Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Elizabeth and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 1 y.o. and came to my foster home here in Cedar Falls, IA, from a place that wasn’t very nice. But I’m learning to love life in a home with a family! I might be a shy and skittish at first – I get spooked by loud noises or sudden movements - but once I know you, I love to soak up attention and affection. Some of my favorite things are playing with toys that crinkle or bounce or squeak! But I’ll also chase my own tail. I love to explore. I’m curious about everything and will stretch my body forward to inspect something new. I get the zoomies and race around the fenced yard. Foster mom calls me a goofball and a “fake Shiba” because I beg for attention. I guess Shibas are supposed to be reserved? Whatever. There are cats here and I chase them if they get too close. There are other dogs here too and I like them. Since I'm still a puppy, I can be too high-energy and overwhelm the laid-back dogs. I also worry that I need to protect my food and treats and my bed from the other dogs. Foster mom says it’s called “resource guarding” and we're working on it, but my forever home should be prepared to help me adapt to other resident dogs. I’m learning to walk on a leash, but a securely fenced yard will be important until I master it. I’ll do best in an adult-only home or with older kids (I am too much for little ones). My forever family should commit to continuing my training, so I grow into a well-mannered adult (pro-tip: I looooove treats, and they help me learn!) I’d do best in a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. The vet says that my kneecaps are a bit loose, but they don’t bother me. It’s called luxating patella (low grade 1 or 2), which should be monitored over time. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a fun-loving, active, affectionate girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to learn more and to apply to become an approved adopter with SIRA. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom, so we can meet!
