Hello there,
I'm Kita, a charming 6-year-old on the hunt for my forever home. While I may start off a bit shy, my foster family is helping me gain confidence every day. I have a deep love for the great outdoors, where I can frolic and play freely. A tranquil and serene home with a secure, fenced yard would be the ultimate paradise for me.
I'm quite the social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, and I even get along swimmingly with cats. Leash walks are quickly becoming a favorite pastime of mine, and I promise to be on my best behavior when left alone.
If you're seeking a sweet and gentle companion, look no further! I come bearing love, kisses, and maybe even a charming howl or two to add a little melody to your life. Let's embark on a journey of creating wonderful memories together—could you be the one to fulfill my dream of a forever home?

Love to go on walks and cuddle
Hello, I'm Konai, a sweet and snuggly 8-year-old boy in search of my forever home! I left behind my days at a commercial breeding facility and now enjoy the love and care of my foster home.
I'm a true cuddle bug, and I get so excited when my foster mom comes home that I jump and spin with joy. I love following her around, and she says I'm her cuddle bug. I also adore other dogs, whether it's playing with them or simply hanging out. While I'd love a nice dog friend in my forever home, I could also be an "only dog" as long as my family is around a lot.
I enjoy going for walks and exploring the neighborhood, and I'm fine without a fence. Treats, naps, and playing with toys are some of my favorite pastimes. Foster mom wants you to know that I might snore a bit, but I don't believe her!
After some health challenges and surgery, I'm now healed and ready for my forever family. I'll need a prescription diet, regular vet check-ups, and ultrasound exams every 6 months to stay healthy. While I haven't lived with little humans, foster mom thinks I'd be okay with them.
If you're in the Midwest and looking for a sweet, silly snuggle-buddy like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the process. I'm eager to find my forever family!

Patience to let me shine
Hello wonderful humans!
I'm Ranger, a 2-year-old, 20-pound charmer, on the lookout for my forever home. Before we dive in, here are my "must-haves": a securely fenced yard, a kid-free forever home, and a family that understands shy/fearful dogs. You see, my past has been a bit rough, but I'm ready for the love and kindness I truly deserve.
I came into SIRA's care after being abandoned by a commercial breeder. The vet noticed right away that I hadn't been treated kindly—some teeth knocked out, others broken. They fixed up my mouth, and SIRA placed me in a special foster home where I could recover and feel safe. And let me tell you, things have been SO much better here!
In my foster home, I've discovered the joy of play—throwing toys around and wrestling with other dogs. Treat time is a highlight, especially those AMAZING beef liver treats. I'm a smart and good boy, but leash training has been a challenge. I'm sensitive to things around my neck, so my foster family is helping me get used to a step-in harness. A securely fenced yard is a must for potty breaks and playtime.
I'd thrive in a forever family that's patient and familiar with shy/fearful dogs, allowing me to continue blossoming into the best version of myself. While I'd love canine companionship, let's skip the small human kids—they're a bit too scary for me!
If you're in the Midwest and ready to open your heart to a handsome guy like me, head to www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more info and to start the application process. Your application helps SIRA understand if we're the perfect match. Once approved, we can meet, and I can't wait for that day! 🐾

Hi there, I'm Carlee, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! I'm a 7-year-old, 27-lb bundle of joy currently enjoying life in Jonesburg, MO. I spent my whole life in a commercial breeding facility, making puppies until SIRA rescued me along with many others.
Adjusting to this new life took a bit, but I'm starting to realize that I hit the jackpot! My foster home has this fantastic fenced yard, and let me tell you, running free is my absolute favorite thing. I do laps around the yard with the biggest grin because, well, I'm just so darn happy!
Humans used to be scary, but my foster family has shown me kindness and gentleness. I'm getting braver each day, and now I enjoy attention, especially if it involves being held or sitting on the couch next to them.
For my forever home wish list, a securely fenced yard is a must. I'm still learning about walking on a leash, but I'm not quite a pro yet. I get along with cats, and having another dog around would be nice, but I think I'd do fine on my own as long as my family is patient with any shyness or fear I might show initially.
If you have older, quieter kids, that's cool too, as long as they're gentle and patient. Small kids might be a bit too much for me. I'm a healthy girl, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
If you're in the Midwest and interested in a goofy, sweet, and happy girl like me, check out www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more info and to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA ensure we're a good match, and once approved, you can meet my foster mom and, hopefully, me!

Hey there, awesome folks!
I'm Morty, your soon-to-be favorite sidekick, on a quest to find my forever home! Picture this: a 7-month-old, 22-pound bundle of joy, currently residing in the vibrant city of Jonesburg, MO.
I started my journey from a closing commercial breeding facility, a bit shy and scared at first. But guess what? My foster home is like a puppy paradise! There are other dogs to run, play, and tumble with in our securely fenced yard. And toys—oh boy, toys galore! I've never had so much fun!
Let me tell you about my foster mom and dad—they're the best! Snuggles, treats, and hanging out—what more could a pup ask for? I'm an enthusiastic eater, and my foster mom says I "eat like a cow." I'm taking that as a compliment!
I've got this crate thing down—quiet and content when it's bedtime or my humans are away. Now, about my perfect forever home—it's all about playtime! If you love to play, help me burn off some puppy energy, and maybe have a securely fenced yard (though not a deal-breaker), we're on the right track.
Leash-walking? I'm working on it! With a bit of practice, I could be your perfect running buddy. If you have another dog who enjoys rough and tumble, fantastic! But heads up, I'm still learning doggy social cues, so older dogs who need their space might not be my best match.
I'm fast and strong, and that prey-drive kicks in—so, extra safety precautions outside a secure fence are a must. Sorry, no cats or small pets for me! Little humans? Haven't met any yet, but foster mom thinks I'd be great with them.
Health check—neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you're in the Midwest and craving a sweet, silly, high-energy buddy, look no further! Head to www.savingshibas.com/adopt, get the ball rolling, and let's make it official. Once approved, SIRA will hook you up with my foster mom so we can finally meet! Can't wait to join your adventure squad! 🐾

Dear Potential Forever Family,

Meet Layla: Your Sweet and Shy Shiba Companion!
Hey there! I'm Layla (also known as Dee Dee), the cutest little 6 year old Shiba you'll ever meet. I might be a bit shy at first, but give me some time and cheese, and I’ll be your best friend! I'm currently fostered in St. Louis, Missouri
I absolutely love going on walks. The moment I stepped outside, I knew it was my favorite thing to do. Earning my affection was easy for my foster family—they just gave me some cheese. Now, I adore head scratches, especially in the morning. And guess what? I’ve figured out that if you’re on the toilet, it’s the perfect height for some head pets! Yep, I’ll sneak in there just for some extra love.
Loud noises, like thunderstorms, can be a bit scary for me. When that happens, I either find a cozy corner to hide in or let my foster family pick me up and cuddle me until I feel safe again.
Once I warm up to you, I’m all about affection. In the mornings, I can’t wait for my foster family to wake up so I can get my morning pets and scratches—my favorite part of the day! I’m a smart girl too. I’m learning basic commands and even help out by putting on my harness. I come when whistled and stay when told, but I might sit only when I feel like it. Shiba independence, you know?
I’m very well-behaved. I don’t jump on furniture, destroy things, or bark much. I’m potty trained, sleep through the night, and love lounging around when I'm not on a walk.
I’m looking for someone who wants a loving walking buddy and a couch potato. If you’re patient and can give me time to warm up, we’ll be a perfect match. I can’t wait to find my forever home and get all the head scratches I love!
If you think we’d be great together, reach out! I’m ready to meet my new family and start our adventures. Visit www.savingshibas.com/a

My name is Ranger, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! Allow me to share a bit about myself and what I'm looking for in my perfect family.
At 2 years old and weighing 20 lbs, I've had quite the journey to find a loving home. Unfortunately, my past was rough, as I was abandoned by a commercial breeder and left with some painful injuries. However, thanks to the caring folks at SIRA and my wonderful foster family, life has taken a turn for the better.
Since arriving at my foster home, I've experienced nothing but kindness and care. I was cautious at first, understandably so, but gradually, I've started to reveal my silly and playful side. I adore playing with toys, wrestling with other dogs, and indulging in delicious treats – especially those beef liver treats, they're the best!
Despite my past challenges, I'm a smart and good boy in my foster home. Leash training has been a bit tough for me due to my sensitivity, but my foster parents are helping me adjust to a step-in harness, which feels more comfortable. Thus, a securely fenced yard will be essential for me to explore, play, and do my business comfortably.
For my forever home, I'm seeking a family who understands shy and fearful dogs, as I continue to build trust and confidence. While I enjoy the company of other dogs and thrive in their presence, I'm not suited for a home with small children, as they can be overwhelming for me.
I'm a healthy boy with immense potential, and I'm currently being fostered in Jonesboro, MO. If you reside in the Midwest and are seeking a handsome, loving companion like me, please consider visiting www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the application process.
Your understanding and patience are key as I continue to blossom and adjust to a life filled with love and kindness. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom, and hopefully, we can meet and start our journey together.
Thank you for considering me as a part of your family.
Warm regards,
Ranger 🐾
I'm Morty, a 1 yr old bundle of joy on a mission to find my forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself: I came from a commercial breeding facility, but when I arrived at my foster home in Kansas City, MO, I discovered a whole new world of fun!
At first, I was scared and shy, but once I realized how awesome it is here, I let my goofy, silly side shine. There are other dogs to play with, toys galore, and the best part? Treats! I'm a big fan of treats, and my foster mom says I eat like a cow—I guess that's a good thing!
I'm a good boy when it comes to bedtime or when my foster family isn't home; I quietly hang out in my crate. But what I really love is playing and burning off my puppy energy. A securely fenced yard would be fantastic, but I'm also up for leash walks and adventures with my forever humans.
If you have another dog who loves to run and play, that would be super! I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to playing with others, so an older dog who needs space might not be the best fit. While I haven't met any little humans yet, my foster mom thinks I'd like them.
I'm a healthy guy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you're in the Midwest and looking for a sweet, silly, high-energy buddy, look no further! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the adoption process through SIRA. They'll help determine if we're a good match, and once approved, we can meet and start our journey together! 🐾

Hey there! I’m Melvin, a lovable, goofy Shiba Inu on the lookout for my forever home. I’m full of personality and energy, and I promise to keep you entertained with my antics. Sometimes, I run into glass doors thinking I can get out, but that’s just part of my charm!
I’m about 2 years old and weigh 27 pounds and am currently in Columbus Ohio in my foster home. Despite my goofiness, I’m very sweet and well-mannered. I love being petted and will happily lay in bed or on the couch with you if you’re giving me attention. While I’m not a cuddler yet, I enjoy being close and might just warm up to snuggling over time.
A Little About Me
I can be a bit like a moody teenager, with my ups and downs. I love running around from room to room and lounging on the bath mat in the bathroom. My crate is my special place. I’m very particular about how I arrange my toys and blankie in there. It’s my safe space, but I’ve been spending more time outside of it lately, which is a huge win for me! Recently, my foster family moved my crate into the bedroom, and I’ve been so happy to be closer to them.
My Energy Levels
I’m very energetic and definitely not a couch potato. I love to run around and play, especially in a securely fenced yard where I can spend all day if given the chance. I’m not a big fan of baths or water, but I absolutely adore head, chin, and butt scratches. I get along well with kids as long as they’re not too loud or rambunctious. I’m also pretty good with other dogs, though I prefer calm companions over high-energy ones.
Training and Behavior
I’m relatively treat-motivated, which is great for training, but if there’s a lot of chaos around, I might get a bit distracted. I’m still learning to walk nicely on a leash. Sometimes, I pull and get anxious if I see the door, but if you can take me where the door isn’t visible, I do much better. I’m also good at playing keep-away in the yard, and I’m learning to let my foster dad approach
Hey there, I'm Konai, your future cuddle buddy! At 8 years young and 37 lbs, I'm a snuggly guy searching for my forever home. I'm currently in Illinois, enjoying walks, toys, and lots of love from my foster mom. I adore doggy pals and neighborhood adventures. Sure, I snore like a bear and love rolling on clean floors, but who doesn't have quirks? After surgery, I'm fully healed and ready to share my love. Let's make memories together! 🐾

Dear Potential Forever Family,
My name is Dee Dee but I also answer to Layla, and I'm in search of my forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself and what I'm looking for in a family.
I'm a six-year-old girl with a heart full of love, despite my challenging past. Until recently, I spent my days making puppies at a commercial breeding facility. But thanks to the caring folks at SIRA, I've been given a chance at a new life.
Since arriving at my foster home in central Missouri, I've been experiencing all sorts of new things. I've learned to play and socialize with other dogs, even if they're bigger than me! Though I stand my ground, I'm gentle and don't display any resource guarding with humans.
While I'm still a bit nervous around people, especially men, I'm learning to trust and enjoy the company of my foster family. I'm a smart girl, and I've already mastered potty training and leash walking. I even help get my harness on for our walks!
Speaking of walks, I absolutely love them. Exploring the world around me is so exciting, although unexpected noises can startle me. But with patience and understanding, I'm sure I'll grow more confident over time.
In my forever home, I'm seeking adult humans who are gentle, patient, and familiar with Shibas and dogs from commercial breeding situations like mine. A securely fenced yard would be ideal, as I love to burn off energy and sometimes walk faster than my foster mom can keep up with!
I'm a healthy girl, spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations, ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving family. If you reside in the Midwest and think I could be the perfect addition to your family, please visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the adoption process.
Thank you for considering me as your potential furry companion. I can't wait to meet you and start this new chapter together!
Warm regards,
Dee Dee 🐾
