Story

🌸 Kintsugi: Floofy, Gentle, and Full of Heart 🌸 Meet Kintsugi, a 5-year-old male Shiba Inu with a soft, floofy coat and a calm, kind demeanor. Kintsugi is the definition of gentle and affectionate—but he’s looking for a very specific kind of home: one with adults only, ideally with female companions, as he prefers calm, mature energy and doesn’t do well with children. This sweet boy thrives in peaceful environments, enjoys quiet companionship, and blossoms when given patience, respect, and understanding. Kintsugi may take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, his loyalty and love are boundless. Adopt Kintsugi and bring home a serene, loving Shiba Inu whose calm presence and floofy charm will make every quiet moment together feel special. Update from Kintsugi's foster: "Hello, I just wanted to send an update with my experience as temporary fostering Kintsugi this past weekend. He was the perfect house guest. He is truly a mellow, low maintenance kind of guy. He was slightly shy and timid at first but once he realized he was in a safe space he shined. Kintsugi gets his occasional zoomies and was quite playful with my female corgi but really prefers to spend most of his time in comfy spot to rest whether that be against a cool window where he can watch the squirrels in the trees or snuggled up on a plush dog bed. Once he trusts you he likes to follow you around the house from room to room. His first day with us he did have some accidents I believe just due to being overwhelmed in a new environment but the rest of the weekend he appeared to be house trained as we had no accidents the rest of the time with us. Of course any adopter should be understanding it may take time for him to get used to a new routine. While I was out of the house he free roamed and he was perfectly respectful, not destructive, no issues at all. He took his seizure meds like a champ folded up in a piece of cheese as well. He loved his cheese tax. No seizures noted."

Story

Rosie is a 5 year old purebred Shiba Inu that we had since her birth on May 5, 2020. Her father is a black and tan Shiba Inu and her mother is a red Shiba Inu (accidental breeding). Due to illness, I can no longer care for her the way she deserves. She is a highly energetic, very intelligent, and very typically Shiba. I would prefer she goes to a home that has practical knowledge of the breed or a breed of similar temperament. She is very sweet and loyal to her humans. She does NOT get along with other female dogs. Introduction to any other male dogs should be done slowly. She was besties with my male foster Cane Corso. She thinks cats are kindred spirits and playmates. She grew up in a house with her parents, two cats, and four human children. Important note: she is an escape artist. She needs a fenced in yard (with some underground) and a family that can keep her intellectually stimulated. She would also do well with agility training - very fast and likes to play soccer.

Story

My name is Nadia and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m still a puppy – I just turned 1 in October. I came to my foster home in Sussex, WI, when my owner could no longer care for me. I’m a healthy girl –currently 21 lbs of smarts, sass, and sweetness, according to my foster mom. I am having a lot of fun here at my foster home. I love being outside and have lots of energy when we go for walks – I like going fast and I can pull – especially when I see a squirrel or other critter that I want to chase. Yep, I’m a typical Shiba in many ways. I can be willful and I play hard, with all of the ferocious sound effects that come with it. I’m an expert toy-destroyer and shoe thief, and my side-eye is on point. I’m super smart and learn quickly, like how to sneak a treat off of a human plate or counter top if left unattended and in my reach. I’m also a master escape artist (I don’t like being confined by gates or crates). But I didn’t get the memo that said Shibas were supposed to be reserved and aloof. I love to cuddle and am super affectionate. I even sleep under the covers with my foster parents. I get sad and worried when my people leave the house, but am okay if there is another dog or person there to comfort me. And when they come back home (even if it’s only been 20 minutes) I throw a party with barking, butt wiggles, and leaping! My perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard where I can run and play and a family who understand how to be careful around open doors and gates to prevent escapes. I’d love to have another nice dog to play with, as long as they don’t mind me stealing their toys or their spot on the sofa. I will stand up for myself if needed too! I have met cats and like to play with them. I haven’t met any human kids, so I don’t know what I’d think of them, but foster mom thinks I’d be okay with older kids. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and potty trained. If you live in the Midwest and want a fun, snuggly girl like me to add sparkle to their life, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
