Personality: Your future fox-like sidekick with a PhD in Shiba-ology.
If you know Shibas, you already get it. If you don’t… well, buckle up for a masterclass in independence, intelligence, and “I’ll cuddle you when I feel like it, human.”
Jake is a 7-year-old Shiba Inu gentleman who’s smart, spirited, and believes life is best lived with equal parts adventure and personal space. He’ll absolutely come in for affection — on his schedule — and when he does, it’s worth every second.
His hobbies include:
-Tossing toys around like a professional athlete
-Going on walks (the longer, the better)
-Collecting treats and convincing you he definitely deserves another
-Outwitting humans… in the most charming way possible
House manners? Impeccable.
Jake is 100% housetrained, has perfect home-alone etiquette, and hasn’t destroyed a single thing. No crate needed — he’s a trustworthy dude.
He rocks that classic Shiba double coat, which means he’s extra fluffy and also… extra sheddy. Consider it a lifestyle, not a flaw.
Generally chill and quiet — unless someone approaches his castle. Then you’ll get a polite (but confident) “Alert! A peasant approaches!” bark.
Jake loves a good romp in the yard and playing fetch, but a fence is not required if he can get physical activity in other ways.
New Home: Jake is the perfect partner for someone who loves to walk, hike, throw a ball, and appreciate a dog who’s equal parts loyal companion and independent thinker.
If you’re Shiba-savvy — or Shiba-ready — Jake just might be your perfect match.
