My name is Accio and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m the best boy ever. Foster dad says so! If you’re looking for a laid-back buddy to hang out with, that’s me! I’m 2 years old and I weigh just over 30 lbs. Foster dad calls me “gentle giant” because I’m such a good boy with other dogs and the small 3-year-old human who lives here. I’m relaxed and friendly. I don’t make any trouble - I’m here for the naps and for all of the petting I can get! I came to my foster home here in Machesney Park, IL, from a commercial breeding facility. I’m learning all kinds of new things. I love to run around in the securely fenced yard here and I am working on leash walking. Foster dad says I’m getting the hang of it! I’m potty trained and healthy – neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. I haven’t met any cats or small pets yet, so I’m not sure what I’d think of them. My perfect forever home is one with lots of love. Seriously, I am fine if you’d like to pet me all day long! I’d do best in an environment that isn’t too high-stress. I can go with the flow if things occasionally get exciting – I’ll just move out of the way. If you live in the Midwest and want a mellow and friendly boy to be your side-kick, then visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn 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 dad so we can meet!
