STILL NEED A FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED ASAP. LEO, 4 YRS OLD, had a adopter lined up for the last month, and at the last minute, he changed his mind. The owners of LEO, are scheduled to give birth on AUGUST 7 AND SHE HAS ARRIVED! So they are consumed with their first child and they know that LEO would do better in a home with someone who can give him more time. Leo is has been in a weekly training program at a day care and he does very well with consistency and structure! He would do best as an only pet, and 1 or 2 people to call his own. He is located in Attleboro MA and attends JM Pet Resort for training each week and loves it. He needs a Shiba savvy human to help him thrive! Please pm and/or complete an adoption of foster application for our prompt consideration, as I don't often see the comments.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION; TAI! 5 YR OLD SHIBA BOY. Tai is being rehomed because owner moved from Boston with Tai to more affordable housing near Rochester, NY, and the small shared house has other pets which Tai is not acclimating to. Tai has some noise sensitivity so we are seeking a quiet home with no other pets or children. Tai is very trainable, good at the vets (yay!) and he knows American Sign Language! He can be reactive with another dog nearby, but has responded well to professional training. We have seen many times, to remove the Shiba from one envirnment, and place him in another, the prior issues often resolve themselves! Owner stated that he was inexperienced with owing a dog, and this contributed to some of the mis-steps in handling a Shiba properly in raising from a pup. Please complete an application found on the website for consideration.

We know that many Shiba owners have heart- filled -good intentions of preparing their own food. Please stay informed and educated with important nutritional requirements so that you don’t inadvertently damage your Shiba irreversibly . I’ve copied a post tonight, but you can research any other certified nutritionist if you wish. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16kVssxRhf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

PENDING ! Ready for Adoption: DAISY !
Isn’t she pretty?
A regal tri-color, 8 yr. old female knows what she likes and what she doesn’t like. She loves a quiet household with no chaos from children. She can be considered with other dogs - she could be a little bit particular, but she’s willing to consider other dogs. We usually find this type to be Best with another Shiba. She's a perfect "beginner" Shiba.
No separation anxiety,. She’s great with adults and is low maintenance. She is located in near Cape Cod being fostered and being a great companion. Her owner had made the painful decision to rehome her because she is taking care of an infant and a toddler which are her grandchildren, which is causing Daisy stress. So before anything happens, she knows it would be best for Daisy to rehome her. Please submit an application which can be found on the website under forms for prompt consideration for this beauty .

KOVU IS ADOPTED! You never saw a post about Kovu? That's right, as many of our adopted Shibas are placed with approved applications waiting in queue. KOVU'S story is a sketchy one, and of no fault on Kovu! Our esteem foster, Aaron in New Hampshire, saw a post offering to rehome "Zuko" (I'll explain this in a sec) on a site we don't follow. Aaron sent me the link and I immediately reached out via messenger to the owner. Reason for rehoming is that they had to find a new place to live that very weekend (it was already Saturday) and they couldn't take Zuko. I asked if we could take a few minutes to chat on the phone about him, the answer was no. I asked if she would complete a surrender form so I would have pertinent information on Zuko, "no". She wouldn't tell me what town they were in so I could't even try to arrange a pick up. Her profile on Facebook had Zero information and it turns out the last name wasn't her last name. I sent her information and links on our organization and she got nasty. Next day I got a call from a fellow who got Zuko on Saturday via the post, only to discover that his family is allergic to dogs! When he called the owner, she said she couldn't take him back, but gave him my contact number! Aaron quickly agreed to foster him so we got him in our care that same day. On Monday I did some research on said owner and figured out a region around 3 towns north of Boston that she might be from. I called 12 veterinarians in the area that Monday, but no one had a Shiba name Zuko with the owner's name that was provided. Next day the owner texted me to ask if this fellow contacted me about Zuko- I said yes and provided pictures, and said how important it is for us to have his medical records because of the Grade 4 heart murmur. She agreed, provided that the vet redacted her name and address. I called the vet, who said her name is dif. from the one I had seen on the Facebook profile, and that the Shiba's name was Kovu, not Zuko! Nonetheless, we had the Shiba in our possion and in great hands with Aaron, and I had the vet records! BEST NEWS: KOVU is Now fully adopted with Christine and her husband, 2 young children ages 3 and 5, 2 cats and another Shiba, Jax! they have a camp in New Hampshire that the visit often and Kovu loves camping (see him resting on his first camping trip)! They opened their hearts and home without hesitation with so little info on Kovu, a sketchy story, and a Grade 4 heart murmur. He fit right in with no adjustment time! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

ADOPTED! Kashi, 2yr old neutered boy. Kashi came to us via another rescue group, and he was described perfectly by them as a well socialized, happy -go-lucky boy that was loved by all at the rescue/day care facility. Gary and Emily, along with their 3 teenagers, lost their senior Shiba last December. Kashi immediately fell in love with all the attention and fill their hearts. They’ve changed his name now to Teddy Graham, as a testimony to him being so sweet and cuddly!
Congratulations !

ADOPTED! Boone, five years old girl from Ohio, was quickly adopted by Tom, Kate and their black and tan Shiba, Captain! The owners of Boone in Ohio couldn’t find a rescue in their region because every place was full, so they reached out to us. The first call I made was to Tom and Kate, and they immediately sensed Boone be a perfect fit for their family.
The owners needed to rehome her because they’re about to have a new infant in August and they knew this wasn’t going be a good fit for Boone . They were willing to drive halfway to New England but Tom and Kate have a mobile camper and decided to drive all the way to Ohio with Captain to meet Boone! These two immediately fell in love with each other! Just look at the happiness of the first three days, mostly traveling through different states.
Captain and Boone are enjoying daily walks through beautiful parks in Stoneham MA daily. Congratulations!
