Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Niwa is a 3 yr old red female Shiba Inu who has lived with two different families already in her short life. The first year of her life she was locked up in a crate most of the day and night; the past year and a half she lived with another small dog. Her family surrendered her to rescue because the new home they are going to doesn’t allow dogs her size. Niwa can be nervous around strangers but otherwise is a typical Shiba Inu.
She is looking for a forever home that will train and take good care of her. Niwa has done great in foster care in a multi-dog home. She loves to play with other active dogs.
Niwa came to rescue with mild allergies and hair loss which has grown in nicely. She was updated on her core vaccinations, tested negative on her 4Dx snap test and had her microchip put in. There are no major behavior issues with Niwa.
Niwa is available to an extended adoption area: (MD/VA/DC/NY/NJ/PA/WV/DE/NC/SC)
