AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: 4 year old Jazzy, 21 lbs., is an all-around good girl. She lives in a home with 3 other Shiba-type mixes ( 2 Pomskis and Shiba mix). She loves people, kids, and most all other dogs except one Pomski girl in the house. The couple keeps them separate, and they feel it's just not fair to Jazzy. Jazzy loves David, has a special bond with him, but he travels a great deal. She is an attention-hog when he is home! It breaks his heart but he knows that keeping her isolated when he travels is not the ideal life when she has so much to give. She even went to a 6 week training program and the trainer said she was the very best dog with all the other dogs! She can be particular about female dogs so we will seek a home as an only pet or, with a male dog, not breed specific. She has not been cat-tested so we will seek a home without cats. Kids ok! She is on seizure meds daily and the episodes have been under control for close to a year. Located in New Hampshire, and with the help of PilotsNPaws, we can fly her to her new home throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Please complete an application found on the website under "forms" for prompt consideration.

More on the Lux and Sookie courtship.
We need Hollywood to produce a movie!
06/21/2024
Remember Lux that got flown up from Tennessee on two planes to Connecticut about two weeks ago?
Well, there is love in the air !
He and Sookie are besties!
Natalie and Seth are thrilled that Sookie has a buddy; and Lux couldn’t be happier! First photo is his face when they sent back the signed Adoption Agreement. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you to all who donated! We reached our need of $1000 to help with Hachi's surgery costs! Here he is this morning with Foster Mimi. He's doing very well, very calm and sweet boy. He's able to get around well on 3 legs already.
06/19/2024
We received an urgent call this past Saturday from the Connecticut Humane Society, about this little peanut that hit by a car and has a compound fractured leg. The owner immediately took him to the ER and the choice was either surgery or amputation. The owner is a lovely caring person who really knows that she isn’t providing the right environment for this pup because he’s gotten out a couple of other times so she has surrendered him to us. Today he is getting surgery to have his leg removed, and we will help support with part of the cost of that. He’ll be picked up this afternoon by our esteemed Transporter Cyric, who will take him to our Foster Mimi, who will take great care of him and possibly consider him for a pal for her own Shiba. As you know, we never ask for donations. We are always grateful to receive them. In this case, though, because we agreed to pay for a part of the cost of the surgery on a moments notice and didn’t plan it our bank is a little bit lean. If you feel like sending a donation to help this cost, we would be most grateful. You can find the donation button on the website, thank you very much in advance

JAZZY!!!
She is this type of Shiba Everybody seems to want! She gets along with everybody except for just one small particular dog.

PENDING- going on trial tomorrow. AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: MARSHMALLOW: 11 month old Shiba, 25 lbs. He is at a shelter in Western MA as he was found as a stray. He is very playful and doesn't quite know boundaries as he wants to try to play with every dog at the shelter ( and not every dog wants to paly with him). Needs to get neutered, we will take care of that. No cats please, the boundary thing would be an issue for them. Older kids should be ok, not toddlers as the boundary thing.
Please complete an application for prompt consideration, located on the website.

Alumni update; Sky and Storm are living the life!
Sky here in her pink bathing suit, sunvisor, and matching towel as she suns herself by the pool. She also loves to swim in the pool! Storm on the other hand will barely tolerate a hat and would much prefer to sit in his tent and watch the pool from afar.
Rachel always provides tons of entertainment and enrichment for these two!

CROISSANT is ADOPTED!
Can you see why this happened?
This is insane that two Shibas bonded so fast in two weeks. SHIBAS!!!
We love it when two worlds collide! His fur sister is Suki! Croissant was in the NYC Shelter.
Thank you to Charisma and Alan (and Suki) in MA!
06/09/2024
ADOPTED! TORO! He really lucked out! Chris from the Southeast coast of MA, new right away that Toro was his Shiba! Chris has always had a dog in his 25 yrs, until the last one aged-out. Chris's calm nature and keen sensitivity to people and and animals struck me. A tech teacher in middle school has it's challenges daily! He needed a dog right now for good reasons I won't share, and he had his heart set on a Shiba. Toro is a perfect "beginner Shiba" so it that's the story. Chris has said his is " an amazing Shiba". Mission accomplished!
Toro fit the bill as he would get heaps of walks and his quiet time as he enjoys too.

PENDING ADOPTION! Lux, 2 1/2 years old, 32lbs, an excellent companion. Would rather stand next to you in a fenced yard, then to run around and explore or try to get out. Very loyal type. Great walker/hiker. Can be on trial with cats as he lived with them before. Can be considered as a beginner Shiba for you. Adoption applications are found on the website under forms.
06/05/2024
PSA: We (me) are getting a TON of counseling calls lately and it's the same theme: It's not only the Shiba that could use training, more importantly, It's the human that needs the training. The Shiba is a "thinking animal" not a "reactive animal", though can become that in the wrong hands. The BEST thing you can do for your Shiba is to be clear, confident, concise, decisive, confident, competent, deliberate, and pure in your intentions. In other words, be the leader they are seeking. Or they will appoint themselves leader and you'll have a whole set of other problems. (And then you'll be calling me to fix).
06/04/2024
Lux went to the vet today and he was very easy to exam- no attitude or Shiba scream---When does that happen?
He’s a nice Shiba, appears to be less judgmental than most. Would be a wonderful companion for some who wants a resident comedian.
We are accepting applications for adoption of this wonderful Shiba!

LUX!! PENDING ADOPTION! 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, 32 LBS. VERY LOYAL TYPE, SOMETHING QUITE RARE AS HE SHOWED THE FOSTERS THIS THE FIRST DAY.
06/04/2024
Lux is such a silly goofball! He is looking for a new home. He lived most of the time outside in a home with five other dogs and little children. He has shown our fosters that he is calm, friendly, playful, walks well on a leash and is crate trained. He has a nice temperament. CORRECTION: He is 2 1/2 years old and 32 pounds, we haven’t tested him with their resident Shiba yet, but we don’t think that will be an issue.
To be considered, please complete an application found on the website

SOLVED!!! THAT WAS FAST! THANKS TO EVERYONE IN THE SHIBA GRAPEVINE TO GET ME TO THE OWNER!: This Shiba is named Prince and we rehomed him in MA in FALL 2017. They may be living in CALIFORNIA NOW, AS THIS SHIBA WAS FOUND LOOSE IN CA. If anyone recognizes this Shiba and knows the owner please pm me ASAP.
06/02/2024
A busy day flying Lux, 3 year old goofball, from TN to VA to MA on 2 planes. He is going to decompress for a week or so and get an assessment with Shinobu and Justin, and we will be looking for an adopter. Was living with 5 dogs and small kids and chaos. He was very loved though. A huge thanks Snyder Sanctuary who asked us to help Lux, and Kimmie who assisted the owner in the surrender, overnight care, transport to the airport. Thank you to our Top Gun pilot Jeff (1st plane) and Joe (2nd plane) to complete this mission. And of course Shinobu and Justin to foster and assess!
05/20/2024
A big thank you to PilotsNPaws pilot Matt who flew to Philly area to pick up Toro, then fly him to Smithfield RI to deliver him to adopter Chris!

Aki’s Freedom Ride with Matt and Amanda on the 5 hour journey back to home. Thank you for making this long trip so he wouldn’t have another stressful day in the shelter. And thank you to NYC ACC, for asking us to step in, and making the process easy for all!
05/17/2024
SHORSEY IS ADOPTED! Remember Shorsey whose owner died, and the daughter who adored him couldn't keep him due to unfortunate changes in their planned home? And Shorsey, 5 years old, has a heart murmur that prevents any type of surgery for neuter, teeth cleaning, etc. David and Amy are an active retired couple in a beautiful rural community in MA. David has been owned by a Shiba before for 15 years, and he was looking to find a "purposeful passion" and felt that giving a Shiba a good home would fill that passion. Amy, who has never had a dog but has had cats, was won-over by Shorsey immediately. They both say how sweet and easy he is to have around. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
05/14/2024
ADOPTION PENDING WITH ONE OF OUR RECENT ADOPTERS, SO AKI WILL HAVE A SHIBA PAL! We have been asked by the NY shelter to pull this 17 lb Shiba boy- neutered, UTD on all vaccines, chipped. The family who surrender him says he has an allergy and they don't have the means to treat. He's been eating Vienna sausages and other crap so likely a clean diet and some medicated baths would clear this right up. Owner says he's 5 but the vet says more like 11 years. He's good with people and other dogs. I have the full vet report. If you want to step up, there is no adoption fee due to his age ( we waive fees after age 10). We will arrange for transport and get him to you!

From my family to yours, Happy Mother’s Day. I only know what this sacred day means in Fur language. This is Peaches on the left, a puppy mill rescue having five litters by 4 1/2 yrs . I rescued her about a year ago to be Yukon best friend. I think it worked.
05/12/2024
Mother’s Day is a perfect day to honor Rachel, who‘s heart is so big, she needed two Shibas to try to fill it. Rocky and Arika, now Storm and Sky!
Rachel had recently lost her aged husky and knowing huskies are similar to Shibas, when she saw the post for two bonded Shibas that needed to go together, she leaped up and filled out an application. Reading her application I could feel her pain of the loss. Fast -forward; they are a young retired couple on Long Island, their yard is so secure that even a husky can’t get out of it. She really wanted these two bonded Shibas, (which needed all the veterinary work from vaccinations to spay and neuter and micro chipped).
Every week it’s something new between Easter baskets, eclipse, sunglasses, Shiba balloons, you name it ; the enrichment is endless!
Both Shibas are great with her grand children too.
Congratulations to the whole family !

Chiba! Now named Suki
ADOPTED! Chiba is chillin with her bestie Snowball and is the sweetest girl that has so blossomed! Kelly and her husband have a home on a lake with a DOUBLE fenced yard, 6 dog beds, and their older Shiba girl Snowball. They are the perfect home for Chiba to flourish in!
Rescued Shiba one year later
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found the sound of animals eating, to be a peaceful and comforting sound. It doesn’t matter if it’s horses, eating hay, the guest opossum, rabbit, my ornery ram, or multiple rescue/foster dogs. Here is Peaches, rescued exactly one year ago from being a mill- mama at 4 1/2 years old, and she had five litters by then. Each night she eats her dinner on the couch because she feels comfortable sitting next to me to eat. This never gets old to see such contentment.
Progress with Chiba
Ben is making good progress with Chiba.
Please check out this well-crafted video of our recent alumni "Cypress" (formerly Meiko), one of the mill-mommas from upstate NY, now living in New York city with Harper and Dane! A positively incredible transformation! Thank you Harper and Dane!!!!
This is Amaya after surgery today (Spay) in her private suite listening to classical music, wearing a onesie. The vet is truly phenomenal, and does a lot of prep the day before surgery as well as after, to make the experience stress-free. Larklain Veterinary, in Berwyn PA
From our furry family to yours, Happy National Inu (Dog) Day!
Poppy, approx. 2 years old, was found dumped in Chester MA a few weeks ago, and how stoic she has been with so many conditions we just got diagnosed yesterday. She has dermatitis, an ear infection ( likely yeast), blood in her urine, very painful, likely a UTI and hopefully not kidney stones, positive for Lymes disease, and heart arythmia. We got her spayed, all vaccinated, and being treated for all conditions now. She is THE kindest little Shiba. She has an adopter waiting for her in Wellfleet MA and will be going there in a couple of weeks. That you to all the fosters and transporters so far ( Shinobu, Cara, Jake, Gwen).
In just over 3 days, mill momma Kirsi, now with Brittany and her Sheeb Juju in NC, has massively come out of her shell! Just watch her spin ( in the purple harness)! This is one happy girl in her forever home! And, Kirsi enjoyed her very first Starbucks Pup-cup today :)
And second flight for today, (again thanks to pilot Carl who flew up Minkah this morning and who took Kirsi back to her new fabulous adopter Brittany ( who had Minkah). Kirsi is another mill Momma, now 5 years old, released a few months ago and been carefully managed by two fine fosters; Holly and also Shannon. If anyone can turn challenging Shibas into manageable Shibas, Brittany can. Already Kirsi is showing playfulness and it’s only been hours. She actually was chasing a ball with her new Shiba companion Juju, just because Juju showed her how.
Thank you to PilotsNPaws, Pilot, Marshall, and his two copilot for transferring Hiro
Stories like this are worthy of a mention: SSARG (thank you)asked us to take a Shiba named Hiro in urgent need from California and arranged transport in a nanosecond with transporter Denny ( thank you). This pupper has severe seizures almost daily, not medicated. Emphasize severe. While in transit to VA from CA where I live, former adopters from Boston living in Orlando FL, ( Greg and JM) contacted me out of the blue, that they’d like to foster. It was random, they didn’t know about Hiro! ( there are no coincidences). Redirect Transport Denny (again thanks). Greg and John Michael took care of all Hiro’s medical needs and beyond ! ( The biggest thank you). Seizures under control. Now this week, JM drove Hiro from Orlando to me, and this is how Hiro is within an hour on the farm. He flies out Sunday on a private plane ( thank you Pilots and Paws Pilot Matthew), to Kristen and her family in Connecticut! ( Kristen, thank you). It’s been a long haul for this pupper, and he’s worth it!
Pending Adoption! Here’s Koji again…..he’s only 2 1/2, neutered and UTD on vax, lots of training, athletic, looking for a new active home. Please spread the word as we have had no applicants and that’s highly unusual.
Pending !Here’s Koji, who is awaiting for a perfect home, managing a bunch of different breed dogs at the trainers home! Please complete an application on the website for our prompt consideration!😃
Amber, adopted by Alejandra this weekend in Ottowa, is walking her new pal Ruby, who is a Potcake from Mexico. Alejandra saved her as she was a street dog, and drove back to Canada and rehabbed her. They are settling in nicely.
Got fleas? For your yard, here are some affordable choices: FOOD-GRADE diatomaceous earth. Or Garden lime (made from limestone, NOT hydrated lime). Let these work into the soil for a couple of days before your pets are in contact. Borax can be used on the yard ( yes, the laundry detergent booster). Can also be used on carpets and vacuumed. Or salt mixed with baking soda on the carpet ( it dehydrates the fleas and larvae). Ticks hate cedar so use cedar chips around the perimeter of the yard. Wash bedding and shampoo your pup. Be sure to research the ideas above so you can decide which is best for your environment and your pet.
ADOPTED!: Tyson! 6 years old, very affectionate boy. He seems particular about other dogs, while good at the vets waiting room with dogs, he runs the fence line at home when the neighbors dog is out and doesn’t like that dog. The reason for rehoming is the owner is completely afraid of all dogs. She is a very anxious owner and the environment is not ideal for Tyson. An adult only home, no pets will be best for this boy. Please complete and application on the website for prompt review.
Rex and Queen Nefertiti just love Yukon; he entertains them by bringing his toys over trying to engage them, even though they are in their secure palace grounds.
