My story

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

Meet Saknko 🦊🐾
Nearly 5 years old • Female • Shiba Inu

Saknko is a striking Shiba Inu with that classic fox-like look and a personality to match. Nearly 5 years old, she’s confidently out of the puppy phase and knows what she likes—making her a great match for someone who appreciates the independent, intelligent nature the breed is known for. She’s equal parts dignified and charming, with her own special way of showing affection.

Why Saknko stands out:

Gorgeous Shiba Inu looks and poise

Mature, settled energy

Best suited for an adults-only home

A great match for someone who understands and respects Shiba personalities

Good to know:
🐾 We can dog-test and cat-test Saknko upon request—just ask!
🏷️ If an attribute tag isn’t listed, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have that trait—it just means we haven’t seen or confirmed it yet.

Saknko is ready for a calm, adult-only home that will appreciate her individuality and give her the space—and love—she deserves. 💕
