had such a sad life and deserves true happiness. At 7 years of age he shouldn’t spend any longer living a life in a kennel and all alone.
Zeus recently came into our care as part of the large hoarding case relinquished to 8 Below.
What on Earth can we say about this chappie?
He’s adorable! Look at that cheeky smile. The smile that makes you smile as soon as you look at him. The smile that brightens your day as soon as you look at him. And, the smile that hides a sad past.
Zeus lived in a children’s play shed, staring out the windows waiting for someone to take notice of him 😢😢
We notice him and we love him…..loads!
DOG OF THE WEEK: Zeus
NEWS & UPDATES
Anyone considering owning this breed needs to know the hardships and difficulties that can come with owning them.
Proper raising, training and socialising is imperative to a well rounded and balanced dog. That said, understand that genetically predisposed behaviours cannot be "trained" out. You never train away genetics. You manage them. So while you may raise an Akita that grows intolerant to other animals, you can manage those behaviours and train the dog in a way that they don't become reactive, aggressive and dangerous.
