My name is Nagi and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 6 years old and a big boy – 46 lbs of pure love ready to be your very best friend! I came to my foster home here in Avon, IN, after my former owner could no longer care for me. I love attention and affection from my humans and I love making them happy. I will stick to my person through thick and thin. If you are feeling stressed or sad or discomfort, I’ll be right there by your side to offer my comfort. I love going for walks, though foster dad says that I could improve my manners and not pull so much. I’m not a big fan of going into my crate when my family is around, because I want to be right there by their side. But I’m fine to hang out there when my foster family leaves the house. There are other dogs here in my foster home and I get along well with them. But I’m not a push-over. I will defend myself when necessary – let’s just say if there’s an overly bossy female dog who gets in my face - but I’m not naming names. I have a strong prey-drive and I love to chase bunnies and birds in the fenced back yard here at my foster home, so my foster parents recommend that my forever home not have cats or other small pets. I also like to bolt towards any open door or gate, so my forever family will need to be very careful to guard against escapes. My perfect forever family will have a securely fenced yard and time to spend with me, whether we’re out together on an adventure or hanging out at home. My foster family recommends a home with no shared walls (I know how to use my voice!). I haven’t met any little humans, so I don’t know what I’d think of them, but there are older kids (12 and 17) in my foster home and I do well with them. I’m fully house-trained and a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for a best buddy who’ll be by your side, making you happy through thick and thin, then I’m your boy! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’d be a good match. Then once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster family so we can meet!
