My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ingrid Gwen arrived to us after being transferred from Calumet City Animal Control, and she’s now ready to start the next, happiest chapter of her life.

🎭 Personality
Ingrid Gwen is equal parts spunky and sweet. She’s got that classic Shiba confidence, a hint of sass, and a whole lot of charm. Whether she’s prancing around showing off her fox-like looks or giving you her “are you ready to play yet?” side-eye, she’s guaranteed to make you smile.

🐾 Favorite Activities
- Zooming around like she owns the place
- Investigating every interesting scent within a 10-foot radius
- Tossing toys into the air and celebrating like she just won a championship
- Sitting nearby (but in a very “Shiba on her own terms” way) to supervise your daily tasks

👩‍👧 Ideal Home
Ingrid Gwen would love a family who enjoys her independent spirit and quirky sense of humor. She thrives with people who:
- Appreciate a dog who is smart, curious, and a little cheeky
- Can give her playtime, enrichment, and patience as she settles in
- Understand that Shibas do best with structure and calm guidance

🧡 Why You’ll Love Her
Ingrid Gwen is the kind of dog who keeps life interesting, joyful, and full of personality. She’s loyal on her own terms, playful when the mood strikes, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a tiny fox-like companion with style and sparkle—this girl is your match.

🏠 Ready to Meet Ingrid Gwen?
