ADOPTED!: MISSY! 6 yrs old, super super sweet. LOVES KIDS AND OTHER DOGS! Foster Allison said she is warming up to her cat Sylvester, by just ignoring him, so a dog-savvy cat in the house could work!

We had her checked out by the vet and she’s very healthy and she’s on a diet now. Allison has exposed her to daily dog parks and lots of urban experiences and she’s great will all!

Congratulations to Oreo; adopted by Hyli, Chris, and Bingo!
Oreo came to us with some behavioral issues and separation anxiety per the prior owner .
We sent them to our Foster/Trainer Laura in Somerville for an assessment and fine-tuning! With Laura he did not display any separation anxiety or behavior issues. One day while at the dog park, soon after Laura received Oreo, Hyli and Chris’s Shiba, Bingo, started playing with Oreo right away. It was an instant match!
We never even posted about him to be available for adoption , but he got adopted very quickly to two owners who are very astute with their exceptional care of their Shibas! They use the highest quality harnesses, and they use the FI smart collar for tracking! Happy pups! Thank you to Hyli and Chris! And also to Laura for helping with fostering and training!

PENDING!!!! STILL WAITING FOR AN ADOPTER WHO WANTS A WONDERFUL COMPANION: Millie; 8 years old, happy girl! LOVES WALKS, HIKES AND WATER! She is playful and has lots of good energy! A real sweetie.
She is good with older kids. Where are all you folks that want a Shiba but have limited dog experience? SHE CAN BE A BEGINNER'S SHIBA! She's ONLY being re-home because the kids keep leaving the doors open, and the gates opened and she keeps escaping. And she wants to be an only pet, nothing unusual about that with a Shiba! So the new home, if it has children, we will want a clear plan as to how the children will not get to the doors. She will do best as an only-pet!
You can tell by looking at her she’s a really easy-going girl! Application can be found on the website under forms and will be promptly considered!

MIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
10 year old tiny MIA, now MAYA,
has been adopted by a loving senior couple in Connecticut , Kathi and Eliot.
Maya came to us through the efforts of the daughterof two seniors, Barbara, that had to go into assisted living. Barbara took her to her home for a few weeks, but realized she probably needed more attention. Nobody realized at the time how little Maya knew about life as a dog; walking on a leash, house- training or people. We thank Barbara for entrusting us to assess her needs and address them.
We applaud Cathie K. , who fostered her for almost 2 months during very, very challenging times with her and multiple vet visits. Through Cathie’s patience and guidance, Maya learned how to walk on a leash and loved it, slowly learned how to bark less, and how to trust humans.
This set her up for her last home now with Kathi and Eliot, who have had heaps of experience with some challenging dogs and did not shy away from Maya.
Thank you to everybody involved and we are so grateful for Maya to have a loving and enriching home for her twilight years. CONGRATULATIONS!

MARLEY IS ADOPTED!
We knew this was an easy boy to place, who is now called Juno.
He is living in beautiful Pepperell, MA, with Deanna, her hubs, two children ages, 11 and 13, a coonhound mix named Ginger and four rabbits!
He is just the easiest Shiba we’ve had in a while and we’re so glad that he fit right in with this family, as he loves family life ! We don’t know what his history was in rural Kentucky other than he was in a terrible shelter that kills animals with no protocol. Thank you to the Rescuer in the Ohio Kentucky area that asked us to step in, to Shinobu who fostered him briefly, and Allison for Transport.

PENDING! This is still Millie.
You’ve seen me post her for two months. The two fosters that have had her say that she’s wonderful! This is not an over exaggeration.
Please refer to my prior post so you see the prior best-home recommendations. Let’s get this girl home.!

So, no cats please! Yes, she is overweight, so we went to the vet and she’s otherwise healthy, now on a diet. Owner unfortunately can no longer keep her as he is unsure of where he will be living, and leaving for the west coast to search.

AXEL IS PENDING ADOPTION!
WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT ON FACEBOOK, and might be a fit? Alex would thrive as an only pet. No children under 12 ( so put him in the bedroom or basement if the grandkids come over if that's reasonable option). He's in Boylston MA and ground transport or flight within 500 miles provided. Help us get this boy to his new home! AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: a rare Real Shiba! This is Axel, a traditional Shiba with all the traits! These gems are hard to find. Axel is 7 years old, and he’d rather not deal with little children as it causes him to stress. He can be considered as a Beginner's Shiba if adopter has had other dog experience and no other pets. He’s had professional training over the years and has an excellent foundation. As a typical Shiba, he can be a little bit aloof, and he likes to be pet on his own terms. Can be particular about other dogs, but OK with passive, docile types. But the owner feels best he would really thrive being the only pet . He loves to be the center of attention! He can go to your home on trial for about a week to see if if it’s a fit before you make any commitment. if you know anybody that you think might like this handsome boy with a quiet household, and savvy to primitive dogs, please mention this post. The adoption applications are found on our website under
“Forms”.

A LONG day for this pilot, our new rockstar Nick, around 10 flight hours to get this boy to our Foster Shinobu! Marley is about two years old. Just got neutered this week and was rescued from a very horrible shelter in rural Kentucky, as he was found as a stray in the streets . With the coordination by rescue org. Greenup Paws in south western Kentucky they asked us if we would take Marley so they could move quickly to save him . Through the effort of a ground Transporter they sent a handful of other dogs and drove through the night to get to Niagara New York. That’s where our Pilot Nick flew from Connecticut to pick up Marley and get him to Norwood. MA, we will accept applications for him now as he is going to be with Shinobu for one week for assessment and decompression . He is very friendly, easy-going would likely do well with children and also with other dogs, though we have not tested it, he does seem to present himself this way .
We are accepting adoption applications for him now .

THE ADOPTED DUO! Jewel and Kai, who were with separate Fosters, got adopted by Betsy and Gary of New Hampshire. They had decided that they wanted to spend their upcoming retirement with SHIBAS!!! The day that Betsy retired, she got off work and immediately drove to Boston to pick up Jewel ( the black and tan). The next morning, Betsy and Gary drove to north of Troy NY to fetch Kai. Sometimes one photo shows all the happiness needed! Jewel came from a mid-west mill and Kai was found as a stray in Connecticut. On day one, Kai was in love with Jewel, laying next to her, and presenting her with a toy as an offering of his love. A huge thanks to our trainer Laura near Boston, who made a huge difference in Jewel's confidence over 6 weeks. And also a huge thank you to Foster Sarah in NY who cared for Kai, got him to the vets for all his vaccines, neuter and rehab! CONGRATULATONS!

Bissell Pet Foundation rescue mission

A scan of the other rescuers here on the tarmac, waiting for the crates filled with dogs to come off the ramp

Precious cargo has arrived at Richmond, Virginia from Missouri! 146 dogs were rescued today from various commercial breeders and various breeds. We have three Shibas on this flight. A huge thank you to the Bissell Pet Foundation for arranging this flight!

Peaches

This is one of my own, her name is Peaches. When I got her last year in March, she was afraid of absolutely everything. The air conditioner going on, any power tools, music, the overhead fan, the blender, you name it. She would shake and tremor. I knew enough to put her on an anti-anxiety soon after I got her (Fluoxetine). My plan was to put her on it for one year for the full benefit to take effect. In 9 months, I saw such a massive improvement that I took her off of it three weeks ago. Right now, I’m outside playing music loudly, the air conditioner goes on and off, and she’s just Chillaxing. So for anybody who has a Shiba with heaps of anxiety, don’t eliminate some of the human pharmaceuticals . They can help deal with this with the advice of your vet. And and if your Vet is not willing to subscribe to this route, think about changing vets. The sensitivity of these dogs cannot be understated. It’s often beyond comprehension with certain vets, how intelligent and sensitive the Shiba is. I am witness to that as I often discuss idiosyncrasies of the Shibe with vets we engage with, and I realize they are often an unknown breed to them if they don’t encounter them often. Feel free to PM me if you have issues with your Shiba regarding anxiety. We have a short list of over -the -counter supplements that have had good success and often we start with those to see if we can make improvement, before elevating to the prescription level. A few supplements to consider is Purina Pro Plan Calming Care, Elle Vet Sciences, Calm Shen by HerbSmith.

None

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

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).
