Story
Kiara is a 9-year-old female Shiba Inu with a gentle, easygoing personality. She’s incredibly sweet with people and children, making her an ideal companion for a family, a couple, or a single person who wants a well-behaved, low-maintenance dog. Unlike younger Shibas, Kiara doesn’t have the intense puppy energy or training challenges — she’s already house-trained, respectful, and easy to care for. She enjoys daily walks, being near her people, and relaxing in a cozy spot at home. Her temperament is stable, predictable, and trustworthy, which is rare for this breed and a huge advantage for adopters who want a smooth transition. Kiara is up to date on vaccinations and has no known major health issues. She’s been well cared for, loved, and socialized her whole life — this is a responsible rehoming, not a surrender due to behavior problems. ❤️ Why she’s a great fit: • Calm, gentle, affectionate • Amazing with kids • House-trained and easygoing • Ideal for first-time Shiba owners •

Story
Our once shy puppy girl Roxie has grown into a playful canine socialite!! Sharing adventures and new experiences with fellow dogs has enabled her to unleash her inner puppy!! Roxie can play all day with her dog pals.. trail blaze in a pack on long leashes.. nose to the ground and her curly little tail high and waggy! Once completely shut down and cowering in corners, "foxy Roxie" now chases balls.. and often returns them except in the event she gets side tracked by the sight of a whirring ball tossed for another dog .. and off she goes to join the chase! One of her favorite games involves the hose.. on any setting! Roxie bites and snaps the out pouring water no matter what setting its on jet, shower or mist! She also kinda plays jump rope and repeatedly runs into the water spray full on.. getting drenched and loving's every moment!! Roxie has a number of unique and highly entertaining moves in her play style .. she actually bounces.. kangaroo style.. also literally leaps over her mates .. even those quite a bit taller than she is.. Roxie like a lot of dogs is really into rolling and somehow manages to roll in tandem with her pals .. almost as if merged into one dog! She's got great play etiquette.. smoothly moves from running chase games to prone mouth wrestling.. to sharing a drink at the water bucket and then lounging comfortably for a rest before it all starts again! THANK YOU for your interest in a rescue dog! Visit our website to fill out an application: www.fortheloveofdogsrescue.org We are a very small organization with limited staff, we ask that you contact us at: LoveDogs.BedfordNY@gmail.com We do ask that all potential adopters have a completed & approved application with us prior to scheduling a visit in order to help us streamline the process.

Story
Ari came to us as an owner surrender in July 2023, due to reactivity in his home. He is a 2 year old Shiba Inu that did not get the proper training and structure to truly thrive in his previous home (the only home he has ever known). We have seen an improvement since he arrived. He allows the people here to walk him and actually is very playful with toys. However, he is still weary of being pet if he doesn`t know you. Ari needs a home that will continue training, and get him accustomed to new surroundings, and people. Ari takes some time to trust you (can you blame him?), so multiple meet and greets are required (he IS WORTH IT!!). Our adorable fella already knows `sit` and `down` and with some extra TLC we now someone out there is going to be fast friends with Ari.If you want to find out more, contact our placement team at The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter:E: Adoption@hempsteadny.govE: Rescue@hempsteadny.govT: 516.785.5220#survivor #overbred #yorkie #doodle #husky #shepherd #terrier #mixedbreed #seeme #dogtiktok #doglove #blackwhite #brindle #senior #seniordogs #fosteringsaveslives #dogsrule #seniordog #seniordogs #animalrescue #rescued #shelterdog #shelterdogs #savealife #shelter #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #dog #dogs #dogstagram #rescue #instadog #dogoftheday #doglife #puppy #doglover #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogsofinsta #doglovers #rescuedogs #doggo #love #puppylove #muttsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #ilovemydog #happydog #adopt #cute #pitbull #mutt #dogsofig #pitbullsofinstagram #socialmediamutts #shelterfacebookdogs #dogmom #petsofinstagram #dogslife #instagram #cutedogs #of #shelterdog #cutedog #dogphotography #doglove #puppies #dogsofinstaworld #pets #rescuepup #pet #mixedbreed #petstagram #dogrescue #instadogs #rescuedogsrock #dontbullymybreed #adoptme #furbaby #hundeliebe #lovedogs #doggy #seniordog #rescueismyfavoritebreed #dogmodel #bruisednotbroken #decompressdoggy #bemyforever #whatisforeverfamily #loveme #shelterpup #shelterpups #eastcoastshelterdogs #eastcoastshelterdog

Story
Hoshi is a 5 1/2 year old Shiba Inu who needs a new home due to aggression towards other dogs in the home. She is a loving dog towards her person and a homebody, preferring to stay in her yard and sun herself. Hoshi is pretty low energy and would make a good companion for someone looking for an independent lowkey dog. She is housebroken but familiar with wee wee pads. Hoshi needs to go to a home without other dogs/cats, and absolutely no children. Hoshi is a very nervous dog and has some behavioral problems like reactivity towards strangers and other dogs while on leash. Hoshi needs an experienced adopter who understands her breed and behavioral problems.

Story
Meet Dongree   Breed: Shiba mix Age: 4 years old Sex: Spayed female Colour: Brown Weight: 14kg Height (to shoulder): 45cm   Rescue Story   Donggree was rescued from a city shelter’s euthanasia list and has been waiting patiently ever since for a family of her own.   She may take a few days to open up — usually between 3 days to a week — but once she feels safe, her loving and playful personality shines through. She’s affectionate with familiar people and allows gentle handling or even being lifted once trust is built.   Personality & Socialization   Donggree has the classic Shiba mix personality — a little cautious at first, independent, yet deeply loyal once she bonds with you.   She gets along well with most dogs, both larger and smaller, but can react if another dog challenges her. For this reason, careful introductions with new dogs are recommended. With friendly dogs, however, she loves to play and enjoys companionship.   Her reaction to cats hasn’t been observed yet.   Energy Level & Behavior   Donggree has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor walks and activities but settles calmly afterward. She walks well overall, though she may pull on the leash occasionally. Once the leash is on, she follows nicely and enjoys the walk.   She doesn’t guard food from people or other dogs and behaves quietly in her kennel. She feels anxious about car rides, so she prefers to be held during transport.   She’s comfortable using both pee pads indoors and pottying outdoors, which makes her adaptable to different home environments.   A Loyal and Independent Spirit   Donggree is a bright, affectionate girl with that unmistakable Shiba charm — loyal, clean, and quietly confident. She may be cautious at first, but with patience and consistency, she opens up to reveal a loving heart.   Once she trusts you, she’ll become your faithful shadow, following you with her signature calm energy and gentle eyes.   Ideal Home: A patient and understanding family who can give her the time she needs to build trust. A home that appreciates the independent but affectionate nature of Shiba mixes would be perfect for her.   Donggree may take a little time to trust, but once she does, she’ll stay by your side for life — loyal, loving, and full of quiet strength. Apply to foster or adopt to show her how beautiful the world can be. www.adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.
