Ideal home:
Quiet and patient home
Secure fenced yard
No small children

My name is Diesel, and I'm searching for my forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself and what I'm looking for in a family.

At 5 years old and weighing 33 lbs, I recently transitioned from a commercial breeding facility to my SIRA foster home in Fenton, MO. Everything is new to me, and I'm still adjusting to the sights and sounds of a home environment. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle me, but with each passing day, I'm becoming more comfortable and learning to relax, thanks to the love and attention from my foster mom.

I'm a loverboy at heart, enjoying snuggling up with my foster family on the couch and soaking in their affection. But nothing brings me more joy than being outdoors in a fenced yard, where I can run, leap, and play to my heart's content. I'm quiet and well-behaved indoors, house-trained, and content to sleep through the night in my crate without a fuss.

While I haven't been around human kids yet, I get along well with other dogs and cats, showing little interest in them. I'm also starting to learn how to walk on a leash, but I'll need a family committed to practicing with me until I become a pro. A securely fenced yard is a must for me, along with a family dedicated to keeping me safe from accidental escapes.

Although I'd love to have a doggy friend to play with, I'll also do well as the only pet in a home where my humans have plenty of time to play and bond with me. I'm a healthy boy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations, ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving family.

If you reside in the Midwest and are interested in welcoming a handsome, sweet boy like me into your home, please consider visiting www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the approval process with SIRA. They'll ensure that we're a good match before introducing you to my foster mom so we can meet!

Thank you for considering me as a potential addition to your family. I'm excited at the possibility of finding my forever home with you!

Warm regards,
Diesel 🐾

Hi there, I’m Lass, and I’m on the hunt for my forever home! I’m a petite 6-year-old Shiba Inu, weighing just 15 pounds. Foster mom in Monroe, WI says I’m a total sweetheart and a very good girl. I’m looking for a calm, quiet home where I can relax on a soft bed, enjoy some cheek and head scritches, and snuggle up with my favorite human for goodnight cuddles.

I’m still getting used to living in a home with humans, so I’m a bit shy at first. While I might not come to you for attention right away, I really enjoy it when foster mom gets on the floor with me to give me gentle pets.

The other dogs here have been such a big help! I adore their company—they make me feel safe and are teaching me how to play and be silly. I even chase my tail when no one’s watching! Having another friendly dog around in my forever home would be amazing since they help bring out my confidence.

When my foster family goes out, I’m a very good girl. I’m potty trained and not destructive at all. In fact, I seem to feel more comfortable socializing, eating, and drinking when the humans are away. But I’m learning every day that people can be kind and gentle, and I even let foster mom pick me up with no worries.

Leash walking is a new skill I’m working on. I’m starting to get the hang of it, but for now, a securely fenced yard is a must since I’m still learning to feel confident outside.

I’d do best in an adult-only home because I find human kids a little too overwhelming. Their quick movements and loud noises scare me, and I just want to run and hide. I’ve never lived with cats, but I don’t mind the guinea pig who lives here. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find my perfect match!

My dream forever home will have a patient and understanding human who’s willing to give me time to adjust and feel safe. Bonus points if there’s a doggy sibling to show me the ropes!

If you live in the Midwest and think I might be the shy, sweet companion you’re looking for, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. I can’t wait to start this next chapter with you! 🐾

Kita here with an update. What a crazy day! I had surgery yesterday to fix my damaged knee. I did such a good job that I got to go back to my foster home this morning! I've got medicine to make sure that I am not in too much pain and foster mom even took off my cone for a minute so I could take this photo. Thank you to everyone who donated so far - you helped me get the care I needed right away! SIRA still needs more funds to cover the full cost, but we've made a big dent in the bill. Phew! I think I'll go take a nap now. SIRA is right - all of you Shiba people are so amazing!

Hello,

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 🐾

**Update - Kita's srgery went well yeserday and she may get to go hime today! Thank you so much to all who have contributed so far!** My name is Kita and I need your help! I did something expensive. I didn't mean to - I'm a good girl and I don't know how this happened! I hurt my knee - really bad! Foster mom saw me limping so she took me to the vet and they used big words like "shattered cruciate" and "torn ligament" and "TPLO surgery" and said I need to get it fixed TODAY. SIRA has promised to get me fixed up, but the vet estimates that it will cost $5,000 because of the extent of the damage! SIRA's special "Katie's Fund" that helps with foster dog medical expenses was not expecting this big hit and we need help to cover the cost. Foster mom says every little bit will help! You can donate securely here, or through SIRA's website at www.savingshibas.com (click the yellow "donate" button). Thank you!

Hi! I’m Jaela, a 3-year-old, 18-lb. girl looking for my forever home! I came from a commercial breeding facility to my foster home in Columbus, OH, and wow—life here is so much better (though I still don’t trust that scary Roomba!).

I’m a gentle, good girl in the house—potty trained, non-destructive, and fine when left alone in my kennel or playing in the living room. I’m still learning to trust people, so I’m a bit shy, but I’ll let foster dad pet my head and pick me up. I take treats so gently!

I love other dogs, especially my foster fur-brother, and the fenced yard is my happy place. I’m working on leash walking, but it’s easier with a dog buddy by my side. I haven't met kids or cats, but loud noises can be scary, so a quiet home with older, gentle kids would be best.

I’d love a forever family with a securely fenced yard and, ideally, another nice dog to play with and help me feel at ease. If you live in the Midwest and are ready to bring home a shy, playful, and gentle girl, visit savingshibas.com/adopt to apply. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster dad so we can meet—can’t wait!

Hi, I’m Franklin, and I’m ADORABLE! I’m a Shiba puppy under 1 year old, living with my foster family in Bloomington, IL, and I’m on the hunt for my forever home.

This little guy is a social butterfly with other dogs. He loves to play, wrestle, and snuggle up with his furry friends in Normal, IL. Franklin sometimes struggles to pick up on social cues from dogs who aren’t as interested in playing, but he’s learning! He’s even met a cat and did great—curious but polite. With a dog-savvy cat, he could do well in a home that includes feline friends.

When it comes to humans, Franklin is more selective. Small children under five terrify him, and he will run and hide. Older, calm, and quiet kids are okay, though his jumpy excitement might make him better suited for homes without toddlers.

Franklin loves going on walks and exploring the world on a leash, sniffing everything in sight. At home, he’s made huge progress when left alone. While he used to cry and scream, he now sits quietly in his crate and waits patiently for his people to return. That said, his excitement upon reuniting can sometimes lead to some vocal enthusiasm and playful mouthing.

Potty-trained and food-motivated, he’s goofy, affectionate, and loves playing fetch with toys or tennis balls in a securely fenced yard. Because Franklin is a door-bolter, his forever family will need to be experienced in preventing escapes and keeping him safe. Belly rubs are always welcome, and he adores snuggling with humans and other dogs alike. His playful personality includes evening zoomies and a heartwarming nightly routine: around 7:30, he’ll curl up with anyone—human or dog—for a cuddle session before settling in his kennel for bed.

Franklin does have some special considerations due to a ventricular septal defect (VSD). Despite his grade 4 heart murmur diagnosis, cardiologists say he can live a normal life with yearly monitoring.He should avoid overheating but otherwise can enjoy regular activity like any healthy dog.

If you’re ready to give Franklin the loving, patient home he deserves, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply and start the process of meeting this sweet, silly boy. Franklin is eager to find his forever family—maybe it’s you!

Hi there! My name is Fido, and I’m on the lookout for my forever home. I’m a sweet 6-year-old girl, weighing 25 lbs. I came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, after the commercial breeding facility I lived in closed down. Life there was hard, and I was really scared of humans at first, but my foster family is kind, and I’m starting to feel braver.

At first, I’d hide in the corner, but now I don’t run away when my foster family comes near.I’m still a bit skittish, especially with loud noises and sudden movements, and I’m not too comfortable going outside on my own, so my foster family carries me. I’ve tried leash walking, but it’s not for me. Still, I’m a good girl—potty trained, spayed, and vaccinated. I’m quiet, and when I’m inside, I hang out in my kennel on my own. I get along with all the dogs and don’t bother the cats.

My perfect forever home would be with a patient family who has experience with shy dogs. I’ll need a securely fenced yard and another nice dog to help me feel safe. My family should be careful with doors because I might bolt if I’m spooked. I’d thrive in a quiet, adults-only home with no shared walls, as I’m easily startled.

Can I share a little dream of mine? I’d love to be adopted with my son Morty—that would be a dream come true!

If you live in the Midwest and want to open your heart to a sweet, shy girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster mom so we can meet!

Ideal Home
Has another dog
No cats or other small prey type animals
Patient quiet home

I'm Drake, your go-to adventure buddy! At 5 years old and 30 lbs, I'm ready to explore the great outdoors with you. From walks to hikes, count me in! Transitioning from a commercial breeding facility to my foster home in Machesney Park, IL, has been eye-opening. I adore neck scritches and solving food puzzles—proof of my cleverness!

While loud noises still startle me, I'm learning to trust humans. I'm independent but seek comfort during thunderstorms or when hungry. I'm cool with fellow furry friends, though I may guard high-value treats. A patient and calm forever home with a laid-back dog companion sounds ideal for me.

Although small pets and little kids aren't my cup of tea, I'm healthy, neutered, and vaccinated. So, if you're in the Midwest and craving outdoor adventures, let's connect at www.savingshibas.com/adopt. Can't wait to meet you! 🐾

Hi there! I’m Akika, a 4-year-old, 20 lb. bundle of fun, and I’m on the hunt for my forever home! I may be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m the sweetest, silliest girl around. I came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility, and now that my pups are grown, I’m ready for my own family!

I’ve got the typical Shiba spirit—full of opinions and not afraid to share them. I can be cautious with new people, but once I trust you, I’ll be running up for all the love and attention! I love playing with toys and other dogs, and though I sometimes try to chase the cat here, I mostly leave him alone. I’ve even lived with kids and did great!

I’m learning to walk on a leash, though I can be a bit stubborn (hey, it’s a Shiba thing!). I’m also potty-trained and do well in my kennel when my foster family isn’t home. The vet says that I have a luxating patella (loose kneecap) in one of my knees, but it doesn’t bother me and it’s not serious enough (grade 2) to need surgery at this time. But it’s something to watch as I get older.

My ideal forever home would have another dog for me to play with and patient humans who understand it might take me some time to trust. A house with no shared walls would be best since I can be vocal. I have a mild luxating patella, but it doesn’t slow me down!

If you live in the Midwest and want a fun, happy companion, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply. Let’s meet soon!

I'm Foxie Girl, a 7-year-old, 32-pound sweetheart looking for my forever home. I spent my early years in a commercial breeding facility, where humans were scary. Now, I'm in a loving foster home in Jonesburg, MO, learning to trust and enjoy life.

I'm shy, but with the kindness and patience of my foster parents, I'm starting to relax and show my true self. I love exploring the fenced yard and playing with the other dogs here—they make me feel safe. I'm even okay with the resident cats and learning to walk on a leash!

I'm looking for a forever home with a securely fenced yard and a resident dog to help me adjust. Cats are fine, but no small kids, please—they're a bit too much for me. Health-wise, I'm spayed, vaccinated, and have a grade 2 heart murmur, which doesn’t need treatment.

If you're in the Midwest and want a pretty, sweet, shy girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application helps SIRA ensure we'll be a perfect match. Once approved, you'll get to meet my foster mom and me!

I can't wait to meet you!

Love,
Foxie Girl 🐾

Ideal home
No Cats
No Small Children
Have another dog in home

I'm Waylon, a 1-year-old bundle of love weighing 29 lbs. Originally from a commercial breeding facility, I'm now in Jonesburg, MO, seeking my forever home. I'm affectionate and playful—always eager for attention and cuddles. You'll often find me running around with blankets or towels, my favorite playthings.

While I enjoy my alone time in the kennel, I'm still in my chew-everything phase, so supervision is key. I'm smart and motivated by food, making training a breeze. Though I love fenced yard play, I'm ready for long walks exploring the world.

Ideally, my forever home would include an active dog companion. While I haven't met human kids, I'm likely to enjoy their company, though I may accidentally knock over little ones. Cats, on the other hand, are a no-go.

Neutered and vaccinated, I'm ready for adventures with my new best friend. If you're in the Midwest and seeking a fun, lovable companion, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the adoption process. Let's meet soon! 🐾

Meet Penny: A Sweet and Shy Soul Looking for Her Forever Home. Currently fostered in Davenport, IA

Penny is a 3-year-old, 18-pound Shiba Inu who’s as unique as she is adorable! While she’s still learning to embrace the world around her, Penny has a gentle heart and loves being part of the pack—especially if it includes other dogs.

🌧️ Rain Lover Extraordinaire 🌧️
Penny isn’t your typical dog who loves lounging in the backyard. She’s all business when it comes to potty breaks, heading back inside quickly—unless it’s raining! For reasons only she knows, Penny enjoys the rain and will happily linger outside longer than usual. While baths aren’t her favorite, she seems to find something magical about those rainy days.

🐾 Walking Buddy in the Making 🐾
Penny enjoys quiet walks at parks or on trails but can get a little nervous near busy streets. With patience and positive experiences, she’s sure to grow more confident on her leash adventures.

🏡 House Manners 🏡
This girl is fully house-trained and has excellent indoor manners. Whether she’s enjoying free run of the house or curling up in bed with her humans, Penny sleeps peacefully through the night. She’s also comfortable in her kennel when needed.

👶 Shy Around Little Ones 👶
Penny can be skittish around children, especially younger ones. A calm and quiet home without young kids would be ideal for her as she builds trust with her forever family.

🐕 Dog-Loving Sweetheart 🐕
Penny adores other dogs and lights up when she’s around them. She’d do wonderfully in a home with a confident resident dog to help her feel at ease. She hasn’t been tested with cats, her cautious nature around small animals like squirrels suggests she’d likely prefer a home without feline friends.

Penny is a healthy, spayed, and vaccinated girl who’s ready to find a patient, loving home that will give her the time and understanding she needs to blossom. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to share your life with—and don’t mind a little rain—you just might be Penny’s perfect match!

Ready to meet Penny? Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to learn more and apply to adopt her. Let’s make this sweet girl’s dreams come true!

10/01/2025

Hi, I’m Lindy, a 6-year-old, 20-pound love bug looking for my forever home! I’m goofy, friendly, and thrilled to leave my past as a puppy mom behind. Now, I’m all about soaking up attention, playing with other dogs, and loving on my foster family here in Troy, MO.

I’m healthy, spayed, and vaccinated, and I adore little kids—they give the best pets and treats! I’m also leash-trained, though sometimes traffic sounds make me nervous. I’m great in my crate and almost fully potty-trained (a routine will help me settle in). I even figured out how to dig under the fence to make new dog friends, so my forever family will need to keep an eye on me in the yard and around doors!

My ideal home has patient humans, maybe another dog or kids to play with, and doesn’t share walls (I can be chatty!). If you’re in the Midwest and want a silly, happy girl to bring joy to your days, visit savingshibas.com/adopt to apply!

Ideal home No small children Secure fence Another dog in home 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? If you reside in the Midwest, please visit www.savingshibas.com for more details about me and other Shiba Inus ready for adoption. You can apply to adopt, and we'll be sure to get in touch. Let's make magic happen! 🐾

Ideal Home Must be able to keep on prescription food Take in every 6 months for ultrasounds 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!

Ideal Home: No small children under 10 yrs Securely fenced Yard 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! 🐾

Ideal Home No Small children Quiet and patient home Securely fenced yard 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!

Ideal Home Another dog in home Like walks Quiet home no young children 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.

Ideal Home Another dog in home Enjoy walks and have secure fenced yard No small children in home Hello there, I'm Kita, a charming 7-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? If you reside in the Midwest, please visit www.savingshibas.com for more details about me and other Shiba Inus ready for adoption. You can apply to adopt, and we'll be sure to get in touch. Let's make magic happen! 🐾

Ideal Home Securely fenced yard No small children Quiet and patient home 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!

Dear Potential Forever Family, Ideal Home: No dogs or very relaxed/calm dogs Patient quiet home with no small children Family likes to go on walks 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
