About Akitas
The Royal Kennel Club describes the Akita as a "strong, courageous dog of Japanese origin" and the largest breed in its Utility group. It was developed in Japan for hunting bear, deer and wild boar, and the Akita as we see it today was developed in America, "becoming stronger in bone and substance".

Tap a question to expand
How many rescue Akitas are available for adoption in North Devon?
As of 14 November 2026, no Akitas are listed for adoption in and around North Devon on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Akita puppies for sale in North Devon?
No. Rescues rehome Akitas for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. The nearest place with Akitas listed today is Plymouth, about 51 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Akita to a good home in North Devon, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Plymouth's Akitas page show them.
