Our Mission
Our mission is to find new, loving homes for our rescues. All Akitas are altered, vet checked, and evaluated. An application is a required part of the adoption process and will help to match the right Akita for your household. SWAT RESCUE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations may be tax deductible.
Adoption Policy
Neither Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc. (SWAT RESCUE), nor its volunteers, coordinators, representatives, Internet Service Provider and its officers, employees, contractors and representatives; and any other person, firm or corporation involved with the efforts or business of this corporation, shall be held liable or responsible for any claims or causes of action incurred as a result of the provision or restriction of information, services, contacts, adoptions, fostering, veterinary care or by the actions of any and all dogs transferred or referenced herein.
I assume responsibility for any events that occur in connection with my adoption/foster of an animal for Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc.. I understand the possibility of my children or others being bitten, scratched, or contracting disease does exist. I agree to be responsible for my children and anyone else handling any animal(s) adopted/fostered by me in a safe and hygienic manner, and will not hold Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc. responsible for any injuries that may result from my failure to do so.
I understand that Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc. cannot and does not make any representations or warranties, either expressed or implied concerning the temperament, habits, health, pedigree, disposition, age, sex or background of this animal and that I have no right to a reimbursement of medical, adoption or other professional fees. Furthermore, I understand that the animal’s future reactions to me, my family or any other person are completely unpredictable because animals, like people, have their own personalities.
In consideration of receiving any Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc. adopted/fostered animal, I, as adoptee/foster, hereby release Southwest Akita Tactical Rescue, Inc., its officers, agents and employees from all claims of injury or damage that a fostered dog may cause me or my property.

Moreover, there is absolutely no guarantee made or implied that any person requesting to adopt a dog being fostered through SWAT RESCUE, or posted on SWAT RESCUE's website, will be allowed to adopt a SWAT RESCUE Akita. Rather, all adoption applications are subject to acceptance based on a review process that may require collecting information from references and visiting the applicant's home. All decisions on placing dogs in adoptive and foster homes are based solely on the judgment of the volunteers and coordinators of SWAT RESCUE and adoption applications submitted through this form can be denied for various reasons. SWAT RESCUE reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care whether in, or being placed in, a foster or adoptive home or other facility. In addition, many of the dogs posted on SWAT RESCUE's website are under the control of other shelters or owner placements, and SWAT RESCUE has no control over how these dogs are placed.
