My story

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

My name is Choi and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m about 6 years old – SIRA isn’t exactly sure, since I was found all by myself as a stray and the shelter did not know my background. Foster mom says I’m goofy and affectionate. I’ve been a very good boy since coming to my foster home here in Montgomery, IL. I’m potty trained and can be left alone in my playpen or in the kitchen when my foster family leaves the house, and I’m well behaved with the resident dog and cat. I love to play, but I also like to cuddle on the couch or just hang out near my foster mom if she’s working or reading. If I’m lucky, I might get a tummy rub! I’m very food motivated and will hop around in anticipation when it’s meal time. I’m also very smart. I know “come here,” “sit,” “stay,” and “lay down.” I’m working on learning new words, like “leave it” and “look at me.” I’m not super-vocal, but I do bark when someone knocks on the door or when somebody sneezes. My favorite thing to do is to go for leash walks, especially on quiet evenings. I walk nicely. If I see another dog approach, I’ll get excited and start to whine, and I like to try to chase he squirrels. I love being outside so much that I’m definitely an escape risk. My forever family will need to be very careful when they open doors to the outside, or I might just bolt out and take myself on an unauthorized adventure. I’m not very skittish around loud noises, but OMG – I hate the vacuum cleaning monster! I’m also not so fond of having my toenails trimmed. Foster mom leaves that up to the professionals. But I will tolerate baths at home. I’m a healthy boy – neutered, vaccinated and I weigh around 21 lbs. My perfect forever home will have no small kids (teenagers or older please). My forever family will also need to safeguard against door bolting and escapes. Really, all I want is my very own human to love me and to be my forever family. Is that you? If you live in the Midwest and are interested in me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet! I can’t wait!
