Story
My name is Dixie and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 4 years old and weigh 17 lbs. I came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, from a pretty awful situation where people were not very nice. So, it’s not surprising that I’m scared and shy of humans and it takes time for me to learn to trust. Pro-tip: Freeze-dried beef liver treats really help. Lots and lots of them. Yum! I’m a smart and curious girl. I’m fast and good at playing keep-away in the yard. At first, foster mom couldn’t catch me even when she made me wear a long drag-leash. Eventually I learned that letting foster mom approach and pick me up was okay. I love to explore the fenced yard here in my foster home. When I first got here, my focus was to find a way out of this strange new place, but I discovered that it’s locked down like Fort Knox! So, I shifted my attention to enjoying the other dogs, especially another other Black & Tan Shiba that looked like me. I’d convene daily secret Black & Tan meetings (we’re sneaky that way) until she went to her forever home. Foster mom explained that one day it would be my turn. Well, I guess that day is here! I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. My perfect forever home will be experienced with fearful dogs and patient as I learn to feel safe. My forever family will need to prevent escapes, since I’m a door-bolter, especially when I’m adjusting to a new environment. I’m learning to walk on a leash, but not yet confident, so my forever home must have a securely fenced yard. I get along well with other dogs and will need a friendly resident dog to help me feel safe and adapt. I’m good with cats, but probably not a good match for little kids (too scary!). If you live in the Midwest and want to help a petite, pretty little girl like me learn to trust and blossom, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become approved to adopt from SIRA. 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 connect you with my foster mom so we can meet. Hint: Bring liver treats!

Story
My name is Carlee and I’m looking for my forever home! My “must haves” are a securely fenced yard and no small kids at home. I’m 7 years old and I weigh 27 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I lived my whole life making puppies. When the breeder had to shut down, SIRA came to rescue me along with lots of other dogs. We were all so scared at first – everything was so new and strange and different. It has taken me a while, but I am starting to realize that I think I won the lottery! There’s a big fenced yard here at my foster home that is my favorite place to be. I never knew what it was like to run free. I love to run laps around and around the yard with a big goofy grin on my face because I’m so happy! It took me a while to realize that I could trust my foster family to be kind and gentle. Humans were so scary where I used to live. But I’m getting braver! Sometimes now when my foster mom or dad holds me, or sets me down next to them on the couch, I realize that I like the attention. My wish list for my forever home includes a securely fenced yard. I’m starting to learn about walking on a leash, but I’m not yet enough of a pro for that to be my only option. There are cats here in my foster home and I’m good with them. I’d love to have another nice dog at home to help me adjust, but I’d probably do okay on my own as long as my family is patient with me if I’m shy or scared at first. If you have older quieter kids at home, that’s okay as long as they are gentle and patient with me. I think small kids would scare me too much. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a goofy, sweet, happy girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA can introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!

Story
My name is Ranger and I’m looking for my forever home! I am 2 years old and I weigh 20 lbs. My “must haves” are a securely fenced yard, a forever home with no small kids, and a forever family who is familiar with shy/fearful dogs. You see, I had a rough life. I came into SIRA’s care after I was abandoned by a commercial breeder at a vet’s office. The vet could tell right away that I had not been treated kindly. I was so terrified to be in such a strange and unfamiliar place that I paced frantically and snapped at the air. The vet staff saw that a few of my teeth had been knocked out and others broken. They fixed up my mouth so that I wouldn’t be in any more pain and SIRA placed me in a very special foster home to help me feel safe while I recovered. Since I’ve been at my foster home, things have been SO much better. Nobody hurts me here and there are other dogs to play with and the humans here are so kind! They’ve given me the time I needed to adjust. I was very cautious at first, but gradually I started to show my silly, playful side. My favorite things to do are to throw toys around and wrestle with the other dogs. Oh, and eat treats! Foster mom and dad give me these AMAZING beef liver treats that are so awesome. I’m smart and a very good boy in my foster home. One thing that has been tough for me is leash training. I’m really sensitive to things going over my head and around my neck – you would be too if you had been through what I have. So foster mom and dad are getting me used to a step-in harness, which feels more comfortable for me. Because of this, I will need a securely fenced yard for potty breaks and play time and a forever family who is patient and familiar with shy/fearful dogs so I can continue to blossom. I would love to have another dog or two in my forever home to play with, but no small human kids, please. They’re just too scary! I’m a healthy boy with so much potential. I’m being fostered in Jonesboro, MO. If you live in the Midwest and want a handsome boy like me to be your best bud, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can tell if we’d be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. I’d love that!

Story
My name is Diesel and I’m looking for my forever home. I am 5 years old and I weigh 33 lbs. I came to my SIRA foster home here in Fenton, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I helped make puppies. Living in a home is new for me, and I’m still pretty jumpy around loud noises and sudden movements. And I get anxious sometimes – but that’s to be expected, since I’m still adjusting to a whole new world. But I’m getting more used to things each day and foster mom is helping me to relax and have fun. I’ve figured out how kind humans can be and how much I love soaking in that kind of love and attention. Yeah, I’m a loverboy. I’ll even jump up on the couch to be close to my foster family. My other favorite thing is being outside in the fenced yard here. OMG! I love, love, love to run and leap and play! I’m a quiet and well-behaved boy. I am house trained and I sleep through the night in my crate with no complaints. I don’t bark or make noise. I love being with other dogs and I am good with cats. I don’t pay much attention to them at all. I haven’t been around any human kids though, so I don’t know how I’d be with them. I’m starting to learn how to walk on a leash and my forever family will need to continue to practice with me so I become a pro. In the meantime, I’ll need a securely fenced yard and a family committed to being careful so I don’t accidentally slip through an open door or hole in a fence. I’d love to have a nice dog to be my friend and play with, but foster mom thinks I’d do okay without one as long as my humans have plenty of time to play with me. I am a healthy boy – neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a handsome, sweet boy like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA makes sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet! I’d like that!

My name is Foxie Girl and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 7 y.o. and weigh 32 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I worked hard making puppies. I’m a shy girl, especially around humans I don’t know well. You see, where I came from, humans were scary and not very kind and gentle. But here in my foster home, things are different! My foster mom and dad are so nice to me and patient. They tell me how pretty I am and what a good girl I am! They are helping me to adjust to this new way of life and I’m starting to relax and let my personality come out. I love to explore the fenced yard here in my foster home. There are other dogs here and that helps me feel safe. I’m learning how to play with them. I’m good with the other dogs here and even with the resident cats. I haven’t been tempted to chase them at all. I’m even starting to learn how to walk on a leash! Foster mom says I’m doing really well, but I am not quite ready for adventures in the neighborhood. Sudden movements and loud noises will spook me. My perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard where I can explore and play. I’ll need a resident dog to help show me the ropes and help me to adjust. Cats are fine too, but no small kids please (they would scare me too much). I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. The vet who listened to my heart said that I have a grade 2 heart murmur. He said that I don’t need any treatment since it isn’t causing any problems. If you live in the Midwest and want a pretty, sweet, shy girl like me to share your home, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA get to know you and your home environment so they can tell if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
