Welcome to New Mexico Akita Rescue Group. NMARG has been in existence for more than 20 years, thanks to Sue Behling. Her love of the breed and unwavering dedication to Akita rescue in New Mexico is our inspiration, and we are proud to dedicate this site to her.
NMARG is a recognized Akita rescue group. We adhere to the ethical standards of quality rescues. We work with shelters in the state to rescue deserving Akitas and we provide assistance for owner relinquishment. We also work closely with our sister rescues in the Southwest to find the right home for the right Akita. All the members of NMARG are also members of the Land of Enchantment Akita Club.
The Akita is not a breed for everyone, and we strongly recommend that potential adopters research the breed carefully if they've never been owned by an Akita.

Good links to Akita information can be found on our Contact page.
NMARG strongly opposes Breed Specific Legislation, and encourages you to research this threat to our breed--if some have their way, before long no Akitas or other dogs will be kept as pets, companions, or friends in this country. Please visit the AKita Club of America, Advocates 4 Akitas and the National Animal Interest Alliance Trust for more information on this very important issue.
