My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ayla is a sable and white, 2-year old female, Akita, and maybe Norwegian Elkhound Mix. She weighs 51-pounds and her Shelter Animal ID is A347152.
 
This girl is darling! She does this happy little dance then sits close by your side to show you she is ready for her walk!

She has this marvelous independent side; she can do her own thing or sit quietly by your side. She’s gentle when asking for your attention and affection, she will put her head in your lap, nudge your hand and look at you with her big soft brown eyes!

This girl may not fetch or play with toys but she’s smart, energetic and knows some of her commands like the back of her paws! She’s very treat motivated, a little stubborn, but teaching her new things will be a whole lot of fun and once she knows a command she knows it! 

In doggie playgroup, she can get overstimulated by dogs with too much energy, that run around and get into her face. Ayla has a very soft personality and gets overwhelmed in doggie playgroups. She has this personal space bubble around her that she prefers dogs to stay clear of and she will let them know it.

She has met with a gentle, neutered male dog and after a very slow introduction she was willing to mingle with him. Ayla would need a new home where she is the only dog or may do well with sharing a home with a small, gentle, easy-going, confident, male dog.

Ayla has this sweet soft side but can also be aloof and independent, so we are not recommending young children at this time.

We would love to see this magnificent, smart, inquisitive, energetic, silly, and yes... stubborn beauty in a home that will appreciate and love her unique and wonderful personality!

More about this rescue

TikiHut Akita Rescue Association (TARA) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, animal welfare and education organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of orphaned Akitas and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California.

Our group is comprised of volunteers, enthusiasts and foster homes. The members in our organization have come together because of the passion we share for the Akita breed. Our breed is respected and treated as royalty in their native Japan, but here in this country, so many of them sit alone in the local shelters, waiting to die. Each of our members (and their families), work tirelessly to save the many Akitas that end up in these shelters.

In addition to finding new homes and families for these wonderful dogs, we also dedicate our efforts to educating the public about the breed, including but not limited to, the importance of spaying and neutering, proper nutrition, behavior and training information and the genetic issues plaguing our breed.

Each Akita we bring into our program undergoes a thorough health exam, is spayed or neutered, brought up to date medically, and is worked with for basic obedience and socialization. We crate train all our pups and put them through basic puppy classes. All our dogs are microchipped before they are adopted.

The Akitas we take in come from all walks of life. Some have been abused and neglected and some have come from well known breeders. It is a huge misconception that all dogs that come from rescue are all problem dogs. We have seen some of the most wonderfully tempered Akitas come out of these shelters and we hope we can give many more a second chance at the life they never had.
