If you're looking for a calm laid back guy, I'm the one for you. oh, I'm not lazy I love to get out and play and run and be a goofball, but I can also settle in next to my people and just be a couch tater. what i want most is to be by my people. I am potty and crate trained, but I really don't need a crate. I would love to have some kiddos to play with or another calm dog. but I'm not real fond of kitty cats.

Story
These sweet boys have quite the story—but they’re ready to leave the past behind and start their next chapter. They were found wandering a neighborhood, hungry and just trying to survive. Now safe and cared for, they’re learning that meals will always be there—no more rushing or going without. Despite everything, their gentle, loving personalities shine through. They absolutely adore attention and will happily follow you around, soaking up every bit of affection they can get. Watching them discover toys for the first time is pure joy—especially when they pounce on a crinkly one like it’s the best thing ever! These boys are full of love, curiosity, and resilience. Now all they need is a forever family to show them just how good life can be. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Basenji

Female, Adult
Chicago, IL
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She is a sweet and affectionate companion who really enjoys being close to her people. Because she has experienced a lot of stress in the past, loud noises or yelling can make her nervous, and in those moments she’ll often come over looking for cuddles and reassurance. Buddy is also house-trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside, which makes daily routines much easier. She definitely has a soft spot for the occasional table scrap and loves being included when her humans are around the kitchen. Like many dogs, she has her funny moments too—she can act a little silly sometimes and somehow turns into a surprisingly talented escape artist whenever bath time is coming up. Fun facts: Her satellite sized ears can hear a chip bag open from miles away. Overall, Buddy is a loving, playful dog who just wants to have fun, feel safe, and spend time with people who care about her.

Story
My name is Zeus and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 5 years old and a friendly, playful boy who loves going for walks and watching out the window. I came to my foster home here in Columbus, IN, from a shelter. I was kind-of a mess, with missing fur and bad skin issues. SIRA helped me get the care I needed and now I’m a healthy and handsome 33-lb boy. I’m neutered and vaccinated and my skin is much better - I take Benadryl to keep it clear. I have an inverted nipple, which isn’t a big deal. Foster mom cleans it daily so it doesn’t get infected. I am outgoing and love to meet new people. I love baths – they make me feel so good! And I love to play and get the zoomies. Foster mom says I’m goofy. She says I have a goofy expression on my face that makes me look like I’m a bit confused. I’m working on house-training. I’m learning but sometimes get distracted outside and forget to go potty. I wear a belly band inside to prevent accidents. My perfect forever home would be one with patient humans and a window I can watch from and sometimes bark at the things that pass by. I haven’t met any little human kids yet, but I like older kids. I am kind-of picky about living with other dogs. I’d really love to be an only dog and not have to share my human’s attention. I like to chase cats and outside critters, so I’m probably not a good match for a home with cats or other small pets. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for a sweet and silly boy to be your best friend, visit www.savingshibas.com to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps confirm that we’d be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster dad so we can meet.

Size

Story
My name is Nyak and I’m looking for my forever home. I came to my foster home here in Joliet, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I spent my whole life. I’m a quiet, laid-back guy who doesn’t cause any trouble. My favorite things are treats (mozzarella cheese sticks and liver sausage) and all of the pets and scritches foster mom gives me! I also enjoy watching all of the neighborhood action through the window. I don’t bark, but boy, I would like to chase the birds and squirrels I see. I’m a good boy in the house, even when my foster mom has to leave. I’m potty trained and don’t have accidents unless I don’t get regular potty breaks. I love to go for walks and leave “pee-mail” for the other dogs to read. I get along with the other dogs in my foster home and am always curious, but polite, to dogs we meet on walks. I haven’t met any cats or small pets, so I don’t know what I’d think about them. I did live briefly with a couple of human kids and that was fine with me. I’m 10 years old and I weigh around 27 lbs. I’m neutered and vaccinated and a healthy boy. When I first came into foster care, I had occasional episodes that looked like seizures. I went to see vets and got poked and prodded and tested and everything, but the vets could find nothing wrong. They decided that I should stop receiving monthly flea/tick preventatives, since some dogs are really sensitive to them. That seems to have helped! So the vet says I don’t need any special care or treatment – just something for my forever family to be aware of. My perfect forever family will be very careful to prevent escapes since I’m really fast (vigilant when opening doors and gates). They should be patient with me as I continue to adjust to live in a home with a family. In return, I’ll be a loyal friend and quiet companion. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a handsome guy like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!

Story
My name is Nagi and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 6 years old and a big boy – 46 lbs of pure love ready to be your very best friend! I came to my foster home here in Avon, IN, after my former owner could no longer care for me. I love attention and affection from my humans and I love making them happy. I will stick to my person through thick and thin. If you are feeling stressed or sad or discomfort, I’ll be right there by your side to offer my comfort. I love going for walks, though foster dad says that I could improve my manners and not pull so much. I’m not a big fan of going into my crate when my family is around, because I want to be right there by their side. But I’m fine to hang out there when my foster family leaves the house. There are other dogs here in my foster home and I get along well with them. But I’m not a push-over. I will defend myself when necessary – let’s just say if there’s an overly bossy female dog who gets in my face - but I’m not naming names. I have a strong prey-drive and I love to chase bunnies and birds in the fenced back yard here at my foster home, so my foster parents recommend that my forever home not have cats or other small pets. I also like to bolt towards any open door or gate, so my forever family will need to be very careful to guard against escapes. My perfect forever family will have a securely fenced yard and time to spend with me, whether we’re out together on an adventure or hanging out at home. My foster family recommends a home with no shared walls (I know how to use my voice!). I haven’t met any little humans, so I don’t know what I’d think of them, but there are older kids (12 and 17) in my foster home and I do well with them. I’m fully house-trained and a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for a best buddy who’ll be by your side, making you happy through thick and thin, then I’m your boy! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’d be a good match. Then once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster family so we can meet!
