Mission

Akita Rescue Mid-Atlantic Coast, Inc. (ARMAC), founded in 1984, is one of the oldest Akita rescues in the United States. ARMAC is run solely by volunteers and all funding comes from private donations from the general public. ARMAC serves a wide variety of Akita needs in the greater Washington DC area. It educates and offers support to all Akita owners whether they are ARMAC adopters or not. But most importantly, ARMAC saves the lives of Akitas that would otherwise be euthanized in area shelters. All of ARMAC's fostered Akitas are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped and temperament evaluated prior to adoption. Potential adopters are screened carefully and thoroughly to ensure there is a perfect match between family and Akita. ARMAC's assistance doesn't stop at adoption. ARMAC offers support to its adoptive families throughout the lifetime of their Akita. ARMAC's goal is to avoid Akitas being given-up in the first place by educating the public about the breed, its history, and the many challenges that Akita ownership brings with it.

ARMAC's programs include rescue, adoptions/placements, evaluations/assessments, and consultations. ARMAC offers the Akita owning community with support through education, intervention and placement assistance.

Population(s) Served

ARMAC has a very detailed adoption process.  Potential adopters are asked to complete an Adoption Application, which includes such information as personal and vetrinarian references.  The application is checked for completeness and all references are checked.  A home visit is conducted with the potential adopter and his/her family (if applicable).  At the conclusion of this process we ask that the adopter and his/her family to visit Akitas that fit their lifestyle in their foster homes.  When a "match" is found the adoption process is complete.

To educate the public about the Akita breed. Our main focus is on those individuals and families interested in adding an Akita into their home. The Akita breed is not for most families, thorough education in the breed is one of the most important ingredients to a successful adoption.

$2,000

We strive to offer support and training to all Akita owners, no matter where they acquired their Akita from. It's imperative to reach Akita owners experiencing problems with their Akitas before they have reached the point of no longer wanting to solve the problems, but rather just want the Akita removed.
