Iris

Shepsky

Female, Adult

Hilliard, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Iris was adopted from a shelter about 3 years ago. The shelter said she was between 3 and 5, but her playfulness and enthusiasm indicates she is young for her age. Her owner is a 43-year-old single father of 2 teenagers. He had major heart surgery the day after Christmas and will not be able to take care of her. She is big and goofy and will not get it that she cannot jump on the couch with him now. She is house-trained and current on her shots. She has no underlying health or dental issues. She is chipped from the shelter where they got her. The teenagers agree that Iris needs a yard, not just a small apartment, or someone who can vigorously walk her several times a day. She gets along well with the 2 cats in the house, but probably does best if there are no other dogs around taking up attention.

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!

Brioche

Chihuahua Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog

Male, Young

Columbus, OH

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Brioche, a very active 1 year old pup. Thought to be a long haired chihuahua/sheltie mix. He prefers adventuring over other types of play. He loves kids and is very friendly with all people. Brioche has not been around other dogs so unsure how he is with them but with his playfulness we could see him loving a pal. He will chase the cats in his foster home but only to get them to play with him. He will need some training by his new owner but he is a smart boy and food motivated. Brioche is housebroken and enjoys baths and getting his nails trimmed. I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.
