Courtesy Listings for Area Owners
The following dogs are listed as a courtesy and are not in the care of NYC Shiba Rescue. If you are interested in adopting a courtesy listed dog please follow the instructions in each listing for contacting the current owner or caretaker. All negotiations regarding the adoption will be carried out privately between you and the current owner/caretaker.
Since we cannot guarantee any listed Shiba, prospective owners are encouraged to obtain as much information as possible before adoption to determine if a particular dog is the right match for your particular circumstances and environment. Listing caretakers are also encouraged to gather as much information as possible regarding potential forever homes and are encouraged to use this generic adoption application to aid in that process.
 CJ Age: 2 yrs. 10 mos. Sex: Male Color: Tan and White CJ is a young shiba who is looking for a new forever home. His current family is relocating and cannot take him with them. CJ is a good dog but has some insecurities and needs someone who has the time to work with him and help him become a confident, well-behaved, canine citizen. He can be aggressive with strangers if they frighten him and has been known to be startled by people riding by on bikes or coming too close without him feeling safe. Once he’s met you though, he’s friendly and is good with older children and adults. CJ has been to the dog park and is good with other dogs but it’s been a while since he’s gone regularly and could use some reintroductions to being with other dogs. He’s energetic, playful, and affectionate with those he knows well such as his family. Sometimes he can be a bit guarded and protective too. His new owners would need to teach him to curb his guard dog behavior and be ok with people coming into the house. Sometimes loud noises scare him like fireworks and he needs some reassurance from his owners that everything is ok. CJ doesn’t dig holes or chew items and he’s house trained and knows some basic commands. If you are interested in CJ please contact Yvette or Chris at 609 631-9262 or email. |
 ChesterAge: 4.5 yrs Sex: Male Color: Sesame Vaccines: Up to date Chester is a friendly, affectionate dog who needs a new home. Currently, he’s living in a city and he does not seem to like the noise, hustle, and overall pace. He’d be much more relaxed in a suburban area. Chester can be a little shyt upon first meeting you, but will quickly warm up to you. He is hesitant meeting new people and needs to be approached calmly so he is not frightened. He knows basic commands and loves to play outside in a backyard or quiet area. His current owner has a house outside of the city and says that Chester bounds around with more confidence, plays more, and is relaxed. In the city, Chester is tense, panics, and is very nervous. If you are interested in adopting Chester please contact Sandford at: 516 768 6624 |
 UshiAge: 4 yrs Sex: Female Color: Tan and White Ushi is a fun loving, active, and friendly dog. She’s good with adults and likes having visitors in her house. Outside of the home she can be a little weary of meeting new people. She is looking for a new home because she’s not getting along with the small child in the house and doesn’t understand how to read children’s body language. This has resulted in some aggression and biting. It is best for Ushi to not be placed in a home with children. She also has some guarding and possession issues that would require behavior modification and patience from her new owner. Overall though, she is a fun dog and likes to play and explore. Ushi is on medication for an incontinence problem and it is working out fine. If she were in a home without other dogs and children and got plenty of exercise and play time, she’d be a wonderful dog! If you’re interested in adopting Ushi please contact Ralph at: rwloos@charter.net |
 LilyAge: 6 yrs old Sex: Sp. Female Color: Black and Tan w/ some white Lily is a beautiful 6 yr old female who needs a new home because she does not seem to understand the body language of the small child in the house. Lily lives with 2 cats currently and chases them, it would be best if she was the only pet in the house. She has a lot of energy, likes to play with balls and go for long walks. Lily is very good with adults but when children come over, she tends to bark at them and does not tolerate their energy very well. It would be best if Lily was placed with a family that had no children or older children. Lily also seems to prefer men over women in terms of who she bonds with. She is housebroken, knows some basic commands, and needs someone who is dog-experienced and understands the shiba personality. If you are interested in adopting Lily, please contact Teresa at: 860-482-3930 or tbrinaldi@optonline.net |
