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;
supporting the highly qualified research foundations currently
working to find the breakthroughs 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.

Directed by Judy King
and Pam Claridge Tobin, the two originally began their rescue
efforts in Arizona in the mid 1980s, and in 1987 joined with
the national Akita rescue organization; ARSA, becoming ARSA-AZ.
Hundreds of Akitas were rescued during those years of total devotion
to rescue, which continued up to 1995, at which time both Co-Directors
relocated from the busy, hectic pace dictated by living in metropolitan
Phoenix, Arizona, to the peaceful tranquility of rural living....but
1500 miles apart. Judy, husband and four legged kids headed to
the northern Arizona forest, whereas Pam, hubby and four legged
kids headed much farther north to the forest of northern Montana.
This major life change forced them to seek a new direction with
their rescue work, if they were to continue helping Akitas, as
they wished. Since their relocation, the organization has been
reformatted to focus rescue efforts on prevention. 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.
Your continued
support is appreciated as we strive to reach our goals for the
betterment of our beloved Akitas.
