Kato is doing very well. He was very thin when he first came into the rescue, but he’s gained a couple of pounds and is looking good.
He is a sweet dog with people. He seems okay with other dogs most of the time, but has had a couple issues, particularly when toys (tennis balls in particular) are involved. He has some guarding issues with toys at the dog park. He needs to be watched carefully as he can become aggressive very quickly. Though he has improved, he still needs work to walk on a leash. A harness makes a world of difference with him as well when walking.
Not much has changed with his personality, he is still a very energetic and playful puppy that ALWAYS wants to play.
He has mastered the command “sit”, and his foster was just beginning to teach stay, but he hadn’t quite grasped that one yet. He generally jumps on new people when he meets them, and occasionally when he is excited. He also still begs fairly regularly.
Overall, Kato is a good dog and with a little more work he will be deemed adoptable.
Keep checking back for more on Kato.

How’s Kato doing? He seems like a little doll.
Kato is doing well! You can read his blog entries to see how he’s progressed since being with NYCSR.
Kato’s face is adorable from his pic on petfinder.com. I don’t live in NY so I’m not sure if I’m eligible to adopt from the NYC Shiba Rescue.
Hi Sarah,
We adopt out of state. If you are interested please fill out an application for Kato!
