Meet Kintsugi, a 5-year-old male Shiba Inu with a soft, floofy coat and a calm, kind demeanor. Kintsugi is the definition of gentle and affectionate—but he’s looking for a very specific kind of home: one with adults only, ideally with female companions, as he prefers calm, mature energy and doesn’t do well with children.
This sweet boy thrives in peaceful environments, enjoys quiet companionship, and blossoms when given patience, respect, and understanding. Kintsugi may take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, his loyalty and love are boundless.
Adopt Kintsugi and bring home a serene, loving Shiba Inu whose calm presence and floofy charm will make every quiet moment together feel special.
Update from Kintsugi's foster: "Hello, I just wanted to send an update with my experience as temporary fostering Kintsugi this past weekend. He was the perfect house guest. He is truly a mellow, low maintenance kind of guy. He was slightly shy and timid at first but once he realized he was in a safe space he shined. Kintsugi gets his occasional zoomies and was quite playful with my female corgi but really prefers to spend most of his time in comfy spot to rest whether that be against a cool window where he can watch the squirrels in the trees or snuggled up on a plush dog bed. Once he trusts you he likes to follow you around the house from room to room. His first day with us he did have some accidents I believe just due to being overwhelmed in a new environment but the rest of the weekend he appeared to be house trained as we had no accidents the rest of the time with us. Of course any adopter should be understanding it may take time for him to get used to a new routine. While I was out of the house he free roamed and he was perfectly respectful, not destructive, no issues at all. He took his seizure meds like a champ folded up in a piece of cheese as well. He loved his cheese tax. No seizures noted."
