Our Akita hounds have heart, soul, and boundless energy to compete against the odds.

Roxy our Mascot
Welcome Akitas to the greatest kennel of knowledge this world has yet to know. Tori University was founded by a group of Akita rescuers. During their time it was hard to get an education when everything was being rationed out and work was scarce. Only the wealthy could afford schooling during their time of war so these intelligent men who rescued dogs for a living decided to help school children within the area. These men at the time couldn't find work and one of their partners was disabled so they all opted out of the military to assist him. During their time together on helping these children receive their education a lone akita puppy kept coming to their small building. The kids were enthusiastic about the puppy and so in order to keep her they told the kids they had to pass their tests.
When they passed their exams (with flying colors), the small group kept the puppy and named her Tori. As time passed, the kids knowledge grew all thanks to their furry friend whom they eagerly cared for. With this same passion blazing in their hearts, the rescuers decided to buy the land and help raise both education levels and abandoned dogs. The kennel was cared for by the students as well as the men. It took one lost wealthy boy to stumble upon this unique school and fall in love with the idea of pets and education. His father funded the men to help build a school for all and continue to rescue dogs. The men's passion of making sure kids got an education no matter and their love for animals brought the academy to be where it is today.
As odd of a background on how this place came to be, the overall goal is still the same:
"We are all capable of understanding. Great and small, human and beast. But all are the same no matter how you see it. To change the world, we have to be equipped and work together changing one heart at a time."
Today, the kennel is still active and students volunteer to help care for them. Those with allergies don't have to worry since the kennels are far from the main campus and are very well maintained. Tori's generation of pups are still the current Mascots. The education today? Top Notch with students gaining degrees in many fields and often returning to help new students rise to greatness. So come and join our rankings as we all climb our way to the top and bound over the competition.
