Hello and huge warm, furry welcome!

I am sure your ideal bear will find you when your ready, there is something wonderfully rewarding when you do adopt an akita. We've re-homed two bears through the JAWT, Jess, a wonderful ole dear who sadly passed away last July and Amber, litter sister to Grace, Keisha and Noah who I'm sure will be along soon.

Good luck!

Steph, Amber and Diego (our other 'kita!)

As a grown up I can tell you that as long as the dog you adopt is provided for both mentally and phyisically we DO NOT discriminate against working families, in fact most of us here dont have the luxury of not having to work and as a trust positively promoote working families as bills for health care insurance and food definately dont come cheap, "Most Akitas" enjoy their own company at times but also crave social interaction with humans, if your away for days at a time then obviously no pet is really suited but for the period you work an akita can be ideal...... dont tell my two but their actually really lazy dogs that love to sleep curle up by the door waiting for me to come home, your situaton is assesed ery fairly purely upon merit, flats, workers, single people etc....as long as you can prove to us you have the dogs best interests at heart and a long term provision for its care then you will have no problems here. ps im the grumpy one they talk about

Grumpy one LOL

As for the first few words Rob - "as a grown up" I would dispute that statement

Nice to hear that working isn't an instant reason for rejection. We're definitely doing our homework finding out all we can about the breed, and the more I read the more I think an Akita would be a good fit for us. Thank you for the welcome, you're all really helpful

Hello! and welcome to jawt! Fabulous to hear you are thinking about rescuing an Akita, I promise you they will not disappoint.

I think I recognise you from another forum Did you see the video I crossposted on their by any chance?

Yes thats me! Did see the video, just commented on it actually

Yes I just noticed that! Lovely

Stick around here and ask away about any of the dogs, we have lots of susperstars on the rehoming page.

I'm reading through all the past threads and FAQs which are answering a lot of my questions, but I'm sure I'll have lots more to ask

Hi and big welcome to jawt.

You will not regret being owned by one of these dogs.

Im not sure who is based in kings lyn or that area - my geography is crap! but if we do have any members near they will shout up and you will be welcome to join them and meet their furbaby im sure!
