Story
Meet Syrah! Syrah is a smart, confident, and active pup looking for a family who can keep up with her sharp mind and independent spirit. She shows classic Shiba Inu–type traits: affectionate on her own terms, loyal as long as you’re in sight, and happily self-assured. She’s very intelligent and highly trainable—already walks well on a leash, knows “sit,” and even rings a bell to ask for water. Syrah enjoys a challenge and loves enrichment, especially her Kong. She does test boundaries and has some alpha tendencies, so she’ll thrive with confident, consistent leadership. Syrah would do best in an active home with structure, enrichment, and time spent outdoors—her favorite place is the backyard soaking up fresh air alongside her people. With the right family, Syrah will be a fun, engaging, and deeply rewarding companion.

Story
🏠 Currently in a Seattle foster home 🧡 Hi, I'm Milo 🧡 Age: 1 year Breed: Jindo-Shiba Mix Sex: Male Weight: 8kg (just under 18 lbs) I may be fully grown, but I’m a little guy with a big heart—and I’m ready to fill your home with love, one pawstep at a time. People say I look like a little teddy bear, with my soft brown fur and round eyes that are always full of curiosity. I’m small, sweet, and full of quiet charm. You might never guess it from my gentle looks, but I’ve already been through a lot in my short life. I was once on a euthanasia list… but I was saved just in time. Since then, I’ve only known shelter life. A real home? I’ve never had one. But I’m hoping that’s about to change—with you. Because I’ve never lived in a house, I haven’t learned all the rules yet—especially when it comes to potty training. I’m not used to going inside or outside properly, so I’ll need your help learning a routine from scratch. If you gently guide me to the same spot after meals, naps, and playtime—and reward me with yummy treats when I get it right—I’ll catch on quickly. If I make mistakes, please don’t scold me. Just quietly clean up and help me try again. I really want to learn! At first, I might be a little unsure around new people. I don’t trust easily, but not because I don’t want to—it’s just that I’ve never really known what it means to feel safe. That said, I’m very curious, and I love food (especially treats from your hand!). Give me a bit of time, and you’ll see me coming over on my own, asking for pets and showing you my soft, cuddly side. Sometimes sudden movements or unfamiliar touches might startle me, so it’s best to approach slowly at first—low posture, calm energy, and of course… snacks! With your patience and kindness, I’ll learn that hands mean love, not fear. When it’s time for walks, I do best with a chest harness and a backup leash for safety—two points of security, just in case. Quiet streets are my favorite for now. With gentle exposure and encouragement, I’ll slowly grow more confident exploring the world by your side. I know I’m not perfect. I still have so much to learn. But now is the perfect time to teach me. I’m young, open-hearted, and so eager to bond. With love, patience, and a calm guiding hand, I’ll grow into a polite, loyal companion who brings joy to your everyday life. I’ve lived my life behind shelter walls—but I’m ready to trade that for warm beds, gentle walks, and a forever family to call my own. Could that family be you? With hope in my eyes and love in my little heart, Milo 🐾

Story
Hi, my name is Haerang 🐾 I’m a 3-year-old male Shiba–Welsh mix, weighing about 7kg. I have a slim body, short little legs, and bright, sparkling eyes that people often fall in love with right away. I was rescued from a shelter where euthanasia was taking place. Before that, I spent a long time in a shelter environment where I didn’t get many chances to experience the world. I was very shy and fearful back then, often hiding quietly on my own. But I’ve changed a lot since then. As I learned what human warmth feels like, I slowly opened my heart. Now, I truly love people. When you call my name, I’ll happily roll over and show you my belly, wiggling my way toward you for affection. I have a very gentle, calm, and stable personality, and being with me tends to make people feel relaxed and at ease without even realizing it. My favorite thing in the world is my person. I can coexist peacefully with other dogs and even cats, but I’m more of a “one-on-one” kind of guy. I’m happiest in a quiet, calm home where I can enjoy peaceful time with my family rather than a busy, crowded environment. I already know the command “house,” I walk nicely on leash, and I do well riding in the car too. With potty training, I might have a few small accidents in a brand-new environment, but I’m very steady and gentle by nature—if you guide me patiently and kindly, I’ll learn just fine. In unfamiliar places, I may seem a little timid at first. But give me some time, and I’ll be the one coming to you, asking for love. Before you know it, I’ll be following you everywhere like your little shadow—your loyal, affectionate “velcro dog.” I’m not a dog who adjusts instantly. I’m a dog who blossoms when someone waits for me and believes in me. I’ve been learning to trust human arms again, and now I’m ready to give my whole heart to one forever family. If you’re looking for a quiet, gentle companion who will stay close by your side for life, I’m right here—waiting just for you. 💛

Story
Hi… my name is Gaon 🐕 I’m a 4-year-old male Shiba × Jindo mix, and I weigh about 18kg. I was once placed on a shelter’s euthanasia list. Even after I was rescued, no one came for me for a very long time. The shelter became the only home I knew—far longer than any dog should have to endure. When people approach me, I don’t rush forward with excitement. Instead, I watch carefully. I’m afraid you might leave. Afraid I might be alone again. So I open my heart slowly, cautiously. But behind that hesitation is a heart that longs deeply to love a person. I simply never learned how to show it. I went so long without being chosen, without being loved, that I don’t always know how to ask for affection. That’s why I struggle when attention is shared with other dogs. It’s not jealousy—it’s more like a quiet plea: “Please don’t leave me this time.” That’s why I’m hoping for an only-dog home, where I can finally feel secure. When it’s just you and me, I’m a completely different dog. I’ll meet your eyes, lean gently against you, and offer shy little gestures of affection. Once I give my heart, I give it fully— with the deep, unwavering loyalty that Jindo dogs are known for. Home life may feel unfamiliar to me at first. I’ll need time, patience, and understanding. But if you’re willing to walk that slow beginning with me, I promise you this: I will become a dog who makes one person my whole world. A once-in-a-lifetime companion who loves quietly, deeply, and forever. Somewhere in a shelter, I’m still waiting— waiting for the one person who will call my name and mean it for life.

Story
Hi… my name is Holly. Before I even had the chance to understand what the world was, I was standing at the edge of losing it. I was on a euthanasia list. I didn’t know what that meant — only that everything felt uncertain and scary. But someone gave me another chance. Now I’m here, waiting for you. I’m a little shy at first. When I meet new people or step into new places, I like to pause and watch from a small distance. I just need a moment to understand that I’m safe. If you give me that time, I promise you’ll see something special — I’ll slowly walk closer, maybe sit near you, maybe rest quietly by your side. I’m not the kind of girl who rushes in with big, dramatic affection. I’m the kind who loves deeply once I trust you. Because I’m a Shiba mix, I’m observant and thoughtful. I notice your tone, your mood, the way you move. The less you rush me, the faster I open my heart. I get along well with other dogs too. I don’t push to be the center of attention — I prefer to read the room and join gently. I’m only 10 months old. I’m still learning what it means to live in a home. House rules, walks, playtime, rest — these are all things I’m ready to learn with you. What I need most isn’t pressure to be perfect. I need patience. Consistency. A calm voice that says, “It’s okay, Holly. Take your time.” If I can grow up in a stable home… If someone calls my name softly each day… If I can build trust little by little… I will become a steady, loyal, deeply devoted companion. I’m looking for a family who appreciates quiet connection. A family who understands that love doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. A family who will cherish the moment when a shy dog finally chooses to lean into them. I was once almost out of time. Now I’m waiting for my forever. Will you hold my paw and show me that my world can be filled with safety instead of fear — with love instead of uncertainty? I’ll be waiting for you. 🐾

Story
Meet Ttre Age: 5 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Shiba Jindo Mix Color: White Weight: 19 kg Height: 54 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story In September 2021, a report was made that young puppies were being physically abused by their owner. The puppies were rescued and transferred to a local shelter, but they later faced imminent euthanasia. A private rescuer stepped in and saved them.   Since then, the rescuer shared Ttre’s adoption profile with multiple organizations, yet not a single adoption inquiry came through. Ttre is currently being fostered by a local professional trainer, where she has been living in a stable and structured environment.   Human Social Skills   Ttre is an exceptionally affectionate dog who loves people. She happily approaches both familiar faces and strangers, rubbing against them and allowing easy handling. With treats, she often showers people with kisses.   She has no preference between men or women and is gentle and affectionate even with children under 13. She can be comfortably lifted by placing an arm under her belly, and when she’s feeling relaxed and happy, she will even show her belly to people she’s just met.   Dog Social Skills When meeting unfamiliar dogs, Ttre will approach to sniff but does not immediately initiate play. She enjoys playing and goofing around with dogs she feels comfortable with, but in general, she is far more people-oriented than dog-oriented.   She does not like overly high-energy or provocative dogs well. While she isn’t aggressive (mostly just vocal), she also doesn’t quietly endure uncomfortable situations. She carries some classic Shiba-like personality traits.   Cats During walks, she may look at cats with curiosity, but she follows human guidance well and redirects easily. Cat testing is available upon request.   Energy Level Moderate energy. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but once her exercise needs are met, she settles down calmly and rests well indoors.   Walks Ttre has plenty of leash experience and generally walks nicely without pulling, staying attentive to her handler. She can be a bit distractible at times and may show mild stubbornness if she has a preferred direction—true to her breed mix.   Other Behaviors • No food guarding (with people or dogs) • Rarely barks • Calm and cooperative in a kennel • Gets in and out of the car on her own • Primarily does her business outdoors   Ttre is a dog who has waited quietly for far too long—not because she isn’t wonderful, but because she was overlooked. She would thrive in a home that appreciates her people-focused nature, respects her boundaries with other dogs, and offers her the companionship she has always been ready to give.   If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and emotionally mature companion, Ttre may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
