Story
My name is Stan and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a laid-back 6-y.o. dude. I weigh 38 pounds. Okay stop! I’m just big-boned. I mean, I’m not going to say no to a snack if it’s offered, but... Until recently, I lived at a commercial breeding facility where I helped make puppies. Retirement is good! I’m still getting used to living in a home with humans, but rather than freak out, I’m going with the flow. I might be shy at first, but if you’re nice to me, I’ll return the favor. When I first came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, my coat was a hot-mess. I got my very first bath and was blowing tufts like crazy! I actually made a bed of my own fur to lie in! Seriously! It was soft! But then foster mom started to pluck. And she plucked and she plucked and I was so patient and just stood there. So yeah, I’m pretty chill. When foster mom and dad leave the house, I am fine relaxing in my crate. And when they come home, I’m learning that their affection feels good! There are other dogs here and I just let them go about their business. I don’t mind them, but I’m not gonna join their rough-housing and nonsense. My jam is to wander around the fenced yard smelling ALL OF THE SMELLS. So my ideal forever home will have a securely fenced yard for me to roam. I’m getting the hang of how to walk on a leash, but let’s just say it’s a work-in-progress. If you’re patient and know about shy dogs, that will be great. Otherwise, my needs are pretty simple. I’d love a human to hang out with. I won’t bug you all the time, but we will be buds. I’m not so sure about little kids. I hear that they squeal and run around and I’m not a fan of that. Plus, I don’t want to accidentally knock them over. I haven’t met any cats, but foster mom thinks I’d be okay with them. I’m a healthy boy, neutered and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and want a laid-back guy like me to hang out with, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to learn more and apply to become approved to adopt with SIRA. The application helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can tell if we might be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.

Story
My name is Paddington and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m one year old (as of April 19) and I am 25 lbs of high-octane LOVE! I came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, as a baby from a commercial breeding facility. I apparently didn’t get the memo that Shibas are reserved and shy. Nope. Not me! I’m a big, friendly, exuberant boy! I think everyone is my best friend and must want to play with me. And when I play, I play hard! Because I’m a bit rough for some dogs, foster mom keeps an eye on me. There are cats who live here and when I was younger, I chased them. I didn’t mean any harm, but they ran when I tried to play. Foster mom thinks I’d be okay with a really dog-savvy cat, but I’m probably a bit much for most cats and small pets. I haven’t met any human kids, but I bet I’d like them. If they’re really little, I might knock them over accidentally since I like to jump up on people for attention. Okay - I do wind down eventually, and once I do, I love to snuggle and get all of the affection you have to give. My perfect forever home will be an active one with another young, energetic dog for me to play with and people to take me on walks and adventures. Senior pups likely aren’t a good match for me – I’d drive them bonkers! I am a smart boy who is learning big-boy manners, like not pulling too hard on leash. Foster mom says I’m doing pretty well. I’m a good boy when foster mom leaves the house. I am house trained and stay in my kennel to make sure I don’t get into anything I shouldn’t. I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. The puppy mill where I was born suspected I had a heart murmur. But SIRA’s vet checked me out from head to toe and found absolutely nothing! They kept an eye on my hips too because they were aligned funny when I was little, but now that I’ve grown up big and strong, the vet says there are no issues! If you live in the Midwest and need more fun and play in your life, 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, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!!

Story
My name is Tina and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 7 y.o. and tiny, just 14 lbs. I may be small, but my personality is large and IN CHARGE! When I first came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, I didn’t know what to think. I’d spent my life at a commercial breeding facility where people were not nice. I was terrified, so I decided to act fierce any time foster mom or dad came near. But they were so nice and patient! They gave me space. One morning, as foster mom let me out to go potty, it dawned on me– WAIT, I feel SAFE! I stopped, turned around, and ran right to my foster mom. I gave her my best airplane ears and jumped up on her legs to tell her that I was ready for some love! So, I don’t act fierce anymore. My goofy self shines! I’m a good girl - potty trained and I keep myself busy with toys when foster mom is out. I love toys! Especially removing squeakers. And I love attention. Every time foster mom lets me outside, I first have to get some loving. There are lots of dogs in my foster home, and foster mom says I come on too strong sometimes and don’t get the hint when another dog is done playing. Okay. Fair enough. And there’s one dog named Dixie that I do NOT trust. I think I saw her give me the stink-eye once, so I tell her off any chance I get. Foster mom says Dixie is sweet and would never hurt me. But I’m not sold. So I guess I'm “dog selective.” Whatever. Foster mom says I'd do best as the only dog in my forever home. There are cats here too and I don’t bug them so, see? I’m a nice girl! I am healthy too – spayed and vaccinated. My forever home should be adults-only. I haven’t met any kids, but I'm pretty sure that they’d scare me and act fierce again. I’d love a securely fenced yard to run in. My family should be careful around open doors because Shibas are escape artists. I’m still learning about leash walks. I’ve practiced in the yard and could be a pro in no time. If you live in the Midwest and would like a sweet, goofy, girl with a BIG personality, here I am! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt. The application process helps SIRA learn about you and your home environment to 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 Jewel, and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a beautiful 6-y.o. I came to SIRA after the commercial breeding facility where I lived closed. I’m glad that hard life is behind me. When I first came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, I was so scared! I had never been outside of the breeding facility. My biggest comfort is the other dogs here. They help me feel safe. Foster mom says I’m a very good girl – a perfect little Jewel! I never make any noise or trouble. There are cats here and I never bother them. When my foster family goes out, I’m fine on my own. Honestly, I prefer when the humans aren’t around. You see, the people where I used to live were not nice it’s hard for me to trust. But I do like it here. There is a big fenced yard where I play with the other dogs. I’ve started to chase them and when the humans aren’t looking, I’ll relax and act silly. I’m a healthy girl – 28 lbs, spayed and vaccinated. During my spay surgery, I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and the vet recommends no future anesthesia if possible. My perfect forever home will need to be patient and understanding, because I may never be an affectionate or trusting dog. I’m truly happy when I’m with other dogs. I’ll need at least one nice dog to be my friend and help me feel safe. I’ll need a securely fenced yard too. Foster mom has tried and tried to get me to walk on a leash and I just freeze. A quiet adults-only home (no shared walls) will be best for me. No children – they scare me too much. Experience with shy/fearful dogs will help, and my forever family will need to guard against escapes and door bolting. If you live in the Midwest and can give me a place where I can relax and feel safe, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn about you and your home 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!

Story
My name is Fido and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a pretty 6 year-old girl, weighing 25 lbs. I came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, after the commercial breeding facility where I lived shut down. I came with a group of dogs and we were all terrified! You see, where we came from, humans weren’t so nice. But the humans here are kind, so I’ve been getting braver. I used to cower in the corner when my foster family was nearby. But now I don’t even run away when they approach me. I shine when I’m with other dogs, and there are lots here. Watching them play has helped me relax and feel safer. I’m still pretty skittish, especially around loud noises and sudden movements, but I’m starting to let my silly side show – at least when I think the humans aren’t watching. I’m still fearful of going out in the yard on my own, so my foster parents carry me outside. We’ve practiced leash walking, but I’m just not comfortable and may never be. But I’m a good girl, and healthy too. I’m potty trained, spayed and vaccinated. I don’t make noise or cause trouble. When I’m inside, I’ll hang out in my kennel on my own. I get along well all the other dogs and I don't bother the cats. I’ve never met any human kids, but I’m pretty sure I’d be terrified of them. My perfect forever home will be with a patient family who has experience with shy/fearful dogs. I’ll need a securely fenced yard and another nice dog (or more) to help me feel safe. My forever family should know how to prevent escapes, since when I’m spooked, I might try to bolt. I’d do best in a quiet, adults-only home with no shared walls with other families, since I’m so easily scared. That would be so awesome! If you live in the Midwest and could open your home and heart to a sweet, shy girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn about you and your home so they can tell if we’d be a good match. Once approved, they’ll connect you with my foster mom so we can meet.
