Story
Hi, I'm Typhoon, a 10-year-old Shiba Inu who sounds like a major storm but is really more of a seasoned breeze with excellent manners and a lot of charm. I enjoy attention, especially good scratches, and I'm perfectly content keeping things calm and low-key rather than causing a whirlwind of activity. I've mastered the art of independent companionship, meaning I like being near my people while still doing my own thing, and I'm happiest with a steady routine and a peaceful place to call home. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who proves that a Typhoon doesn't have to be chaotic to be memorable, I might just be your perfect forecast.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior-to-Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 20 Age: 10yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Yeo Woo, an 8-year-old Shiba Inu, and my name means beautiful... which I'm told is extremely accurate. I have a calm, confident charm and a graceful way about me that proves beauty isn't just about looks, it's about vibes too. I enjoy attention once we get to know each other, happily allow handling, and appreciate gentle companionship more than wild antics. Toys aren't really my thing, but I do enjoy life's finer things, like consistency, patience, and humans who understand that a little independence is part of my sparkle. If you're looking for a steady, elegant companion who lives up to her name every single day, I might just be the Yeo Woo you've been waiting for.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior-to-Senior program"Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 17 Age: 8yrs 0mths 1wks
