Jenna Hi Nan,

Penny doesn’t have a problem with children specifically, but sudden noises and movements make her nervous and jumpy, so it is not recommended that she live with small children.

Does she get growly or do they do a number on her little shiba nerves? There are no children in our home, but my cousin (a very mature 10 year old) visits about twice a year. After months of looking at (and wanting to keep) your shibas, I'm finally filling out the application. Most of the dogs seem to have notes to the effect of "no children" and I was just a bit curious about it. What exactly is her issue with children.

That would normally not be overweight for a female Shiba. A perfectly sized female should be around 16 or 17 pounds. However, Penny is a good bit shorter than the standard, so 13.9 pounds on her little frame was too much. She was like a little round sausage - no waist and no tuck up. She is just perfectly cute, cute, CUTE now though. My male, Snickers, is 24 pounds and they are adorable together when we go walking. Penny walks right beside him (practically brushing up against him) and they make quite a pair. :) Actually no. That would normally not be overweight for a female Shiba.

My gracious...my shiba is twice her size. That'd be funny having 2 dogs of the same breed next to each other that are that large of a difference in size. 13.9 lbs is overweight?

She just needed some rules. She weighed 13.9 pounds when I first took her to the vet and probably weighs about 13 now. She was a tad overweight, but now she has a cute little waist. :) Abigail – No, she hasn’t shown ANY signs of nipping since a week or so after she came to live with me. She just needed some rules.

Our adoption process starts when an <a href="http://nycshibarescue.org/adopting-a-shiba/" rel="nofollow">adoption application</a> is submitted. Applications are reviewed in chronological order based on date received. Depending on the initial review, we check references and conduct a home visit. After the home visit, if we have a dog that you are interested in and we think is a good match, then we set up a time/place for you to meet the dog. Following the meeting, there is a 24 hour waiting period during which all parties decide if the adoption should move forward. Jenna Hello everyone,
