Story
Seeking a quiet forever home. She is exceedingly anxious in busy environments, but once she trusts someone, her wonderful personality emerges. She becomes affectionate, playful, sassy, frisky, and stubborn in the most Shiba-like way. She especially bonds with calm adults. She does okay with children but finds them stressful, so a home without young children would be ideal. She is housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive, and walks well on a chain collar. She likes dogs and loves cats, but can be food-aggressive, so calm companions and separate feeding are important. She is an exceptional escape artist and can climb a 6-foot fence. Once loose, she is extremely difficult to catch and thinks being chased is a game. She requires secure, escape-proof outdoor containment and careful supervision. She came to us after being abused and kept outside. Our home has 3 children and 14 animals, and the constant acactivity keeps her anxious. She deserves a peaceful home where she can thrive.
