About

USAKARA's founder Caesar Muñoz knieling on the beautiful green grassy yard surround by 3 gorgeous Akitas that almost look as big as him: Yuki, Kuma, and Panda.

Our Origin Story

Once upon time in April of 1994 a litter of beautiful Akitas were born. Heaven only knows why these spirits came to Earth to bless our founders Louis Vega and Caesar Muñoz.

History of USAKARA LA Animal Rescue

Our Mission

Rescue Dogs, Cats, & Pets in Need of a Home Across Los Angeles, California

We rescue puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, turtles, and have even rescued birds. Our mission for saving animals in need of a loving home across Los Angeles, California, knows no bounds. Over the years we’ve provided homes for animals given up for adoption, or who were abandoned, and fostered them until we found a loving home, or we’ve kept them and loved them as our own. We have 2 facilities for rescuing animals where we provide a cozy home and great pet care for all our pet rescues.

Kitten rescues: Apollo, and Mikie, playing with their favorite fluffy toy. Both kittens are standing upright on their hind legs pawing at the toy in a game of kitten tug-of-war.

Meet the Animals

Take a moment to meet the animals your donations support, and meet the dogs that started it all: Usagi and Takara.
