TikiHut Akita Rescue Association (TARA)'s Adoption Policy

We first request that you complete and return an Adoption Application. Our application is designed to help us get acquainted with you. Since Akitas can be independent and strong-willed, they are not the breed for everyone. Owning an Akita requires a greater degree of responsibility than what is required for many other breeds. This application helps us determine if the Akita breed and the particular dog you are inquiring about, is appropriate for your family. We realize that some of the questions are personal. This is because the better acquainted we are with you, the better we are able to match up the appropriate Akita personality for your lifestyle and individual needs. By all means, please feel free to ask questions of your own. Do we adopt out of state? Because we require that all family members and resident animals meet the Akita, and the fact that we do not ship our dogs, makes it difficult logistically for us to adopt out of state. We will however, adopt to surrounding states if it is within a reasonable (8 hours or so) driving distance. How long does it take once you return your application? We receive a large volume of applications and inquiries. At the same time, we are also fielding many calls about Akitas in shelters and calls from individuals needing help rehoming their Akitas. Your patience is appreciated while we review your application. Please allow three to four weeks for processing during this time. The actual adoption process can take several weeks to months, depending on whether we have a suitable Akita for you. What happens after your application is received? Your application will be reviewed and if the Akita that you're interested in appears to be a good potential match for your family and lifestyle, a volunteer will contact you via phone. This gives us a chance to get to know you further, and will give you the opportunity to find out more about the Akita you're applying for. Please understand that the process is not on a first come, first served basis. Our focus and priority is based on what's best for the dog, not about who contacts us first. We may have other Akitas that may be a more suitable match for you and we may recommend that particular dog. If we determine the dog you are interested in might be appropriate for you, a home visit is then conducted, and then a meeting between you and the Akita is arranged. We insist that all family members and resident animals be present during the meeting. Sometimes contrary to what we think might be the perfect home, a resident dog may think otherwise. If all goes well, an Adoption Contract is then completed.
