Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kurisumasu means Christmas, a hopeful name given to a sweet 13 year old red shiba inu whose family abandoned her in a shelter on Christmas Eve. When DCSIR reached out, a wonderful family changed their holiday plans to bring her into a foster home for Christmas! Kuri has spent the last month recovering from neglect and some skin issues; she has a sweet disposition and loves spending her time between all the doggy beds in the house searching for the perfect sleeping place. Kuri is deaf, but her foster parents are teaching her visual cues to assist with future training.
Kuri has been fully vetted, and is available for adoption to an extended area beyond Washington DC. She gets along well with other dogs and cats.
Update: Kuri has lost some weight in foster care, and she now has much more energy! She loves to run around the yard and play, and she loves to chase the sunspot--inside and out. She also will beg for belly rubs!
