Our shelter is small so we don’t get puppies very often, and overall we can only have a small number of animals. However, this doesn’t mean you need to pay thousands of dollars for an animal from off base. Check out Tokyo Ark, a branch of Animal Rescue Kansai (ARK). They have puppies, as well as a much larger selection of dogs that are looking for foster and forever homes. Of course they also have kittens, cats, and the occasional silver fox.
The photo below is of Ginja, a silver fox that needs sponsoring. She lives at ARK’s main compound, near Osaka.
We often work with ARK– when they have animals that need to try a new location, we take them, etc.
If you are looking to rescue an animal, or foster, ARK is another fantastic place to look.

We are lucky to know Mrs. Yayoi Blackman. She is a JKC certified dog trainer who currently volunteers with us, working with our dogs. She is available for private lessons or you can set up a group lesson if you’d like. She does basic and advanced obedience, puppy training and can also help you with other dog issues such as aggressiveness or being overly playful. She can even train in agility although you would have to provide the course obstacles.
Just e-mail us and we will give you her number.
We also have her business cards at the shelter if you want to stop by and grab one. I will be uploading it soon, hang on~
