Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Lisa and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m 6 years old and tiny, weighing just 15 lbs. Foster mom says I’m a sweetheart! I came here to Sussex, WI, from the commercial breeding facility where I made puppies. That was a hard life. Living in a home is new to me and I’m still getting used to it, but I like it! I love ear scratches from my foster mom, going outside to chase squirrels and birds, and watching the world around me. So far, there isn’t much I don’t like – except baths. I’m cautious at first and skittish around new things, but I am curious too. I follow my foster mom around and hang out with her when she works from home. I’m also her best gardening buddy. I like it when she carries me and I give her gentle kisses when I'm happy. I’m a quiet girl and well-behaved in my crate. But my goofy side is starting to leak out, like when I lay on my back and wriggle around, or when I smile with my tongue hanging out. I’m a classic escape-artist Shiba. I’ve outsmarted all of the gates already! I love being outside, in the yard or out for a walk. I am very interested in other dogs, though I prefer other dogs that are not too high-energy. There is a cat here, who I ignore. My perfect forever home will be understanding as I adjust to new people and surroundings. I’ll do best with another nice dog to be my friend and show me the ropes. I’ve never met any really little kids, and sudden movements and unexpected noises can spook me, I think I’d do okay with older kids if they are patient and respectful. My forever family will be very careful opening doors, since I’ve shown my escape-artist skills. Knowing how to prevent me from getting loose will be important. I’m healthy, spayed and vaccinated. When I first came into recue, I had 13 bad teeth removed. I feel so much better! If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a sweet, goofy, quiet, adorable girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to learn more and to apply to become approved to adopt. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster mom so we can meet!
