Story
Meet Guinness! This darling Shiba Inu is a 7 month old purebred weighing in at a whopping 27 lbs. Shibas are said to be an aloof breed, but Guinness did not receive that memo. He is an outgoing, tail wagging, airplane eared, kissing type of Shiba.  As a puppy he is still working on some basic manners, but with proper training will  learn quickly. Shibas are intelligent dogs and excel with positive reinforcement training. Guinness is food motivated and quite agreeable when treats are involved. Typical to the breed, he is already crate trained and potty trained and has had no accidents in his foster home. He loves to be outside, even in the colder weather, and would enjoy a fenced yard to run in. A 6 foot  privacy type fence would be best for him as Guinness has already demonstrated the ability to climb out of an exercise pen easily. He is working on leash manners. He is currently being fostered with both large and small dogs and has done great with everyone. He is an active, playful guy and would enjoy a canine companion or two with similar energy. He’s just a happy go lucky, sweet boy.  Guinness is neutered, fully vetted, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his forever family! His adoption donation fee is $475. Please apply on our website directly in the dropdown menu at https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org   PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application We do not have a facility. All of our animals are in volunteer foster homes. Once an application is pre-approved (contingent upon a home check) we will contact applicants that are a good match and set up a time for a meet. At that time we are happy to answer all of your questions. No inquiries prior to that please. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, examined by a vet, up-to-date on vaccinations, on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped. We adopt our animals as strictly inside companion pets. We will do a veterinarian reference check and a home safety check. We are located in Omaha, NE and we do not ship our animals. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us. Our requested adoption fees help go towards medical expenses, food, transportation, toys, and other supplies for our animals. We are a state licensed, 501c3 nonprofit rescue and the adoption donation may be tax deductible for you.  Thank you for choosing adoption!! March 31, 2026, 11:58 pm
