Rakki-Inu, pronounced "rocky ee-new," is a 501(c)(3) Akita rescue group located in Virginia Beach, VA. serving primarily eastern VA, NC, and SC. The name means "lucky dog," which is both an acknowledgment of the Akita's status as a national treasure of Japan and the belief that they bring luck and prosperity, and that any dog saved from starvation, neglect, abuse, or homelessness is lucky to have made it to rescue. We are dedicated to finding new, loving homes for our rescues and to provide help and support to Akita owners everywhere.
