Miep was pulled from a puppy mill at 5 years old. She clearly had no handling or socialization with humans or the world. The owners who adopted her from a different rescue loved her dearly and sent her to The Family Fido for a board and train to focus on handling and confidence building while on a vacation.
As Miep was at the Family Fido, she opened up beautifully through the help of having other dog friends and living in the country. Through many conversations and tears, the owner decided it was best she looked for another home to ensure Miep's quality of life.
Prior to coming to the farm she was adopted into a very busy neighborhood and home with NO other dogs and was pretty stressed.
We are accepting applications on Miep but we need to be upfront about her as we have her best interest at heart.
Miep has been with us since September 27th. There are 4 of us that have gotten to know her but she still will NOT let us handle her. She comes up for engagement, takes treats from us, will jump on us to say hi but we are not able to touch her collar or put a leash on her. We have professional trainers on site and someone who's been around hundreds of mill dogs, she makes it clear you cannot push her.
Miep has been around kids, however, the kids know to leave her alone and only give her treats, etc. if she approaches them. So if she goes into a home that has kids, they must be older and understand things come to her on her terms.
So she absolutely needs a fenced in yard. NO tie-outs, leash walking or invisible fences. There for, she cannot live in a condo or apartment. Please know, we usually do not set these restrictions but we know Miep best. She is and will be a dog that will need to warm up to you.
The perfect home must be familiar with Shiba's (they are aloof dogs in general), and must have another dog in the home. Miep is solid with all dogs and we've never seen aggression, she's been with adults of all sizes and litters of puppies. She truly is aloof but does follow the lead of other dogs.
Miep may have quite the list of requirements, but it's only fair to her that she gets placed in the right home so she doesn't need to transition again. She truly is a sweet girl and we LOVE having her around but we'd also love to see her in a home. We really hope there's someone out there
If you are interested in Miep, please fill out an application on our website and a volunteer will be in touch. https://foreverfido.org/adoptable-dogs/

Additional adoption info
The dogs in our care will be adopted out with an updated vet exam, they will be up to date on their rabies (if of age), and DHPP. All dogs will also be microchipped and dewormed. If they are of age, they will also be altered. We do not do pediatric spays or neuters so a deposit is required at the time of adoption, once the dog is altered, the deposit will be returned.
Due to the American Veterinary Medical Association's recommendation to not spay/neuter dogs under 6 or 12 months depending on breed and our vets recommendation. Large-breed puppies under 6-months will not be altered prior to adoption but do require a deposit that will be returned once your dog is altered. Small breed and adults that are 6-months or older, will be done prior to adoption.
During the time spent at Forever Fido, all dogs will be socialized with many confident and social dogs of all ages, safely interact with kids of many ages, appropriately meet a variety of humans, start potty and crate training, and begin basic puppy manners including impulse control.

We are a rescue aiming to create a community that recognizes and prioritizes each dog’s individual needs and well-being through all stages of their life. Our goal is to reduce the number of animals being re-homed, surrendered to shelters, or living in unfair environments.
