Story
I got Yori since 2015; as a puppy. He was house trained for first 2 years, because of our rent agreements we couldn’t have pet in the house so have him in the backyard most of the time. Also, due to a significant change in my personal circumstances, which includes a demanding new work schedule and the arrival of a new baby, I am no longer able to give Yori the time, attention, and exercise Yori deserves. I hope to find a new home Yori where he can a consistent care and love. I am committed to a thorough process to ensure he goes to the perfect, permanent home.

Zoe

Shiba Inu

Female, Senior
San Marcos, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zoe is a beautiful 9-year-old Shiba Inu looking for a calm, child-free home. She has been a beloved part of our family since a puppy, but with a toddler and a new baby on the way, we can no longer provide the controlled environment she needs to feel safe and relaxed. Zoe is an independent, loyal companion who enjoys quiet time and routine. She’s generally calm & quiet but has some behavioral sensitivities & can be reactive around children and other dogs and may snap if touched unexpectedly. Because of this, she’ll do best in a home without young kids or other pets, with someone experienced in understanding and managing Shiba behaviors. She is currently on medication for anxiety and allergies, which help her stay comfortable. Zoe is house-trained, crate-trained, up to date on vaccinations and vet visits, and prefers a peaceful environment with predictable routines. We are looking for a patient, responsible adopter who can offer Zoe a safe and loving home for her senior years!
