issues are things like newly developed aggression, some anxiety
issues, a dog wandering as if in a trance & so many more.

Crowdfunding & Other Fund Raising Sites
- Be aware that Crowdfunding sites will usually
charge a fee for processing payments (usually a small flat %),
some charge for listing on their site, but
many allow listing for free. Some sites are for Non-Profits or
Business Ventures only, but here are a few that let you reach out
for almost any kind of funding.

Social Media (facebook, google+,
Twitter, Ello etc....)
Start a facebook campaign &
SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Make sure you set it up as "public" so that
all of your fb friends & family can share it freely.
One of the biggest ways to help make sure this
works is to publish the name/phone number of the vet treating your
Akita - Most people prefer to give the funds straight to the vet.
Set up a PayPal or Google Checkout account to
accept funds, just be aware that there is a nominal payment
processing fee for both of these.
