Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi everyone, my name is now Summer. My foster parents picked my name for the Fourth of July/ Freedom theme because my personality is inspired by the warmth you feel in the late evening of Independence Day when you smell food grilling and Shibas barking! I am a 4-year-old red female Shiba Inu! I was rescued with 8 other Shiba Inus from an AR breeding facility. I lived my entire life in a 4’ x 6’ pen without toys, a soft bed or grass under my feet. When I arrived at Shiba HQ, I was very scared and confused and huddled in a corner with the other Shibas who traveled with me. The volunteers noticed that a very scared black and tan Shiba kept cuddling behind me in the corner of the yard, so DC SIR decided to keep us together in a foster home. We are the only dogs in the home, but I am learning to trust people and enjoy my new freedom! You’ll see videos of me dancing around in the grass! I am so happy to have a lot of space to run and play in! In just 4 days, I have learned to go downstairs (not up yet), watch for wildlife through the windows, and discovered the joy of play. Each day, my confidence grows when go on walks, take in the warm sun on my face, and smell the trails that other dogs have been on. Lastly, my appetite is finally growing, and I have mastered going to the bathroom outside! I will need to have full medical before I am available for adoption. If you think I am a good fit for your family, go ahead and apply to adopt me! I look forward to enjoying a life of freedom!
