Dayna 801-458-3525We got this good boy at 12 weeks, he`s a sweetheart inside and out. He`s great with kids, cats and chickens. He listens well, he stays in the yard, he is an indoor dog but loves to play outside and can keep himself busy throwing a ball to himself for hours. He is the most loving loyal boy.

Story
Hi, I'm Makdoong, a 10-year-old Shiba Inu whose name means "little youngest one"-and yes, I still enjoy a little bit of that baby-of-the-family treatment! I'm calm, dignified, and independent, but I do love gentle scratches, quiet companionship, and snuggling up with a towel or soft blanket. Toys aren't really my thing, but routine, patience, and affection are right up my alley. Life with me is relaxed, peaceful, and full of subtle charm, and if you're looking for a loyal companion who brings calm energy and a little "youngest one" magic to your home, I'm your Makdoong.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior-to-Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: White Weight: 17 Age: 10yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Arong, a 10-year-old Shiba Inu, and my name is as sweet as I am-think of it as a gentle whisper in a busy world. I'm a sensitive, thoughtful lady who enjoys calm walks, quiet attention, and gentle affection on my terms. I'm not much for toys or chews, but I do love connecting with people patiently and thoughtfully, especially when treats come straight from your hand. Life with me is about slow moments, trust, and plenty of gentle scratches-I may be cautious, but I promise my heart is full of love for the right person. If you're looking for a serene, loyal companion who thrives in a peaceful, steady home, I'm Arong, ready to be your calm little shadow.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior-to-Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: White Weight: 21.3125 Age: 10yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Soon Doong, an 8-year-old Shiba Inu, and my name literally means easygoing and amicable, which I take very seriously as a personal brand. I'm the kind of guy who believes life is best enjoyed calmly, with good vibes, gentle encouragement, and excellent butt scratches (those are non-negotiable). I may take my time when I'm feeling unsure, but once I'm comfortable, I'm happy to soak up affection and keep you company with my mellow, friendly presence. I'm not here to rush, wrestle, or cause chaos-I'm here to prove that being Soon Doong is a lifestyle. If you're looking for a sweet, steady companion who moves at his own pace and brings peaceful energy wherever he goes, I think we'd get along very Soon Doong.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior-to-Senior program"Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: White Weight: 18.8 Age: 8yrs 0mths 1wks
