Story
&#239&#187&#191 Please read up on his breed before considering adopting.  This cutie is a four-year-old Shiba Inu.  He was a breeder release when Needy Paws received him last year.   He is tiny even for a shiba at 19 lbs.   He is leashed trained and housebroke but used to a doggie door.    He might be best as an only dog or with a non-dominant playful dog.  He can be a little dominant with other dogs so best with easy-going non-confrontational dogs his size.  He has been back in his foster home for a short period and so far, good with the large dogs and small older dog in the home.  He loves to play fetch with his toys and loves squeaky toys, although he might tear them up. He does love attention and likes to lay next to you or in your lap.  ted, 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. Kudsu’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Story
My name is Ranger and I’m looking for my forever home! I am 2 years old and I weigh 20 lbs. My “must haves” are a securely fenced yard, a forever home with no small kids, and a forever family who is familiar with shy/fearful dogs. You see, I had a rough life. I came into SIRA’s care after I was abandoned by a commercial breeder at a vet’s office. The vet could tell right away that I had not been treated kindly. I was so terrified to be in such a strange and unfamiliar place that I paced frantically and snapped at the air. The vet staff saw that a few of my teeth had been knocked out and others broken. They fixed up my mouth so that I wouldn’t be in any more pain and SIRA placed me in a very special foster home to help me feel safe while I recovered. Since I’ve been at my foster home, things have been SO much better. Nobody hurts me here and there are other dogs to play with and the humans here are so kind! They’ve given me the time I needed to adjust. I was very cautious at first, but gradually I started to show my silly, playful side. My favorite things to do are to throw toys around and wrestle with the other dogs. Oh, and eat treats! Foster mom and dad give me these AMAZING beef liver treats that are so awesome. I’m smart and a very good boy in my foster home. One thing that has been tough for me is leash training. I’m really sensitive to things going over my head and around my neck – you would be too if you had been through what I have. So foster mom and dad are getting me used to a step-in harness, which feels more comfortable for me. Because of this, I will need a securely fenced yard for potty breaks and play time and a forever family who is patient and familiar with shy/fearful dogs so I can continue to blossom. I would love to have another dog or two in my forever home to play with, but no small human kids, please. They’re just too scary! I’m a healthy boy with so much potential. I’m being fostered in Jonesboro, MO. If you live in the Midwest and want a handsome boy like me to be your best bud, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can tell if we’d be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. I’d love that!

Story
My name is Foxie Girl and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 7 y.o. and weigh 32 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I worked hard making puppies. I’m a shy girl, especially around humans I don’t know well. You see, where I came from, humans were scary and not very kind and gentle. But here in my foster home, things are different! My foster mom and dad are so nice to me and patient. They tell me how pretty I am and what a good girl I am! They are helping me to adjust to this new way of life and I’m starting to relax and let my personality come out. I love to explore the fenced yard here in my foster home. There are other dogs here and that helps me feel safe. I’m learning how to play with them. I’m good with the other dogs here and even with the resident cats. I haven’t been tempted to chase them at all. I’m even starting to learn how to walk on a leash! Foster mom says I’m doing really well, but I am not quite ready for adventures in the neighborhood. Sudden movements and loud noises will spook me. My perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard where I can explore and play. I’ll need a resident dog to help show me the ropes and help me to adjust. Cats are fine too, but no small kids please (they would scare me too much). I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. The vet who listened to my heart said that I have a grade 2 heart murmur. He said that I don’t need any treatment since it isn’t causing any problems. If you live in the Midwest and want a pretty, sweet, shy girl like me to share your home, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA get to know you and your home environment so they can tell if we’ll 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 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.
