Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Venus and I'm looking for my forever home! If you've been following SIRA, you probably know all about me, since you've met my brothers. Our mama is a Shiba rescued by SIRA as a stray with a whole lot of us puppies in her belly! SIRA helped us learn that our father was a Beagle/Coonhound mix. We were born in early October and I came to my foster home here in Sussex, WI, once I was weaned. I'm a healthy, happy, fun-loving girl - spayed and almost completely house trained and ready for my very own family. I weigh 19.5 lbs now and will likely get a bit bigger before I'm fully grown. I have a soft, silky coat. I love being with other dogs and I'm also good with cats and small pets. I like little kids, but I'm still a bouncy puppy learning good manners, so supervision is a good idea. Meeting new people makes me nervous at first, so I'm cautious, but it doesn't take me long to warm up. I'm very food motivated, so I might forget about being shy after a few treats. And when I'm playing with the other dogs, I'm completely fearless! I love going for walks and being outside. I am very curious and love to sniff out treasures in the grass or grab leaves or sticks in my mouth and run around with them. And I love chasing robins! I have a favorite toy - my stuffed lambs - and I will carry them around in my mouth and make crying noises. I'm a good girl when my foster family leaves the house. It helps that there are other animals here to keep me company. I like being part of the pack. I might whine a bit when I first go into my crate, but I settle down quickly. And when foster mom comes home, or when she wakes up in the morning, I get so excited to greet them! I have a polite, quiet bark - unless you have peanut butter or whipped cream, and then I know how to speak up!!! I love affection - especially snuggling with my foster family in bed under the covers when they're first waking up. Like most puppies my age, I'm active and energetic. I love to play and I get the zoomies from time to time in the house. I'm a smart girl and already know several commands. My foster mom has noticed that I have some typical Shiba characteristics - like my very first Shiba scream (when she trimmed my nails - that was so traumatic!) My perfect forever home would have plenty of time to spend with me, going for walks and playing inside and outside. I'd love it if there was another nice dog for me to play with. My forever family should be careful to prevent door-bolting, since I might be tempted to zoom out of an open door or gate chasing after a robin. I also like watching the world outside, so if you have a big window or patio door I can see out of, that would be great! If you live in the Midwest and want a smart, loving, affectionate, curious girl like me to snuggle with, then visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more info and to apply to become an approved adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home to make sure we'll be a good match. Once approved, they'll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
