Benita is an 8-year-old spayed female Basenji mix who proves that age is just a number. She’s energetic, active, and always up for fun. She did well with dogs in her finder’s home and greets life with a happy-go-lucky attitude. Benita is friendly, opinionated, and full of personality. Because of her energy level, she may not be the best match for a home with cats.

Story
Sugar is a 7 year old Jeju/Jindo/Shepard mix. Super sweet. Likes to be outside and would prefer to have a lot of space to run and explore. She is a very curious active dog. It breaks my heart, but I will be having surgery, and I need to rehome her as soon possible. I can no longer care for her. Please help us find the right home for her. In addition, I have moved to Texas and my son has small children. She has nipped at them. Mostly because the kids don't respect her boundaries. She is ok with other dogs as long as she is not crowded in with them. She would be great with one person who works from home. Or a farm with space to be off leash.

Story
My name is Murray and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 6 y.o. and weigh 28 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Eagan, MN, after I was brought to a shelter as a stray. My foster family can tell that I once had a family, because I’m fully house trained and know how to sit and lie down on command. And when they said my favorite words - “car ride” - I got so excited! I’m sweet and goofy, but I’ve also got quirks. For example, I love people and belly rubs and petting and affection – but so far, only on my terms. I’ll approach you and nudge you when I’m ready. But I am not keen on being handled, so getting a harness on and off can be an ordeal. Yes, there is screaming involved (have you heard a Shiba scream?) There are other dogs here and I’ll play for short spurts, but when I’m done, or not in the mood, I’ll bare my teeth and snap the air to say “back off.” The dogs here respect that, so there have been no problems. I’m neutered, healthy and vaccinated. My foster family noticed that my ears were bothering me, and the dermatologist thinks that I may have allergies. Now that I have medication, they are feeling better. Because I don’t like being handled, going to the vet is stressful for me. My foster family says it works best when I’m sedated ahead of time. My perfect forever family will be experienced and patient as I build trust, and I’ll be the perfect low-maintenance companion. I love to chase critters outside, so cats and small pets are probably not a good match. Same with little kids – not a good fit for my personal space needs. I’d love to have a securely fenced yard. If there is a respectful resident dog, they’ll need to make sure that they can introduce us slowly over time and with careful supervision. I can be vocal, so an apartment with shared walls might not be a good fit. If you live in the Midwest and want a laid-back buddy like me to hang out with, 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 introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!

Story
Hi, it’s me—the world’s biggest fan of squeaky toys, cuddles, and ignoring the concept of personal space. If you sit down, just know I’ll be sitting on top of you within seconds, preferably with a toy in my mouth that I’ll squeak right into your ear while declaring my love. I currently share my life with two other dogs, and together we’ve formed a professional-level tug-of-war team, but I’m also down for a good game of chase outside. Speaking of outside, it’s my happy place—I’ll strut on a leash like I own the block or hang out on a tie-out. I’m also a kennel pro. I’ll snooze in there no problem, but between us, I’d rather snuggle in bed with you because cuddles > everything. At mealtimes, I like to think of myself as a food enthusiast—okay fine, a food hog—but my foster mom promises me I’ll never have to compete again, so I’m practicing my manners. I enjoy staring dramatically out the window, plotting how to catch squirrels and rabbits (spoiler: they’re winning). I’ve got plenty of energy, but once I wear myself out, I turn into a certified cuddle bug. So—what do you say? Want to adopt a toy-obsessed, cuddle-demanding, squirrel-watching sidekick who will keep life fun, funny, and full of squeaks?   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, dental, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $450.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 10:19 pm
