Where are there Akita Puppies that are available for free?

First educate yourself all you can by reading up on the breed. Check around for an ethical breeder of the breed, Akitas. Ask your Veterinarian to recommend a breeder. When you are searching for a good breeder, make sure they do health checks on the parents before breeding. A good breeder wants to breed in order to better the breed, not just for the money. A good breeder will have eyes checked (CERF), hearts checked & certified if they pass and hips & elbows OFA certified free of hip or elbow dysplasia (very important to do as a breeder). Insist upon that & check the certificates. The breeder should be able to present you proof that they have had these necessary health checks done. Does the breeder show their dogs at AKC dog shows? That is not mandatory but it would tell you that they are serious about the breed. Check temperaments of the parents. Can you pet them and interact with them? Go to an AKC show and watch the breed being shown and "after" they are shown, ask different breeders questions about the breed but be sure to wait until they are through showing.
