Aurora, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Panko needs a home with no kids and no dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He is bonded to his humom most and is generally more drawn to women. He is a bit of a cuddle bug, so he would do best with a female as his primary caregiver and snuggle buddy. Panko has been with his family his entire life. He's always been a bit of an anxious dog, which causes him to guard his precious resources. It has always been manageable by eliminating high value treats and giving him his own safe space to eat his meals. After bringing home their 1st child, Panko's anxiety has increased significantly, making his guarding worse. His family recognizes it's not good for him to live with this high level of stress all the time and have made the difficult decision to rehome him. He will need a foster/adopter who understands or is experienced with resource guarding. He is currently working with a highly skilled and experienced trainer and is making amazing progress with counter conditioning. Adopters MUST be willing to have multiple meet and greets with Panko and begin working on training prior to placement. Continued training after placement will also be a requirement. Panko is house trained and was crate trained as a puppy but hasn't used it in a long time. He's a well-behaved boy, and in a home with no kids or pets, would not have a reason to be crated. We have dog tested him and he may be able to have dog friends in the future but will still need to be an only dog. Panko is used to getting 2 walks a day, which helps with his anxiety, so he will need a family who is active. Panko is a very sweet social Shiba. He loves meeting new people and getting scratches! He will always remember a new friend and will give a tail wag and want to say hello when he bumps into them. He has lots of energy and never tires on his walks. He is used to having a yard and loves to roll in fresh green grass and his favorite game is biting at the water from the hose. If you are interested in Panko, please fill out an adoption application ASAP! If you are already on our waitlist, please reach out to let us know you are interested.

Story
Owner reported this dog is friendly with other dogs and had no concerns other than really likes to chew. This dog may need extra chew toys around the house to help train this dog which items are appropriate to chew. This dog has been easy to handle at the shelter and did great meeting a large dog here.

Story
He is a sweet, senior dog. Likes humans and can tolerate other dogs when off leash. Unfortunately, we live in an apartment rental with an infant who is about to crawl and we can’t keep up with cleaning his accidents despite what we have done so far. He’s an anxious fella that needs someone who can take him out more frequently or who has a backyard.

Story
Yuki is a bonded pair and must be adopted with his sister, Luna Kuma. Yuki (“you-key,” meaning happiness in Japanese) Momo is a 9-year-old loyal, energetic dog who loves his family and thrives on attention. He’s curious, adaptable, and has a charming stubborn streak—especially on walks when he insists on finishing a good sniff. He does great with people and enjoys meeting new faces. Around other dogs, he can be a bit protective and may give a small growl to create space. With proper introductions, he adjusts well and has even lived comfortably with a cat. Yuki is very devoted—he’ll watch for you at the window and stay close by your side. He’s vocal and expressive, sometimes barking, even at night. He would do best with an active, engaged owner who can provide attention and keep up with grooming, as he sheds and dislikes baths. Yuki is a special dog who deserves a loving, attentive home.

Story
Luna is a bonded pair and must be adopted with her brother, Yuki Momo. Luna (8yr) is a sweet, goofy girl with a dorky personality that will keep you smiling. She loves food and will “sing” her signature Shiba song while you prepare her meals. She greets you with excitement and joy when you come home. She isn’t much of a barker but uses unique vocalizations to “talk.” Luna can be shy at first, but with patience, she becomes very affectionate and loves attention. She’s an excellent walker, attentive, and well-behaved, though she may need time to adjust to new environments. She enjoys playing and also knows when to relax and lounge. Luna likes having cozy spots where she feels safe. She has had rare accidents when nervous but has never urinated indoors. She does shed and needs regular grooming. She’s great with people and pets, enjoys the dog park, but may be nervous in the car and occasionally has itchy paws. Luna is a loving companion who deserves a patient, attentive home.
