Story
Highlights: -Needs a fenced yard -Needs patient adopter-Prefers other calm dogs-Would do best with older children Hello, I'm Zoey, a nine-year-old Shiba Inu weighing in at 21 pounds. Life has made me quite timid, and I'm still learning to trust people. Right now, I'm not a fan of being picked up or held, and I tend to get pretty stiff when carried. But with time and patience, I will take treats from a human once I feel comfortable around them.I'm on a journey to find my comfort zone with other dogs. At first, I can be a bit awkward and even a little grumbly, but given some time, I start to come out of my shell and try to initiate play with my furry friends. When I do start to warm up, I make the cutest little play bows to let you know I'm ready to engage.I'm adaptable and could be happy either as the only dog in a home or with a canine companion that I feel comfortable with, but a home with a secure 5-foot fence is essential for me to feel safe and sound.I'm just starting to investigate toys and might soon discover the joy they can bring. I'm trying very hard to come out of my shell and embrace the world around me.If you have the patience and love to help me feel safe and cherished, I could be the loyal and gentle companion you've been looking for. Let's take this journey together-will you be my forever home?- - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Meet Ember, a sweet female Shiba Inu (weighing in at 16 lbs) recently rescued by National Mill Dog Rescue. Though she's a bit on the shy side, with time and patience, she'll reveal her truly incredible personality. She's looking for a gentle and loving home where she can grow and gain the confidence she was always meant to have.Stay tuned as we continue to learn more about her personality and watch her blossom into the wonderful companion she's destined to be!- - - - -Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogBiography Important Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Scamp, and I am a gorgeous Shiba Inu baby boy who was born 5/30/23, and I weigh 20 pounds. I am looking for my furever home with folks who understand the needs of my breed and a sibling to play with would be ideal. If you have been waiting for an adorable Shiba baby, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Scamp 081923-30  September 8, 2024, 6:45 pm
