Story
My name is Mister Clean and I’m looking for my forever home. Why am I named after a bald guy? Well, I came to SIRA after being found lying in mud on the side of the road, emaciated and bald from a severe flea infestation. I was in bad shape. X-rays showed metal and food wrappers in my tummy – I was so hungry I ate anything! My ears were infected and I was very anemic. But once I got food and vet care, things got much better! My fur started growing back and my ears healed. And I put on weight – I’m about 28 pounds now. I am being fostered just north of Columbus, OH. SIRA thinks I’m about 10 years old. I’m great with other dogs and I love cuddling with my foster family. Yep, you heard that right. I’m a “fake Shiba” since I love to snuggle. My foster family was told that I may have a disc problem in my back and maybe something going on with my hips, but so far, nothing slows me down. I dart, spin, and dance my way through the house! Every time I come in from a potty break, I get the most exquisite zoomies. I pirouette, fling myself up on the couch, and then dance around the whole house. I love going on walks with my foster family, getting treats and belly rubs, and perching on my favorite chair. I’ll happily speak up and tell you off if you’re too slow to take me outside or if you’re not sharing your treats with me. I am fully house trained and I do fine when my foster family has to leave the house. Now that I’ve beaten the odds, the only thing I need is a forever family. My perfect forever home will have a nice comfy spot with a sunbeam to nap in and someone who will let me sit in their lap and give me a rub-down. If there’s another nice dog, that would be great, but I’d probably do fine as an only dog as long as you spend time with me. I’d do best with a securely fenced yard, but also enjoy leash walks. I'm neutered and vaccinated and ready to go! I haven’t lived with children, cats or small pets, so I don’t know how I’d be with them. If you live in the Midwest and want to give my “rags to riches” story its happy ending, I promise I’ll be your fun, smart, spunky very best buddy. Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. I would love that!

Story
Bruno is a great dog , always looking for friends. He gets really excited over other dogs and squirrels! He is missing some teeth after having to have them removed so he needs his food softened. He was starved in a past life so he is a little food possessive but can be bribed with a treat. All he wants is love from his human and sometimes a friend to play with . He’s great with other dogs. He would do best in a home with older kids or just someone looking for a walking partner twice a day. He is a goof. But a great friend. I hate that I have to rehome him but I want to make sure he’s going to the right place for him. He does need his kibble soaked for a few minutes but he’s pretty easy !

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Details
Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bucky has a few years on him, but will make a wonderful companion for the right person. He can sit, stay, down on command (especially for Pupperoni). His owner is no longer able to care for herself or her pets. He is not terribly active and happy to lounge on the sofa! He's a friend who just wants to be with you :) He appears to have a grass allergy, and is on Apoquil for this, which is a prescription medication, but he might do well on zyrtec, which he hasn't tried. He has had excellent veterinary care his entire life, and his teeth are in great shape. Over the years he has tried some bad behaviors, which were not corrected, and has had maybe four or five incidents of food and leash aggression (hey, nobody's perfect!), so he needs to go to an experienced owner who will make him sit and stay before meals. He has not been around children. He will be a great companion for someone who is willing to give him a chance, and spend a little time bringing out his princely side!

Story
Babygirl has been my emotional support animal since I got her 12 years ago. Unfortunately my subsidiary housing management wont accept the paperwork necessary to keep her so they are threatening eviction if I dont get rid of her. It breaks my heart to have to let her go, but I have to choose between her or homelessness. She’s a really good, quiet, chill girl. She is 12 ( Senior) so sometimes she has accidents she is unable to control. She cannot jump on beds or anything like she used to so she mostly just lays in her soft little plush bed. She likes kibbles n bits mini bits and she will play with toys sometimes. She loves slim Jim’s as a snack. She loves people. She may not have very much time left on her hands but I would love for her to have a loving family or shelter to carry her through to the end.

Story
This is for two dogs that are brothers. They come from the same litter. Baxter is the brown one and Billy Bob is the black and white. We have temporarily taken them in as their owners are elderly and had to move to assisted living. They enjoy spending time outside and each other's company. They also enjoy napping. They are house trained but we do keep them in a secured room to avoid any accidents. They are not used to going on very many leash walks and need some practice with this. They have done well with boarding when needed. They do very well at the vet and are updated on all vaccines.
