Story
Meet Gohan, a handsome Shiba mix with a name that suits him perfectly. Just like Gohan from the beloved Japanese anime Dragon Ball, this sweet boy is gentle, smart, calm, polite, and kind-hearted. At heart, Gohan’s biggest dream is simple: to live a peaceful life as a beloved family dog. Gohan’s story has not been an easy one. He was found as a stray and eventually brought to the St. Louis County Pet Adoption Center. When he arrived, he was covered in fleas, filthy, and looked as though he had not been brushed or properly cared for in a very long time. Yet despite the neglect he experienced, Gohan has remained incredibly loving and trusting. He greets people with a wagging tail, happy kisses, and a desire to stay close by your side. He loves being petted and thrives on human interaction. Gohan has many classic Shiba traits. He forms strong bonds with his family, carries himself with a proud and confident air, and can be a little independent and cat-like at times. He is neat, somewhat aloof in that signature Shiba way, and has a stubborn streak, but he also enjoys being part of the group and likes being at the center of family life. He is dog-friendly, walks beautifully on leash, and enjoys spending time outdoors. In the home, Gohan is low to medium energy and is not destructive. Most of the time, he is perfectly content relaxing in his bed and enjoying a calm environment. He prefers being left free in the house rather than confined to a crate, making him an easy companion for the right home. Gohan is a sweet, steady, and loyal dog who is ready to leave his difficult past behind and settle into the peaceful family life he deserves. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Gohan’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
