🍁 Happy Canada Day from the West Coast Shiba Society! 🇨🇦
Today we’re celebrating the True North strong and floofy — with some friendly reminders from our resident firework critic, Maveryk.

Maveryk is one of our rescue siblings and a proud Canadian... but fireworks?
Hard pass. 0/10. Would scream again. 🧨🐕💨

🚫 Maveryk's Firework Don’ts:
❌ Don’t bring us to fireworks shows
❌ Don’t assume we’ll be fine just because your cousin’s golden retriever is
❌ Don’t leave windows open when things start poppin’

✅ Maveryk-Approved Safety Tips:
✅ Early walks – way before the chaos starts
✅ Cozy dens: crate, closet, or covered couch fort with snacks
✅ Calming music (he prefers lo-fi beats and whale songs, thank you)
✅ Thundershirts, calming chews, or just plain silence
✅ Double-check those ID tags + microchip info!

Whether your Shiba is a stoic maple leaf model or a full-on drama fluff like Mav, let’s keep them safe, cool, and judgmental from the comfort of home.

☀️ Shiba Summer PSA: Heat is No Joke. Just Ask Goose

As temperatures climb, our girl Goose, one of our rescued Shibas, has a few things to say — and she's not being dramatic

Here’s what Shibas — and all dogs — need you to know when the heat hits:

❌ No mid-day walks. Early morning or evening only.
❌ No hot pavement. If you can’t hold your hand to it for 5 seconds, it’s too hot for paws.
❌ No “quick errands” with your dog left in the car. Not even with the windows down.
❌ No skipping water breaks.
❌ No pressure to play — heat exhaustion is real, and it can be deadly.

✅ Keep walks short and shaded
✅ Offer cool, fresh water throughout the day
✅ Use cooling mats, fans, or AC indoors
✅ Make sure ID tags and microchips are current in case of emergencies
✅ Know the signs of heatstroke: heavy panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting

Let’s keep our dogs safe, cool, and dramatic for the right reasons.

Subi has spoken. 📣 She says it’s time to follow our new Instagram page — because she’s got way too many iconic poses left to share. 🐾✨

We’re keeping the old page up for all the feels and memories, but from here on out, it’s all happening over at 👉 .coast.shiba.society

Don’t leave Subi (and her fluffy drama) on read. Go hit that follow. 💁‍♀️🐕‍🦺

How to keep your Shiba cool this summer:

☀️ Tip #1: Don’t ask them to listen.
☀️ Tip #2: AC, shade, and a personal fan... because they’re royalty.
☀️ Tip #3: Frozen treats work. Sometimes. Maybe. If they’re in the mood.

Shibas: Heat sensitive, emotionally unavailable, and somehow still in charge. 😎🔥

Happy Birthday to Reba, the sweet momma of an unknown number of pups. We know the three cream babies found abandoned in Oyama are hers, but she probably had many litters. So, although we don't know her actual birthday, we thought Mother's Day would be fitting. We're glad you found your forever home. You deserve all the love ❤️

Osaka was a very special shiba. We are so grareful to him and his family for taking sweet Reba in and surrounding her with love. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know Osaka over the years. He will be missed. 🌈
