What is the AKITA WELFARE LEAGUE, INC.?

A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization devoted to the Akita breed.

 

OUR MISSION

It is The AKITA WELFARE LEAGUE'S focus, to seek and support ways to benefit all Akitas.

In the area of abandonment, AWL is working to enhance the effectiveness of rescue efforts by: ensuring better ownership practices through education; and by supporting the highly qualified research foundations currently working to find the break throughs which will enable the Akita fancy to either eliminate or better control many of the devastating medical problems plaguing the breed; additionally, when financially possible, give assistance to other worthy organizations working for the welfare of the Akita, that maintain a non-profit status.

 
 A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Directed by Judy King and Pam Tobin, the two originally began their rescue efforts in Arizona in the mid 1980s, which continued up to 1995, at which time both Co-Directors relocated from the hectic pace dictated by living in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, to the peaceful tranquility of rural living....but 1500 miles apart. One headed to the northern Arizona forest, the other, much farther north to the forest of northern Montana. Seeking a new direction for their efforts on behalf of Akita, the organization has been reformatted to focus on prevention. Prevention of discardment through counseling, prevention of illness through genetic research and early diagnosis, prevention of euthanasia through supportive education and enlightenment of alternatives.
With this new direction came the name change to AKITA WELFARE LEAGUE, INC.
 

With this new direction as our focus, it is AWL's wish, that we may all have the privilege of enjoyably sharing our lives with healthy Akitas that remain with us to a very old age.
