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.

Story
My name is Brad and I’m looking for my forever home. I came to my foster home here in Machesney Park, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I lived my whole life, making puppies. I’m a gentle, easy-going 9-y.o. guy. I was pretty scared at first, and I’m still cautious, but my curiosity and affectionate side still wins. Foster dad says he’s proud of me – on the very first day that I arrived, I got brave enough to approach him to say hello. I just looked up into his eyes and I think he melted! Aw, shucks. Yeah, I’m a good boy – I don’t get into trouble or have accidents. There are so many new things I’ve never experienced here, and noises and commotion can still spook me. But I like to follow the humans around and watch what they’re doing. And when foster dad sits quietly in his recliner, I’ll boop his hand to ask for some scritches. And I’ll look up into his eyes to make sure he knows how thankful I am. There are other dogs here and I like them. I’m also good with the human kids. If the 3-year-old gets too loud, I just find a quiet spot away from the racket. The 13-year-old is cool. I like to sit by her when she’s sitting at her desk. My perfect forever home would be a calm and laid-back family. I’ll need a securely fenced yard since I’m still learning how to walk on a leash. If you have other nice dogs, that’s fine. I’ve never met a cat, but foster dad thinks I’d be fine with a dog-savvy kitty. You’ll need to be careful to prevent escapes, since like many Shibas, I’m interested to explore what’s on the other side of an open door. I’m healthy – neutered and vaccinated and weigh 34 lbs. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for a sweet, calm, all-around nice dog to melt your heart and be your very best friend, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Then once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster dad so we can meet!

Story
My name is Faye and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m a 3 y.o. voluptuous, strong-willed beauty! I came to my foster home here in Machesney Park, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I made puppies. I’m not used to living in a house with humans, but I’ve figured out how to manage them. I’m a good girl – smart too! I don’t have accidents and I don’t bother anyone or get into any trouble. Well… not anything obvious. Foster dad would like to boss me around. He has tried hooking me up to a harness and a leash to lead me where he wants me to go. Nope. Absolutely not. I don’t make a fuss, though. I just lay there and don’t move. That’s my super power. You see, I’m a big girl. Currently 46 pounds of fabulous – like Lizzo as a red-head and without the glitter. I use all of my glorious presence to my advantage. Mostly, I confound foster dad by lying exactly in front of whatever door he’d like to open. To move me, he’s got to pick up all 46-pounds of me. Ha! He deserves it! Do you know what his pet-name is for me? The Land Whale! I mean seriously! My size doesn’t hinder me at all. I’m lightning fast when I want to be. I can squeeze myself into hiding places in the yard when foster dad wants me to come inside. There are other dogs here in my foster home, but I mostly just keep to myself. I ignore the 3-year-old human. But I’m growing quite fond of the 13-year-old human. I like to hang out in her room and I will usually obey foster mom, which of course drives foster dad crazy!! HA! My perfect forever family will be appropriately patient and understanding – and pet me when I’m ready for affection. If you have dogs or kids or kids, that’s fine. Cats? I’ve never met them, but I can probably ignore them too. You must have a securely fenced yard, since it’s gonna take work for me to be seen in public in that harness and leash contraption! I’m healthy – spayed and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and are ready for Fabulous Faye to enter your life, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster dad, so we can meet.

Story
My name is Sammy and I’m looking for my forever home! I am a curious, smart, goofy, playful and sweet boy, around 7 y.o. I live in Munster, IN, with my foster family, but for most of my life I lived at a commercial breeding facility where I helped make puppies. Living in a home with humans is so much nicer! At first, I was shy and skittish around people, but then I learned that humans give belly rubs! OMG - what could be better? So now I follow them around everywhere. I haven't met any little humans so far, so I don't know how I'd react to them. There are other dogs here and I love to play with them. Foster dad says I'm a little bit bossy with them sometimes, but we get along well. I like being outside in the fenced yard, especially during bunny season! I've caught 3 of them so far and always on the lookout for more. Yep. I got the Shiba prey-drive gene! Because of this, I'm probably not a good match for a home with cats or other small pets. I’m learning so many new things here, like how to walk on a leash. Foster dad says I'll be a pro with a bit more practice. I’m potty trained and a good boy in the house. I will happily entertain myself with my favorite squeaky ball. I get a bit anxious if left all by myself, but if there are other dogs around, that helps a lot. My perfect forever home will have experience preventing escapes from open doors, gates or fences, since I'm always looking to chase more bunnies. I'd love to have a securely fenced yard and another dog to keep me company, but those are not required. I weigh 30 lbs and a healthy boy - neutered and vaccinated. The vet says that my kneecaps are a little bit loose. They don't bother me and the vet does not feel that I need surgery at this time. If you live in the Midwest and want a handsome fella like me to give belly rubs to, visit www.savingshibas.com for more info and 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 dad so we can meet!
