Thanks for your interest in a rescue Akita.
NOTE: Due to a lack of foster space, we are not listing any dogs other than Tanner at the moment. However, if you are interested in getting a rescue Akita, please contact us. We network with other rescue groups, and dogs are constantly being give up. We can help you find a dog that will suit your needs.
These dogs have not been evaluated by Heart of Dixie, nor is Heart of Dixie Akita Rescue directly involved in their placement. Heart of Dixie Akita rescue can make no statement about their health, temperament or any other issues that might affect their suitability for placement, or the type of environment which would best suit their needs. They are listed because they are dogs in need of homes, and in the hope that someone may see them and have a place for them. Please contact the person listed directly for additional information and current status of this dog, as any arrangments for these dogs will be made with the named caretaker.

Tanner is a very sweet and easy going older male who was surrendered to the shelter by his owner. He does not appear to be aggressive toward people or other dogs, so could work in a multi-pet household. When he was brought home from the shelter, he immediately hit it off with the resident yard pack - an old Siberian female and two young mixed breeds, one male, one female. It is unknown how he would react to cats, and has not been observed around small children. He is a light fawn with a black mask and white markings. Tanner is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on his vaccinations. He needs a permanent, loving home with an owner who will give him the training and attention he needs and deserves. He is available for immediate placement to an approved adopter.
