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
Meet Nugget 🐾 Nugget was my mom’s dog before she passed away, and I’m hoping to find him a loving home for his senior years. He is 10 years old, a small mixed breed (possibly Shepherd mix) around 20 lbs, neutered, house trained, and crate trained. He has moderate energy, enjoys walks, toys, bones, and cuddling, and is great with strangers. Nugget would do best in a calm home without other pets or small children. He does not like being picked up and can be protective of food around other dogs, but is fine with people. Nugget currently needs treatment for an ear infection, updated shots, and a nail trim, which I unfortunately cannot afford. He would do best with an experienced owner who can help with his care. $100 rehoming fee to ensure a responsible home.

Great and sweet dog. We are expecting our 3rd child. Arlo needs attention and land to run free and enjoy life but unfortunately we can not offer that to him anymore. Great with kids and super loving. Very sad to see him go but he deserves better

Story
we first adopted Simba at 6 months old and we fell in love with him. He is very energetic. Loves to be around the kids of all ages. From our experience he is good with kids ages four and up. Our teenage sons bring friends over and he gets really excited but never bites anyone. Gets very excited when you come home. Loves to run in the back yard, sunbathing, is really good with walks and does not bark at dogs but he has never been to dog parks. He is scared of fireworks. Enjoys treats and snuggling in blankets. He is a giant loving baby. Does not chew or tear furniture/ or anything up when he is home alone. Loves to nap. Simbas favorite food is RedFord naturals (no chicken anything he is allergic). Unfortunately we have to rehome him due to us having to relocate and the only place that would take us does not take pets. We love him and want him to find a loving family as well.

Story
I am looking to rehome my 4 year old male Shar Pei. His name is Bentley, he is neutered, house broken and create trained. He weighs about 60 lbs. Bentley is a gentle giant, he loves hugs and kisses. He thinks he is a lap dog, he always wants to try and sit on your lap. The reason why I am looking to rehome him is because he does not get along with my smaller dog. Bentley needs to be the only dog in the home or around dogs his size. He does not do to well around little dogs.

Story
Fit Loving Companions. Basil and Scout are 3.8 years old, both weigh less than 5lbs and were born in the same litter. Both are great with children and adults. Will growl with each other over toys. Most of the time they will sleep together and sometimes will sleep in their individual beds which are paired side by side. The last year they’ve barked during my work hours which range from 8-12 hours daily. They thrive as Companions and are greatly suited to human who is retired or works few hours. They are Pad Trained, Affectionate, and love to cuddle.
