BONDED SENIORS SEEKING A HOME : (Bear with me as I’m not sure I have the spelling correctly and I’m waiting for the owner‘s Sister to confirm).
Tetsu, 12 year old handsome male in the red sesame suit on the left, and Sukie, 11 year old female modeling the toasted marshmallow Spring outfit on the right.
These two are the easiest going, Shiba‘s, no-fuss-no-muss lifestyle. They are sweet and affectionate, and the Sister says they are good with other dogs and cats. Their original owner has been transferred to a senior care facility due to his dementia advancing. Hence the reason why his sister is taking care of these two. Could somebody please open their hearts and home to these beautiful soulful beings?
No adoption fee, of course.
We are getting their records and I understand they are up-to-date on everything.

HARBOR IS ADOPTED! Who is Harbor, you ask? She didn't get posted for potential suitors as I had the perfect adopter waiting. Susanne sent an application in December, and had a touching note in the form, and I realized how important it was to connect her with a perfect Shiba. Within a few weeks, Harbor was surrendered as her Navy warrior owner would be leaving the country. Harbor came to the US from Taiwan with his former owner. Here is a clip of Susanne's note to us: “My heart is broken because I lost my daughter, Elise, to cancer. She loved animals, especially dogs, more than anything in the world. As a little kid, she raised money for the Intl Animal Rescue, and was considering becoming a veterinarian. The only thing she made me promise before she passed was to care for our Lyla (a Goldie) the best I possibly could. I am learning to make exceptional homemade dog food (organic, complete nutrition) to keep Lyla healthy for many years to come. I believe my devotion to Lyla will also make me an excellent Person for a Shiba. I recognize that Goldens are extremely easy to care for compared to Shibas, but Elise and I both love the breed and I am dedicated to learning all that I need to in order to welcome a Shiba into our loving home.”
There are no coincidences when the perfect Shiba shows up for someone in need. Divine intervention. CONGRATULATIONS SUSANNE, LYLA, AND HARBOR!

Kodi is Adopted! Adopter Lan has her first Shiba! Kodi came to us from a former adopter who had Kodi for 2 years, but now is quite ill and could no longer take care of Kodi. Kodi is a perfect beginner Shiba, and he bonded quickly with Lan. Living in Watertown MA, they are enjoying long walks in the Arboretum, exploring new places to hike in the snow and woods, and cozy companionship at home. Congratulations!!!

MILLIE IS ADOPTED!!!
Christina and Brendan have welcomed Millie into their home in Boston, and they will be welcoming their first child in a couple of months!
Millie has been entertaining them with her funny Shiba antics, and loves to hang out with Christina when she is reading on the couch. You can see the beaming happiness on Millie’s face!
I want to thank all of the Fosters that took care of Millie for these extended months of finding her the perfect home! And thank you to her original owner, Cara, who trusted us with her placement! CONGRATULATIONS!!

A good plan!
Although we’ve already been employing process this since we started this rescue organization, we agree on this process whether it be a rescue, a State or a country. It might not be perfect, but it’s a start. Imagine if they could do this for people deciding to have kids too.

A new checklist will ensure that dog owners understand the commitment they are signing up for.

PENDING TRIAL!! AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION-DOGE!
Doge is six years old, and wait for it………he is good with cats, kids, and other dogs !! We’d really like to find a home with a trifecta for this Shiba- kids, cats and other dogs!
When does this ever happen? He’s an all-around good dude!
We were contacted by our friends at the Connecticut Humane Society, who we have worked with in the past to help place Doge.
Sadly, his owner who had three young children and had two dogs died suddenly .
Her mother ( Grandmother for the kids) now has the three children, and has to rehome both dogs due to the landlord. This is particularly sad because the children are very bonded with the dogs.
We are accepting applications for prompt approval. Applications can be found on the website. Transportation can be available to any states within New England to the right home.

This is recent alumni, Loki, now owner of Christina (lol).
Loki has filled a hole in her heart from an unfortunate loss of her prior Shiba. We needed to find a very special Shiba that would get along with other dogs and people with no aggression whatsoever.
Loki wasn’t happy living with a GSD, so we were pretty sure that if we got him into a new environment that he would really shine! We’re so happy that Loki has become a wonderful partner for Christina!
So for the New Year, they enjoyed having professional photos taken to start 2025!

ADOPTED! Ace, from NYC, whose owner went into the hospital and did not come out, and the neighbor, Beryl, so kindly took wonderful care of him, got him neutered, vaccinated, and anything else that he needed.
He was a very scared little boy when we got him. He was fostered by Lizzy in Boston (thank you)  as his first stop out of New York.
 Then Jessica and her husband Jordan, who had fostered for us before, seem to be the right fit because their Simba was also a very nervous Shiba when they first got him. With their patience and kindness, Ace now will do his “business” outside, less nervous about outside noises, and he’s enjoying their Shiba, Simba!! Jessica and Jordan are very conscientious people about keeping Shibas happy and comfortable! CONGRATULATIONS!

PENDING A TRIAL STARTING NEXT WEEKEND! Hey Folks-- this International runway model hasn't received any suitors for a new home, how can that be? She's not a complicated Shiba, just has certain preferences. Please consider. AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: 5 yr old gorgeous female named October aka “Toby”!
Toby loves people, she loves having her belly rubbed, and that is her signature move! She likes cats, but not fond of other dogs. SHE LIKE KALE AND OTHER VEGGIES! She would thrive in a country setting for enjoying lots of hikes and walks in nature. A home with older kids can be considered. She is an escape artist so the Adopter’s home will need to have excellent management of security.
She is currently located in the Finger Lakes area of New York- don't worry about distance, we can figure out transport or shared transport, and PilotsN'Paws flights, weather permitting!

SAMPSON AND LADIE ARE ADOPTED! Samantha and Ryan from Connecticut immediately stepped up to offer a home to this bonded pair and welcome them into their home with their Sheeb Numel! They live in a suburban area with a 4 ft fenced yard. Samantha volunteers at rescue organization so she has lots of good experience and a big heart to handle the daily challenges of unwanted misfits. We know that their care will be exceptional! CONGRATULATIONS SAMPSON AND LADIE!

PENDING TRIAL! AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! IF YOU ARE SERIOIUS ABOUT ACE, PLEASE SEND IN AN APPLICATION ASAP-- WE ARE RECEIVING APS NOW AND WILL MAKE A PROMPT DECISION. HOME WITH CATS PREFERRED, PER ACE!
2 yr old neutered boy, ACE!
Ace is a little peanut all of 15 pounds !
He came to us from New York City, where his owner went into the hospital and actually never came back out, and his neighbors took care of him in the meantime. These neighbors were positively remarkable that they got him neutered and provided all of his vaccines as well as everything he could possibly need. They considered keeping him, but he really is terrified of the garbage trucks and the big noises in the city, and they felt it would be best for him to go to a quiet location.
He does not have a mean bone in his body. He’s just terrified at times. We have been addressing his nervousness for about six weeks with a couple of different Fosters and he’s making some improvements.
He would do well in a house with cats, and/or a friendly confident, Shiba or possibly another breed .
He needs a quiet home with patience, no kids because he can’t deal with chaos.

Just a cute picture to start your Tuesday of Zola, who got rescued a few weeks ago from a situation in Maine, and was quickly scooped up by one of our star adopters Rachel, for the benefit of her granddaughter here.

Shortly after Ladie and Sampson arrived at their foster home this afternoon.
Super easy to deal with , they just need a comfortable safe and loving place to lay their heads.
We’ve got a wonderful Foster here, but we do need to find them a permanent home so they don’t get too comfortable at the Fosters and then feel like they’re ripped out again .
Thanks in advance for considering them. Please fill out an application on the website for a very prompt response.

ADOPTED!!! Seeking adopter for bonded Senior pair given to a shelter on Christmas Eve! Owners felt they financially couldn't care for them.
We do have a Foster for these two sweet Shibas, but the Fosters is only available for the next three weeks. We will be fetching them tomorrow from the shelter in Providence, Rhode Island.
The red one is 13 years old
Ladie, lady in good health and she’s tiny about 20 pounds.
The one in the tux is dressed up for New Year’s Day , named Sampson, nine years old 45lbs., has been diagnosed with heartworm, but is being treated and doing . They are up-to-date on all vaccines.
They are very sweet and need to stay together! If you can, please find it in your hearts in your home to fit them in they’d be a lovely addition and not a lot of burden.
The rescue will cover any continued Vet costs over the next few months to finish up Sampson treatment. There is no adoption fee!
