Story
Here we have a litter of beautiful Shiba Inu mixes who are looking for their Valentines! We know you'll want to invite one of them into your home! Their names are Yuki, Vivianne, Crystal, Celyn, and Aspen, and they're presently 4 months old, weighing 18 to 20 puppy pounds. When they mature, they'll probably weigh about 40 pounds. Each of these precious pups gets along well with other dogs, kids and their foster's cat. A delightful group of happy pups! Will you choose one to be your Valentine? (posted 1/24/26, TN) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **March 18, 2026, 3:11 am
