This Shiba Inu has been adopted.
I picked up a sad little shiba from an upstate shelter near my hometown. She had been left at the shelter because her owners no longer wanted her…it was the usual excuse…we don’t have time…So I picked her up on the April 21, just five days after she arrived at the shelter. Her 4th Birthday [continue reading...]

We’ve had our first volunteer “fail fostering 101″ by deciding to adopt her foster dog. Suzie will be staying with Gloria (and Tomo). We couldn’t be happier for Suzie. She was our FIRST foster dog and we get to keep her in the family! [continue reading...]

Meet NYC Shiba Rescue’s third foster dog.
On Thursday of last week, I received an email that a female Shiba near Albany needed out of a shelter. I thought “how can we possibly do anything about a dog way up there?” but I know one person about 20 miles from there, so I dropped her an [continue reading...]

Suzie and Tomo came to the dog run to play with Snickers today. Suzie did much better with other dogs than we expected. She and Snickers got into it again, but it was mostly noise and teeth… looked scary but no damage done. She’s a fiesty little thing, but a GOOD girl really.
I think [continue reading...]

Suzie is now fully recovered from her surgery. She is such a strong girl with an amazing attitude. Not once did she complain about her pain or even try to pull at the stitches despite the difficult operation she’d had.
During the first week or so, Suzie had quite a lot of nervous energy, which I [continue reading...]

Hero is doing great. His legs are healing and he is walking and running better everyday. (When I first picked him up he could barely stand). He is eating well and gaining weight. He is going back to the vet on the 17th for another evaulation…which I think he will pass with flying colors. His [continue reading...]

On April 6th, I went to visit with Hero, Foster Mom Terra, and Cadence (her black and tan, female Shiba). I couldn’t believe how much better Hero already looked. He was so alert and walking so much more normally! He LOVES to be petted, rubbed, and brushed. Terra has been giving him doggie massages, which [continue reading...]

On April 1st, Snickers and I went to visit Suzie, Foster Mom Gloria, and Tomo (Gloria’s black and tan, male Shiba). When Snick ran into the apartment all Shiba-hell broke loose as Suzie immediately tried to stand on his back and Snickers SOOOOO hates that. He is a nice boy, but he just won’t tolerate [continue reading...]

This was the first picture we saw of Hero. On March 29th I received an email that had been forwarded through a couple different Shiba rescue contacts. This poor guy was in a shelter. He’d been hit by a car and the shelter was looking for someone "in rescue" to take him off their hands [continue reading...]

Ah Suzie… the dog that started it all!
On March 24th a local rescuer in Long Island saw a Shiba in a shelter and contacted Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue through a form on their website, looking for someone to get this sweet girl so she’d be safe. Michelle at MSIR forwarded the message to me, [continue reading...]
