DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Tank is bonded with Rusty, 10yo, weighs 50-60lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Tank has free roam of the house during the day and sleeps on the couch or on his bed at night.  There are no issues with Tank during car rides.  He does, however, dislike/fear thunder/loud noises. Tank's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  Tank's current guardian is fostering him and Rusty and has been since she rescued them from an untenable living situation in December 2023.  Since their foster provider/guardian already has 2 dogs of her own, she must rehomed them, preferably together. Tank's guardian states the following regarding children:  Tank lives with children, ages birth to 7yo, so his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "Similar to Rusty, he likes to be petted but will typically the just relax/find his own spot". Tank's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Tank lives with dogs, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "While on walks, he's not too interested in other dogs.  If living in a house with other dogs, I would recommend calm dogs.  I have two small/more active dogs, and Tank doesn't like when they play". Tank's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Tank hasn't lived with cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats. Tank's guardian describes him as: Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Tank's guardian describes his ideal future home:   "Tank gets very excited to go outside, so I would love for him to have a fenced in yard in his forever home.  I would also really like to place Tank and Rusty together.  Tank gets a little anxious/nervous (it took about 3-4 weeks for him to get settled in my home), so a calmer home would be ideal. I would also love to keep in touch/could be a dog-sitter if/when needed." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Gambrills, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

Story
Rosie is a senior Shiba Inu who ended up at Animal Control after her human passed away in her home, and no one knew for some time. Her extended family tried to keep her for a few days, but she can be a bit snappy with people she doesn’t know. When the DC SIR Volunteer picked her up she was put into a crate for transport. She doesn’t like crates and let everyone know. When her foster dad picked her up at the transfer location, she snapped and snarled. Luckily, her new foster dad didn't have a crate and allowed her to lean on him and cuddle on his lap on part of the drive. Fortunately, her foster parents have worked with fearful and reactive dogs, so they knew how to build gain her trust. She can go in and out to their backyard to potty without issue. She loves all the yummy raw food her foster parents give her; she can gently take treats from them, but will growl if she thinks they might get too close. Her foster parents see that she is a sweet girl who needs savvy adopters who will take the time to earn her trust so that I can feel safe to be herself. She may not be a big cuddler, but she can bring happiness to a family that will take the time to give her a loving home.

Story
Hi everyone, my name is now Hope. My name is a Fourth of July/ Freedom theme, which is what our Country has given so many people. I am an 8-year-old red female Shiba Inu who was just rescued from an Arkansas breeding facility with 8 other Shiba Inu. I was nervous about this new life and all the strange sights and sounds. Feeling the grass under my feet gave me hope for a better life. I pranced on the grass and explored the yard at Shiba HQ. I lived my whole life in a 4 x 6 run, so this new world can be a bit scary. Luckily, I got to go to a foster home with another Shiba Inu, DC SIR alum, Shiloh, who was also rescued from a large Midwest breeding facility last year. My foster parents think I am even more confident than Shiloh! I warmed up quickly to my foster pawrents and sisfur and I love to run around and explore all the new things! I am still being potty trained, but I will catch on to this quickly! I still need to be spayed, and I will also need to have dental work, so make sure to wish me luck for a safe and speedy surgery! I think you will be able to see how happy I am in my videos. DC SIR said I was great at body handling during my shower! I didn’t even mind having my nails trimmed, but I wasn’t that excited about it either. I know my foster pawrents need a few items to help me adjust to my new life, so they have an Amazon Wish List just for me! If you could help send me a couple of goodies I promise to dance and prance for you in a video!

Story
Hi everyone, my name is now Indy, short for Independence, which my foster parents picked for my Fourth of July name! I was rescued with 8 other Shiba Inus from an AR breeding facility. I am a 5-yr-old B & T Shiba I & was lactating when I got to DC SIR. The facility said I didn’t have puppies so maybe it is a false pregnancy. I was one of the more fearful Shibas that arrived at Shiba HQ. I always ran to hide behind the other Shibas when I was outside. The DC SIR volunteers noticed I kept gravitating to one of the female Shibas, Summer, so they decided to keep me with her since one of the foster homes could take two of us. I was very good in my bath and nail trim, but I will scramble away unless you approach me slowly for body handling. Since arriving in my foster home, I prefer to tuck myself into a corner or under a blanket to feel secure. When I am outside, I pace the perimeter, looking for ways to escape, or I try digging under the fence. I am feeling more secure now, and I am less focused on escaping. I am learning to be more confident through Summer's example. While I am not required to be adopted with Summer, DC SIR thinks I would benefit from living with another friendly and confident dog. I will need to be spayed and have dental work done before I am available for adoption. However, if you think I am a good fit for your family, you can apply to adopt me, and we can have a meet and greet before my surgery. I also have an Amazon Wish List for items to help me transition to my life of Freedom!
