Story
For the last eight years Tintin has been part of our families life. He also has another Shiba Inu in our home and also is friends with our two cats. From the moment , I brought him home her made it clear he was not the average dog. Independent, clever, and Houdini like escape artist skills. Tintin can sniff out a weak spot in our wooden fence like a trained professional. Once he escapes he runs around the neighborhood until he is tired and comes back home. The issue is catching him. As we try to go toward him he moves further away, rarely listening to us to come back. Often the neighbors catch him and bring him back since he always goes to strangers and not family. At home, he is loyal in his own Shiba way...often looking out the window..and looking at potential freedom. He does not need constant attention. Tintin is very athletic and can run very fast through the neighborhood. That is the only reason we would like to find a new home for him.

Story
My name is Anne and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m still a puppy – I’ll turn 1 in mid-September. I currently weigh 18 pounds. I came to my foster home here in Dorchester, IA, from a commercial breeding facility where I was born. I’m still getting used to being a pampered pet. I’m skittish around loud noises and unexpected movements, but my curiosity is starting to show. I may be shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’ll greet you with tail wags and wiggles and lots of love! I follow my foster mom around the house. There are kids here, and I’m still scared of them. Their fast movements and squealy noises spook me. I get along with other dogs, as long as we’re introduced slowly. I love to play chase and I’ve got lots of puppy energy! Sometimes I play rough, so if my forever family has a resident dog, they should be tolerant of my puppy antics. There are cats in my foster home and I don’t bother them. Like a lot of puppies, I love to chew and rip up things – like grass or toys (I’m an expert de-stuffer) or even furniture if foster mom isn’t keeping an eye on me. I’m a good girl in my kennel when foster mom is sleeping or when she leaves the house. I’m getting the hang of potty training. I don’t make messes in my kennel if foster mom takes me out on schedule when we wake up. I can walk on a leash, but I prefer to do my business in the fenced yard here. I’m not a fan of baths. Nope. My perfect forever home will have patient humans and a resident dog or two to help train and guide me as I grow up. No small kids, please! My forever family should be careful to guard against escapes, especially around open doors or gates or fences, since I inherited the Shiba “escape artist” gene. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. I have a mild heart murmur (grade 1-2) which doesn’t cause me any problems. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for an active, affectionate, pretty girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom, so we can meet!

Story
My name is Penny and I’m looking for my forever home. My must haves are: a patient forever family who will help me continue to learn to trust humans, and a securely fenced yard, since I am not yet comfortable walking on leash. A resident dog or two is recommended. I’m 6 years old and I came to SIRA from a commercial breeding facility where I was a breeder mama. When the breeder didn’t want me anymore, SIRA rescued me and brought me to my foster home here in Davenport, IA. I was so scared when I first arrived here – it’s so different than everything I knew. It has taken me some time to learn that humans here are kind to me. I’m still very cautious, but I am learning that attention from humans can be nice. My foster mom sometimes brings me over to the couch to sit on her lap. That feels nice and cozy and I will happily stay there. But when humans are moving around, I move away or just stay in my safe spot. I’m also figuring out that the humans here have yummy things to eat! It’s taken me a while, but I’m brave enough now to take treats from my foster mom’s hand. There are other dogs here in my foster home and I like them. We like to play together, especially around bedtime when I start to get the zoomies. I am a healthy girl – spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and I weigh around 18 lbs. My perfect forever family will be experienced with dogs like me who are shy and skittish. I’d love to have another nice dog friend or two to play with. They really help me feel safe and learn all about being a treasured family member. I haven't had the chance to meet any cats or small kids, so I don't know what I'd think of them. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a sweet, shy, Pretty Penny to be by your side, the first step is to visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.
