Akira Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of high-risk dogs - particularly those facing euthanasia in overcrowded shelters due to medical needs, behavioral decline, or those most vulnerable to illness. We provide individualized care and loving foster environments to help each dog heal and thrive. Our ultimate goal is to place every dog into a safe, stable, forever home.

Akira Animal Rescue is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. Majority of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes de-worming, vaccinations, spaying/neutering (when age appropriate), surgery (if needed) and microchipping prior to their adoption. 

Akira Animal Rescue uses a sliding-scale adoption fee to support the rehabilitation of every dog in our care. Suggested donation ranges are shared at the end of this application.
