Story

Hi everyone, my name is now Libby, which is short for “Liberty,” which my mom picked for the 4th of July theme! I am the only puppy from the AR breeding facility pull. DC SIR was told last minute that I was being surrendered to rescue because I could not be sold online because of a Grade 3 luxating patella. DCSIR was told that I was put in a concrete pen by myself to help fix my leg. I am a 16-week-old female sesame Shiba Inu. I was so happy to arrive at Shiba HQ and receive the attention that I so desperately craved! I am a tall, goofy girl! I was also so skinny that you could feel every bone of my body jutting from under my skin. DC SIR is feeding me nutrient-dense food every couple of hours to prevent any long-term damage from not receiving enough sustenance. I was so happy to be out and around other dogs that I couldn’t control myself, so I kissed and pranced all over everyone. I have calmed down, and the adult dogs are teaching me manners around other dogs. I am a high-energy goofball, and my favorite toy is the flirt pole! But my foster says I have to be careful playing with that until I am cleared by a vet. I am getting Red Light Therapy sessions a couple of times daily to help my leg. I’ll have a couple of vet visits to see how to proceed with my leg. DC SIR is hoping that I don’t need surgery, but they won’t know for sure until their vet clears me. In the meantime, I am getting the best supportive care to help me be a healthy pup! Follow my story and apply to adopt me if you think I am a good fit for your family!

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!

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 Summer. My foster parents picked my name for the Fourth of July/ Freedom theme because my personality is inspired by the warmth you feel in the late evening of Independence Day when you smell food grilling and Shibas barking! I am a 4-year-old red female Shiba Inu! I was rescued with 8 other Shiba Inus from an AR breeding facility. I lived my entire life in a 4’ x 6’ pen without toys, a soft bed or grass under my feet. When I arrived at Shiba HQ, I was very scared and confused and huddled in a corner with the other Shibas who traveled with me. The volunteers noticed that a very scared black and tan Shiba kept cuddling behind me in the corner of the yard, so DC SIR decided to keep us together in a foster home. We are the only dogs in the home, but I am learning to trust people and enjoy my new freedom! You’ll see videos of me dancing around in the grass! I am so happy to have a lot of space to run and play in! In just 4 days, I have learned to go downstairs (not up yet), watch for wildlife through the windows, and discovered the joy of play. Each day, my confidence grows when go on walks, take in the warm sun on my face, and smell the trails that other dogs have been on. Lastly, my appetite is finally growing, and I have mastered going to the bathroom outside! I will need to have full medical before I am available for adoption. If you think I am a good fit for your family, go ahead and apply to adopt me! I look forward to enjoying a life of freedom!

Apply to adopt Rebel: http://dcsir.org/service/adopt/ Step by step process on how to apply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgW-CQMpYFY About Rebel: Hi everyone, my name is now Rebel. I am a tiny cream Shiba Inu rescued from an Arkansas breeding facility with 8 other Shiba Inus. My name is a Fourth of July theme – without the rebellion of a few, we would not have freedom for the many. I am a small and dainty female Shiba who is estimated to be 6 years old. My foster mom noticed I had an odd gait, so DC SIR will have this checked out. I am in need ofdental care, as is nearly every AR pup. When I arrived at Shiba HQ after a long drive from AR, I got in a scuffle with a couple of the other dogs who were let out of the crate too. DC SIR volunteers didn’t punish me, they just separated us while we slowly adjusted to our new environment. I realized I wasn’t going to get hurt by anyone, and I started to explore the grass. I got to feel it under my feet for the first time in my life. Soon, I was taken to a shower for a bath and trimmed my very long nails, which splayed my paws open. It felt weird to walk on my paws without the pressure of my nails in the way. Maybe that is why I walked weirdly! We’ll see. Since being in foster, I love to sit on my foster mom’s lap! I will even come to the couch and reach up for her to pick me up and hold me. I get along with all the dogs and the resident cat too! I am still very nervous, and I pace the house. I don’t like being in a crate at all so my foster mom will be setting me up in an xpen when we can get one of Amazon wish list. DC SIR thinks I will be a very popular pup, so if you think I’m a good fit, apply for me today!

Story

Hi everyone, my name is now Maverick. My name is a Fourth of July/ Freedom theme, which my foster parents picked because it means adventurous, bold, and free; a term associated with the independent spirit of the US! I’m not yet living up to my name because I am still shy, fearful, and mentally trapped in the 4’ x 6’ pen I spent my entire life in. I am a 6-year-old black and tan male Shiba Inu. I’m on the larger side, and we will have my weight after my neuter and dental. I was very quiet when we arrived at Shiba HQ from the AR commercial breeding facility. I had to be separated by an xpen from the girls when we first arrived at Shiba HQ. All the girls gravitated to me and would curl up next to my pen. I love being around friendly females. I did bark at the other male who came with us from the breeding facility. My foster family noticed I am very fearful, and I wouldn’t eat for the first few days in rescue. Everything is so new and scary; I don’t know what will happen. My foster parents are taking their time to build my trust. I am living with another female, Shiba Inu, a DC SIR alum! I don’t know how to walk on a leash yet, but I am very easy to handle, pick up, and groom! I will need a loving and patient home to help me build confidence as I learn about the world outside my pen. I am very handsome, so you may want to get your application in to adopt me fast! I will be available for adoption after DC SIR covers all my medical needs. My foster parents reported this after my neuter: "He did extremely well in the car ride home and has been a brave boy. He is resting on a dog bed now (for the first time)! He usually prefers the floor but maybe this experience will introduce him to the soft bed life He got some plaque removal on his teeth but does not appear to have any teeth pulled." I also have an Amazon Wish List if you want to support me with some goodies!
