Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I'm Drake and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 5 y.o. and weigh 30 lbs. Are you looking for a walking or hiking buddy? I’m your guy! I came to my foster home here in Montgomery, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I used to help make puppies. This is my first time living in a home with people and there is so much to get used to. So far, my favorite things are going for walks and exploring outside. And the good food! I like it when foster mom gives me neck scritches. Loud noises still spook me. I have learned to trust foster mom, but I still get skittish around new people and places. I’m super-smart and a very good boy. I solved my first food puzzle in less than a minute, and I’ve only had 2 potty accidents the whole time I’ve lived here! I’m pretty quiet. I only bark when I’m excited (like when I want to play) and I squeal when I’m startled. I’m independent – I usually hang out by myself. But I’ll run to foster mom for comfort if there’s a thunderstorm – or if I’m hungry or thirsty. I get along with the animals who live here. Sometimes I worry that they might hog foster mom’s attention, so I’ll push them out of the way. Sometimes I guard high-value treats and food, so foster mom recommends separating me when I’m given something really yummy. I like to chase critters outside, so I might not be good with small pets. My perfect forever home would be patient and calm with humans who like walks. It would be great to have a laid-back dog to show me the ropes. It might take a while to warm up, but I like watching them and copying what they do. Little kids are not a good match for me (so scary!). I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. I have something called a luxating patella. That means I have a loose kneecap. It doesn’t cause any problems now, but if it does in the future, surgery might be needed. If you live in the Midwest and want a buddy to explore the great outdoors with, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment to see if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster home so we can meet.
