Akita rescues are requesting Tri-City Animal Control, Fremont, CA to allow Akita experts to perform an independent temperament assessment on Junior the Akita.  Junior is scheduled to be euthanized on Wednesday, August 15 due to a provoked bite incident, so time is of the essence.  Junior's owner's relinquished him to Tri-City Shelter/Animal Control in Fremont, CA (Northern California). 


After relinquishing Junior to AC, the owner contacted A Passion for Paws Akita Resuce and Akita Angels in California asking for help. We immediately contacted them and are working non-stop to save Junior's life. Bottom  line: The rescue groups have NO legal recourse to intervene and stop his death on August 15.

The owner has the sole and full legal right to request return of her dog and as of 8pm this evening, has not filed that form wtih the Tri-City Animal Control in Fremont. 

UPDATE:  JUNIOR HAS OBTAINED LEGAL COUNSEL...  TO THE RIGHT ARE LINKS YOU CAN CLICK TO  CHIP-IN BY MAKING A DONATION TO HELP WITH LEGAL FEES , & JUNIOR'S FB PAGE


 Please email [email protected] IF YOU CAN HELP. we all are working tirelessly to help him.

The phone calls to animal control are going unanswered today but we have lawyers looking into the paperwork requirements now. I am honestly exhausted from all this back and forth because it feels like every minute counts with a dog like Junior whose life is just hanging by a thread.

My Akita is the sweetest dog I ever had. Breeds get a bad rap because of bad owners. Save Junior!
