How to Adopt an Akita


    To start the adoption process please print out and
    complete an application, scan it and return it to us via
    e-mail at apassionforpaws@gmail.com .




    After we receive your adoption application, and it’s
    been reviewed; you will then be contacted by email.

    All applicants will be required to complete an
    additional adoption contract. Our adoption contract is
    included below for your review.

     

    Out of Area Adoptions:  Persons living a few hours
    away are welcome to adopt, but must be prepared to
    provide their own transportation to visit the dog and
    pick up the dog. We do not ship dogs. Distance
    applicants must provide at least one letter of
    recommendation from a pet professional (i.e.:
    veterinarian, animal trainer, or local humane
    organization) on letterhead in addition to photos of
    your home and property that will show where the dog
    will be sleeping, fencing etc. We will also request a
    home visit from someone local to your area. ALL
    individuals and other dogs living in the household must
    participate in the adoption appointment to ensure
    compatibility. Transportation of dogs out of area must
    be in a safe and approved manner including an
    adequately sized vehicle to accommodate all travelers
    and in most cases a transport crate.

    You will be required to sign a contract that if for
    any reason the adoption does not work out, you
    will return the dog to our rescue organization at
    your own expense.

    A Passion for Paws normally requests a tax deductible
    donation of $250 for mixed breed dogs or seniors over
    7 years old, $300 for adult Akitas over 1 year old, and
    $400 for puppies or AKC registered dogs with
    papers.
