Dennis, Kuna’s foster, let us know that Kuna has improved and adapted to the rules, routines, and household. Kuna likes to meet new people and will lean and cuddle up against them rather quickly for a Shiba. He also is very happy with his foster sister and they play together with no problems.
Kuna no longer exhibits agression during dinner with the other dogs in the house and can eat his food right next to them with no growling or posturing. He also willingly will walk into his crate and go to bed at night. Dennis said it seems that Kuna hasn’t had any nightmares or nervous reactions in weeks.
Overall, it sounds as if Kuna has adjusted. He gives kisses to his fosters, walks better on a leash, greets new dogs without hostility, and his anxiety seems to be lessening. Kuna is also quite the guard dog. He barks if he sees or hears something unusual near the house.
Kuna is a great dog and we’re glad he’s adjusted well to his foster home. He started obedience classes last month and we will have an update soon on how he’s doing with it.

I am very interested in kuna and his great success at reform. Where is he from and when will he be ready for adoption?
Hi Zachary, If you are interested in adopting Kuna please download and complete the adoption application on our site: http://nycshibarescue.org/adopting-a-shiba/ and fax it back to us. Our adoption team will be in touch once they have reviewed the application.
