After five years with his family, he is being surrendered due to behavioral concerns and a bite incident at home. His owner describes him as friendly, loyal, and a genuinely good boy who needs guidance, structure, and a calm environment to thrive. Shibas are known for being independent, sensitive, and extremely intelligent and Twitch is no different. He has some behaviors that need correction, and with the right home he has the potential to be an incredible companion. What we know about Twitch: • 5 years old • Neutered & fully vaccinated • On flea/tick/heartworm prevention • Friendly with familiar people • Aloof but manageable with strangers • Can be friendly, fearful, or unsure with other dogs • No experience with cats • No current medical issues • Needs a patient, experienced foster or adopter • Has a bite history so no children and preferably someone familiar with the Shiba breed or with experience handling behavioral cases What Twitch Needs Right Now A calm, structured home No kids A foster or adopter willing to work with our team and possibly a trainer Someone patient, dog-savvy, and compassionate Twitch deserves a chance. He deserves someone who will help him decompress and understand the world again. His owner believes he can be corrected and that he truly wants to be a good companion he just needs the right environment. Adoption FEE: $450 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
