Thinking of adopting an Akita? 

First and foremost, adopting an Akita is a PERMANENT and LIFELONG commitment. It is not a casual arrangement or a pet for convenience. Listed below are links to help you decide if you have the proper environment, setting, temperament and are capable of providing a life-long home for an Akita. 

Remember also that Akitas bond very closely to their human families. It doesn't take long for them to understand that they are "home", even though they are confused about how they ended up as  orphans.
