assist orphaned and in need Akitas residing in the Midwestern
region of the United States. We were originally an arm of the
Akita
Owners Rescue Foundation, Inc and later enveloped our mother organization and are now

Akita Owners Rescue Foundation. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization
dedicated to helping Akitas and we depend
entirely on tax-deductible donations to continue this work.The
purpose of this organization is to rescue, medically treat,
rehabilitate and re-home abandoned, relinquished or
otherwise homeless Akita dogs. We service the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa,
Missouri and Minnesota as well as parts of Kentucky and Kansas.

Taz and Sasha

Remember DeeDee now Ruka.
Well she is in a bit of a pickle. We were unable to get her to the vets before her adoption, which the adopters were good with and promised to take the best care of her and they are.

We knew she had a bit of a wonky back legs and let the adopters know there. What we didn't know is she basically was hit by a car at some point in her short life and her left hip is really non existent. The amazing adopters could have given her back but they made a commitment to her and want what is best for her.

Today she goes in for her FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery. This is where they remove a chunk of her femur. This will then lead to her body naturally forming a faux joint and reduce bone on bone rubbing

This is a huge surgery and very expensive.

We would like to help them out but we are very low on funds due to recent large surgeries

We are asking for our assistance. If you could find it in your heart to help us our helping our adopter it would be amazing.

The estate for this surgery is anywhere from $3,500 - $5,000.

Please pray for the guidance of the hands of the surgeons as Ruka has her surgery today.

Thank you
