My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Panko needs a home with no kids and no dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He is bonded to his humom most and is generally more drawn to women. He is a bit of a cuddle bug, so he would do best with a female as his primary caregiver and snuggle buddy.

Panko has been with his family his entire life. He's always been a bit of an anxious dog, which causes him to guard his precious resources. It has always been manageable by eliminating high value treats and giving him his own safe space to eat his meals. After bringing home their 1st child, Panko's anxiety has increased significantly, making his guarding worse. His family recognizes it's not good for him to live with this high level of stress all the time and have made the difficult decision to rehome him. He will need a foster/adopter who understands or is experienced with resource guarding. He is currently working with a highly skilled and experienced trainer and is making amazing progress with counter conditioning. Adopters MUST be willing to have multiple meet and greets with Panko and begin working on training prior to placement. Continued training after placement will also be a requirement.

Panko is house trained and was crate trained as a puppy but hasn't used it in a long time. He's a well-behaved boy, and in a home with no kids or pets, would not have a reason to be crated. We have dog tested him and he may be able to have dog friends in the future but will still need to be an only dog. Panko is used to getting 2 walks a day, which helps with his anxiety, so he will need a family who is active.

Panko is a very sweet social Shiba. He loves meeting new people and getting scratches! He will always remember a new friend and will give a tail wag and want to say hello when he bumps into them. He has lots of energy and never tires on his walks. He is used to having a yard and loves to roll in fresh green grass and his favorite game is biting at the water from the hose.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Our adoption application is an online form. You will have the option to save your application and complete it later if you need more time.

2.

Interview

If you appear to be a good fit for a dog we will reach out to schedule a phone interview. Otherwise you will be added to our waitlist.

3.

Meet the Pet

We do a meet and greet with perspective adopters in their home. This allows us to do a home inspection as well.

4.

Take the Pet Home

All adopters are required to do an adoption trial period of a minimum of 30 days before we finalize the adoption to be sure it's a good fit.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

After successful completion of an adoption trial, we will sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.

Additional adoption info

We look to the adoption waitlist first when trying to place a dog.
Please know, we are currently experiencing a high volume of application submissions, so your patience is appreciated.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Colorado Shiba Inu Rescue is a foster-only rescue, meaning, we do not have a shelter or facility that can be visited by the public. All of our dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted. In order to meet a dog, potential adopters must submit an application and participate in a phone interview before they can meet a dog.

More about this rescue

We are a handful of volunteers doing rescue work in our spare time. We do our best to respond to calls and emails in a timely manner, but your patience is appreciated.

Other pets at this rescue

There are currently no additional pets at this rescue. Please check back later!
