Story
Nash is the sweetest, most loving puppy. He is playful and a great cuddler. He is proud of his toys and makes sure to show it!! He is very energetic and needs lots of play time. He was adopted from an animal shelter with a birthday of May 6, 2024 making him just under a year. He is good with all human friends, but does get very excited around little kids. He is good with other animals, but prefers other dogs with his same playfulness. He is a sweet boy and anyone would be lucky to have him.

Story
Beebe was born on 9/19/2019. My daughters, wife and I have been with her since July 2020. Beebe loves to play and gets along with other dogs but we are unsure of cats. Beebe loves going on walks, is very strong, and loves to run. She is always very adamant about seeing other dogs so she is not a dog that is easy to walk on a leash in in crowded areas and does much better at the dog park when it comes to dog socializing. She is great with kids as she has always socialized with others at our home and visiting others. Beebe is up to date on all vaccinations and she does well at doggie boarding centers if needed. She has no health issues or concerns and is spayed and microchipped. She is house broken with no issues, and listens to commands: (sit, stay, go outside, go for a walk, no, go to crate. ) We are unable to care for her anymore due to health concerns. Reach out with questions adopting her.

Story
My name is Mars and I’m looking for my forever home. I was born in October, so I’m still a puppy. I weigh 21 lbs and a bundle of energy! Yeah, I'm cute, aren't I? I’m a Shiba mix and I live in my foster home in Columbus, OH. My mother was a Shiba who was found as a stray with a belly full of puppies! SIRA did a DNA test and learned that our dad was a Beagle mix. I’m great with other dogs, especially if they love to run and jump and play like I do. I’ve never met a cat, but I bet I’d be curious and would want to play. I’ve met human kids – little and big - and I love playing with them too! My favorite things to do (besides playing) are getting held, belly rubs, or when I can snuggle up next to foster dad for a nap. Foster dad says I’m really smart! I’m learning how to walk on a leash. I’m not a huge fan of wearing a harness and I’m in that awkward puppy phase, so I’m kind of uncoordinated and distracted by every interesting smell or movement or noise. When foster dad leaves the house, he puts me in my kennel or in a puppy-proof room just so I don’t get into things I’m not supposed to. I’m treat-motivated and will sit and go into my kennel for a treat at bedtime. I’m good in my kennel as long as there is another dog nearby. If I’m by myself, I may sing the song of my people before settling down. So if your home shares walls with neighbors, I may not be the best fit. I’m working on potty training. I can be inconsistent, so I do best when I’m on a very regular schedule. I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. I’m not at all skittish. I LOVE food and will over-indulge if given the chance. I am very curious about new things and can solve a new treat puzzle in no time! So far, I like sticking close to my foster dad and the other dogs here – I haven’t shown the typical Shiba urge to escape on an adventure. If you live in the Midwest and want a happy-go-lucky love-bug like me to be your bff, visit //www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster dad so we can meet! Hooray!

I'm just a happy go lucky young guy with lots of energy. I love running in the yard, playing with other dogs, going on walks. I'm working on my commands and manners. I'm cool with cats, older kids. I think i would love to be a running partner for someone. I would really like to have another dog to play worth or be able to do to doggie daycare. >I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.  April 18, 2025, 7:44 pm
