Independent ARSF redesign prototype for review. Breed resources, rescue guidance, stories, and memorials are now gathered in one modern framework.

Always remembered

Obi

2002 - 2013

A life carried forward in memory.

Obi was found running loose at the age of about 9 months. Through akita rescue, he found a lifelong home with a family whose first akita had just died. Obi helped heal their broken hearts. He brought love and joy to his mom and dad for over 10 years. Obi was a certified therapy dog and was an excellent ambassador for the breed. 2002-2013

Their steps remain with us

Every remembered life has a place here.

For the Akitas whose full stories were never written down, ARSF still carries their names forward.
