Story
Meet Bolt Please read through everything carefully. We will continue updating as we learn more about this lovely boy. Bolt is a stunning young Shiba Inu (possibly with some distant American Eskimo or Husky influence) currently in our care. He is approximately one year old, neutered, and had a full veterinary workup on 2/27 with Dr. Lozada at Plant City Animal Hospital. Be sure to watch the posted videos. One shows how beautifully he walks on leash. The other captures his adorable habit of kneading and suckling a blanket like a kitten. The Good Stuff Bolt is: • Excellent on leash • Crate trained • Potty trained (no accidents in our care) • Extremely affectionate He prefers to be near his people and is overwhelmingly cuddly for a Shiba. He welcomes hugs, happily curls into a tight ball in your lap, gives kisses, and loves playtime. He would likely enjoy sleeping near his person. He has wonderful manners. He does not beg while you are eating and does not jump unless invited. He listens to “no” and responds quickly to correction. He enjoys toys and interactive play. He can get gently mouthy if invited into that kind of play but does not initiate it and knows not to bite down. He was clearly socialized appropriately as a puppy. At the vet, he showed zero fear. He greeted staff confidently and even tried to follow Dr. Lozada to the back. He is emotionally steady and socially confident. With Other Dogs We introduced him to our female dogs one at a time. He is playful and can get excited, sometimes attempting to mount when overstimulated, but he responds immediately to correction. His play is not rough, just enthusiastic. He will posture and push back if challenged, so he may not be ideal for a home with another strong alpha dog unless the adopter has experience with primitive breed dynamics. He is non-reactive and settles calmly even when separated by a baby gate. He is easily redirected and manageable, which makes future training very promising. Routine & Daily Life He has had no potty accidents. We crate at night and when leaving the house. He has adjusted well to nighttime crating and is no longer barking once settled into routine. He may briefly protest during transitions in a new home but does settle. He should be crated when alone, as he is young and will chew accessible items like cords or shoes. He rides well in the car and loves pup cups. Dog seatbelts are mandatory. Important Safety Requirements Bolt is a runner. This is a Shiba trait, not a behavior flaw. He must always be secured in an escape-proof harness clipped to a martingale collar when outside of a fully contained area. We will provide both at adoption. We strongly prefer a secure 6 ft fenced yard (not chain link). Extra caution must be taken at doors and gates. Shibas are planners and highly capable of exploiting small mistakes. Diet He is currently eating Science Diet kibble mixed with canned of the same formula. GPS Requirement All Shiba Saviors adoptions require active GPS tracking. Adopters receive a free FI Mini device and six months of service (adopter pays $20 activation fee). Continued subscription is required under our adoption agreement. ⸻ Bolt is young, affectionate, confident, and highly trainable in the right hands. We are seeking a fantastic home experienced with flight-risk breeds who understands containment and is ready to bond deeply with an exceptional young Shiba. Applicants will be reviewed, and interviews and meet-and-greets scheduled as appropriate. Adoption fees will be discussed during that process.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This adorable little boy was picked up as a stray in Kentucky, so we know absolutely nothing about his past.  But we've learned a lot about him while he has been in our care!    He is very affectionate and loves to be with his human(s) at all times.    He's about 8 years old, and weighs 23#.   We think he prefers to be the only dog in the home.  Initially we thought he would probably enjoy having a canine friend to play with (one who will likely allow him to be alpha), but now we think he would prefer to be an 'only child'.   He's curious about cats, but hasn't bothered the cats in his foster home. Auggie does great on a leash, he's good in the car, house trained and will let you know when he has to go outside and potty.  He easily uses doggie stairs to get up into bed, and he's a great couch companion.  Like many Eskies, he is vocal and slightly demanding at times when he wants something.   He loves his food, and even loves frozen green beans as a treat!  He's currently on a prescription canned food to keep crystals from forming in his urine, which he loves.  It's readily available at Chewy and in pet stores.    (he has a written script for the food, which we will give to adopter).  He does best on soft and canned foods, due to the fact that he had severe periodontal disease when we got him.  He had multiple cracked, broken, and missing teeth, and the vet gave him a 4/4 score for his dental condition.  We usually see that when dogs have spent a lot of time chewing on kennel bars, or trying to eat rocks.   When Auggie had his dental done, most of his teeth were removed, and we're sure he's feeling so much better now because of that.   If you have any questions about Auggie, please contact Cheryl@eskierescuers.org.  Or complete our online Adoption Application, the link is part way down this page: https://www.eskierescuers.org/info/display?PageID=21057  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state. If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.    AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION or FOSTER -- LUNA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA !     Meet Luna, an energetic, playful, healthy young female, who loves people and exploring her surroundings.  She is intelligent, quite clever, and a quick learner.  Luna loves playing with her toys or ball toss (she will even bring it back to you!), going for car rides, and watching TV with her foster mom.  She loves being outside, and can happily spend time exploring, chewing on sticks, chasing squirrels, or just resting in the grass.     Luna is an Eskie mix with naturally short fur, a curled tail and brown ears, so she's low maintenance and could be the perfect dog for someone that loves the Eskie intelligence and personality, but without so much shedding or the need to groom quite as often.  She is leash trained, house trained, and well-behaved when left home alone.  Luna weighs 29 pounds, and is estimated to be about 3 or 4 years old.     Luna is currently in a foster home with 4 other dogs.  She gets along with the smaller dogs but doesn't like a senior male in the home.  As a result, she requires supervision when interacting with the other dogs and needs to be kept isolated when the foster is not at home.  It appears Luna was not properly socialized to other dogs as a puppy, and exhibits dog reactivity.  She's curious about other dogs, but isn't comfortable with general interaction with them.  She barks and wants them to stay away from her.     It would be more comfortable for Luna to be the only pet in the home; however, with a little time and patience, we think she would adopt to another non-threatening, smaller dog.  Correcting dog reactivity takes time and socialization training, and Luna is smart and likes to learn.  She quickly understands new expectations.  Luna's probably not the best "first dog" candidate, so we recommend a dog-experienced adopter.  To help the adopter, Eskie Rescuers United will provide online behavior modification training sessions with Baltimore K9 Tutors   ( https://www.baltimorek9tutors.com/about/meet-the-trainers )    Luna was curious and friendly when she met the children next door, but we think she would probably prefer a home without kids, particularly very young children.     She has a strong prey drive, so we don't recommend a home with cats.  Luna LOVES exploring the outdoors!  While not mandatory, she would be very happy with a fully fenced yard.     If you have any questions about Luna, please send an email to:   Cheryl@eskierescuers.org OR text Luna's foster mom Helen at:  407-923-3389   To submit an adoption application for Luna, please complete and submit our online Adoption Application.  You'll find the link for it partway down this page on our website: https://www.eskierescuers.org/info/display?PageID=21057   For more information and to see more pics of Luna, please click on this link to learn more about her:   Whenever possible, Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out our dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where they're being fostered).  Please note that ERU processes local applications before considering those that are farther away.  Adoption fee applies.     Not good with cats, good with adults, does good in the car, leash trained, likes to play with toys, playful, affectionate, intelligent    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
