Rescue FAQs

Shiba Inu Rescue Association (SIRA) is a volunteer organization dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused Shiba Inu, Shiba mixes and other primitive breeds. Our rescued dogs come from commercial breeders, shelters and individual owners. We evaluate each dog for temperament and place them in nurturing foster homes where their needs, medical and otherwise, are addressed in order to prepare them to be placed in thoroughly screened, loving, lifelong adoptive homes. SIRA also works to educate the public on the Shiba Inu breed in addition to the importance of responsible pet ownership including spaying/ neutering, dog training and obtaining a dog from a reputable breeder or rescue group.

Shiba Inu Rescue Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in the Midwest. Our service area includes Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

  3. Approve Application
    1. Once an applicant becomes an approved adopter, we can work with them to match them with dogs who will thrive in their home environment.
  4. Meet the Pet
    1. Once a match is identified, the applicant is connected with the foster home to learn about the dog and arrange a meeting.
  5. Sign Adoption Contract
    1. Only if the foster home agrees that the match is good, then it is approved.
  6. Pay Fee
    1. Applicants pay the adoption fee upon signing the contract.
  7. Take the Pet Home
    1. Applicants are required to have the appropriate gear (travel crate, pet ID tags) in order to take the dog home.

Additional adoption info

SIRA's board reviews each applicant for approval and then reviews each potential match for approval. Home visit volunteers are trained. SIRA pledges to support all dogs for life and requires adopters to return dogs to SIRA if they can no longer care for them. SIRA provides a social media forum and one-on-one support to help adopters address any behavioral concerns.
