My name is Katy and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m still a puppy – not yet 7 months old – and I weigh 17.5 lbs. My mama was rescued by SIRA with a litter of puppies in her belly. After I was born and weaned, I came to my foster home here in Lees Summit, MO. I’m healthy, happy, and very smart! My “must haves” are another resident dog to play with and a family that can be careful to prevent escapes (I’m sneaky and can dart out of an open door or gap in a fence). I love playing with the other dogs here in my foster home. I’m still a puppy so I can be obnoxious and pester the older dogs and pushy and sassy if I don’t get my way. I’m pretty confident! But I’m also eager to please. I play nicely and am a loving and sweet girl at heart. I’m a good girl in the house. I’m potty trained and play nicely in my pen when foster mom is away, but I am not used to being completely alone. I have plenty of energy to spare, but I am calm while foster mom is working and like to nestle up against her. My perfect forever home would have at least one friendly dog who I can play with and who can help me learn good manners. I know how to walk on a leash, but I’d love to have a securely fenced yard to play in. My forever family should also be committed to positive-based training methods so I grow up to be a well-behaved adult. I love food and treats, so that should help with training. I have never lived with human kids, but I’m very curious about them. I might be too much for little ones, but foster mom thinks I’d love attention from older kids. I’ve met a cat once and didn’t bother her. I’m spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you live in the Midwest and want to add a smart, sweet and sassy Shiba to your pack, then I’m your girl! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster mom so we can meet!
