Story
My name is Dash and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 1 y.o. and weigh 19 lbs. My must haves: a quiet home with another nice dog to help show me the ropes. No little kids please (they scare me!). I came to my foster home here in Montague, MI, from a commercial breeding facility that was shutting down. It was not a very nice place, but it was the only place I knew. So this new world - living in a home with humans - is scary to me. I’m a shy boy, so it takes time for me to trust humans. I like cuddling on the sofa with my foster mom and I enjoy it when she pets me, but most other people scare me (especially men). But I get along great with the other dogs here. I love to play-fight with my little foster fur-sister and the dogs really help me feel safe when we go for leash walks outside. Loud noises spook me – like garbage trucks. There is such good food here! Foster mom says being food-motivated will help with training in my new home. I also love chewing things. I can tear a tennis ball to pieces! You’ll need to take care that I don’t chew something that you want to keep (um… like remote controllers). There are teenagers here in my foster home and I am getting used to them. I haven’t met any cats or other small pets yet. While I like most things about this new life, I am learning that I’m not a fan of baths or being left alone. I am crated at night and when the humans aren’t home to keep an eye on me. If I haven’t had enough exercise and I’m antsy, I may howl in my crate to let you know that I’m not happy there. I am a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. But I was born with a loose kneecap on my rear right leg. The vet says that I may need surgery in the future to correct it. My perfect forever family will be patient with me as I learn to trust. Experience with fearful/shy dogs is preferred, especially caution around open doors and gates to prevent escapes. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a handsome boy like me, 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 mom so we can meet!
