Lola's Story: Lola was taken into care on welfare grounds. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving her life. Lola is neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Lola and Haruto came in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting her new family.
If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.
Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum Adoption Donation is £250 (£400 for pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.
Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.
Lola's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.
Original referral information: Urgent call could we save 2 Akitas who have come from the same house and their time had run out.

Re: Reon Akita DofB 2021 RRemedies Centre
This was my first walk with Reon, while Chris walked Haruto. She was very welcoming in her kennel and went for a full on friendly hug with paws on my shoulders. I then got her collar and harness on, clipped her leads and off we went. She was a bit unsure at first, but she then relaxed into the walk. She didn’t mind the traffic, but preferred the woods – and loved a couple of blackberries. She walked with slack leads and enjoyed sniffing about. I felt like walking a beautiful teddy bear.

Reon is such a soft, friendly girl! She was much more confident today and it took no time to get her harnessed up and out for a walk in the woods. She walked really well and took directions impeccably. She met a horse and politely waited on the side of the path for it to go by. She then got a bit of sausage for being such a great girl. She loves cuddles and is super soft!

It was our first time walking Haruto and Reon together. They walked well, sometimes trying to fit next to each other even when there was no space.

Re: Reon Akita DofB 2021 RRemedies Centre
We have had some sad news after taking Reon back and forwards to our vets ref her health. Yesterday our Vets have concluded Reon had Polycystic Kidney Disease which has progressed quite quickly so she has a poor prognosis. They shared the sad news with us today.
"Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic slow progressing and irreversible disease characterised by the presence of cysts in the functional areas of the kidneys, The size of the cysts varies from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. Cysts grow and expand replacing the normal kidney tissue, as a result, the functionality of the kidneys declines, the disease is likely to end with chronic renal failure in middle to old aged dogs. The disease affects both kidneys."
She has retained her weight and looks healthy but she is drinking over 3 bowls of water a day and although continent she is weeing regularly and in volume. She could be placed on a special diet but it wouldn't have a great impact. Her 2 blood tests within 3 weeks apart show definite decline.
We are very upset and coming to terms with the sad news. She is such a special dog and we are happy to home her individually if that means she gets out of kennels sooner so we capitalise on what time she has left.

Absolutely devastating news
Re: Reon Akita DofB 2021 RRemedies Centre
Reon, the bestest friend you could wish for. A big sweetheart, with a soft and gentle soul. Very loving girl who loves her kisses and most of all, her cuddles. Reon has a playful side, whether that's zooming/bouncing around the paddocks, playing with her toys or playing games with you. Walks lovely on the lead alone, but can pull while walking alongside her brother Haruto. Reon does like squirrels and isn't keen on terriers. Reon is a real gem who has so much to give. If your looking for an affectionate cuddle monster with a goofy and playful side, she's the one for you 
Re: Reon Akita DofB 2021 RRemedies Centre
Reon, the loveable goof ball
Full of love, playful and friendly. Not phased with traffic or horses. Will need someone who's committed, who has time due to Reon needing regular pee breaks and making sure her water is topped up. A loyal friend, a great source of fun and entertainment and generally a beautiful soul
