The ARK Mission:

 
Our goals are Akita education first and foremost, along with promoting responsible ownership, breeding, and rescue practices. We strive to keep potential homeless Akitas in their current homes through behavior modification, health awareness, and basic breed knowledge. ARK is a participating member of the Akita Club of America. ARK was founded in 2000 by a group of concerned Akita enthusiasts after realizing the huge issue of Akita homelessness in the NW and the need for educated responsible breed rescue.
