Candy is a 30lbs., spayed, female shiba who is approximately 4 to 6 yrs old. She was a stray before coming to NYCSR and is very independent and can be aloof at times. She is friendly when she meets people. Candy only likes to be petted on the head.
She is a very quiet dog, doesn’t seem to have any aggressive tendencies, and can be trusted alone in the house. On walks and when she’s outside, Candy tries to chase small animals like squirrels and will pull to chase them. She is also not very friendly with other dogs.
Her current foster home is training her to learn some commands, Candy may not have ever received any training prior to being a stray. We’re working with her to learn how to walk on a leash, politely greet people, trust people, and to adjust to living with people.
She needs to get some more basic obedience, but she is very well behaved in her home. She does understand no, and is learning sit and stay. With some time and consistent training, Candy will be ready to find her forever home.

Well today is day two of Candy and I learning from each other( I’m her vacation home until her permanent foster home is ready to pick her up . So far these are the things that I have notice.
She is extra careful when noticing any one raising their hands above their heads. Today she chilled in the back yard while i was at work and i called my mother to check the Candy’s status, As per my mother, Candy just picked a corner in the yard and napped most of the day. I walked her for an hr this morning and my cuz gilbert took her for another early afternoon 4pm. I just got back from walking her again. We took her to petsmart to buy her sold gold food, and she met another Dog, Candy was polite and well behaved. i even bathed her and she was a good sport. When walking she tends to pull a bit, but just need to hold on to the leash or stop walking and she will stop right away. well that’s it for now, let me know what else i should be looking out for. It appears she enjoys our drives around town. She been sleeping in my room and she likes to lay on the floor at the foot of the bed.
