Ma

Sweetpea, Friends of Rutland Animals ~ Rutlan, MA (508) 886-6191

Rusty
Rusty is a 6 yr old male shiba who was surrendered to Sweetpea after his owner passed away. He is a very energetic young guy. He is neutered and up to date on shots. Rusty wants to chase some cars and trailer trucks when being walked, and needs a dog-experienced owner. He will need a fenced yard or supervision - he cannot run free as he bolts and will run.

He has a high prey drive and tries to chase small animals, it would be best that he be the only dog in a home. He doesn’t seem to mind cats though. Rusty is crate-trained and housebroken.

If you are interested in adopting Rusty please contact: Sweetpea, Friends of Rutland Animals at 508-886-6191

New York

Elmsford Animal Shelter ~ Elmsford, NY (914) 592-7334 or info@elmsfordanimalshelter.com

sukiSuki
Suki is a 4 yr. old spayed female tan shaiba mix. She came to Elmsford as a stray and was adopted to a family but it wasn’t the right fit. Now she’s looking for a forever home. She’s up-to-date with vaccines and healthy. Suki walks well on a leash and is housebroken. She likes to play games such as fetch, loves stuffed animals, and can be extremely sweet and affectionate once she gets to know you. Suki will sit on your lap, nudge your hand with her nose trying to flip it onto her head to be petted. She also gets along with other dogs.

Since little is known of her past, it’s uncertain if she was abused or had harsh experiences with men, she prefers women and is very wary of men. It may take a very gentle male to break her of her fear. It would be best if a dog-experienced family adopted her and knew how to work with fear aggression and low confidence in dogs or was very willing to dedicate the time needed to bring out the best in Suki. Once she’s comfortable she’s adorable. She’s a very smart dog and knows commands such as sit, down, no, and come.

oscarOscar
Oscar is a 6 1/2 yr. old neutered red shiba mix. He’s a little nervous around strangers and new surroundings. The shelter environment is very stressful to him and he needs a new home. Oscar walks well on leash, enjoys car rides, games of fetch and chase, and is completely housebroken. He was turned in due to his nervous nature, he had bit an adult after being startled. It is best that he go home to a calm, adult-only environment with no other animals. He is a good dog and will warm up to someone after knowing them a little bit. Oscar knows commands such as sit, come, and no.


New Jersey

Bergen County Animal Shelter ~ NJ 201-229-4600 or SSchulz@co.bergen.nj.us

Jessie
Jessie is an adult Shiba Inu mix and a sweet and lovable dog. Jessie is a bit hesistant with new people and very nervous being in the shelter. However, after she warms up to a person and trusts him/her, she loves to be pet and can be a very relaxed, laid-back girl. She has had some obedience training, can be shy and nervous of new things but with a loving home and a good routine, she could be the perfect addition to a home.

Jessie does display some hesitation with men and has shown fear, it may be from past experiences, a kind leader would break her of this fear. Since Jessie is a nervous dog, it is not recommended she go to a home with children, as she may bite them since she may not know how to read their body language. A calm, quiet, and dog-experienced home would be the best.

If you are interested in adopting Jessie, please contact Beren County Animal Shelter: 201-229-4600 or SSchulz@co.bergen.nj.us

Kye
Kye is a beautiful girl tri-color, 10 mos. old, female Shiba Inu. Kye may have come from a puppy mill and is currently looking for a new home. She is very shy and spends most of her time outside. Kye seems to get along with other dogs and someone who will work with her to become a social and confident dog.

Since she’s still a puppy, she’d need someone who had the time and was willing to train her to learn basic commands and manners. She also needs someone who is patient and knows how to help a dog with socialization.

If you are interested in adopting Kye please contact: Cheryl Ely at ckely@ptd.net 570-402-0505 or 570-730-9226.

 

Northeast Shiba Inu Sanctuary ~ PA 570-344-3754

Hanzo
Hanzo is a three-legged, 4-6 yr old neutered male Shiba Inu. He is housebroken and very social with people. He should be the only dog in his new home as he does not get along well with other animals.
Hanzo also seems unsure around children, it would be best if he went to a calm low-key home and with other children. Hanzo was a stray, so we don’t know too much about his past.

He loves sleeping on his fluffy bed and is a pretty low-key dog who sometimes has bursts of energy. He doesn’t seem interested in chasing squirrels and doesn’t react when he sees cats. Hanzo is good at the vet and allowed his nails to be clipped but he wasn’t “happy” about it. He sometimes gets anxious when he’s crated and left alone but if he’s given a kong toy with peanut butter it distracts him and he calms down.

If you are interested in Hanzo, please call Jennifer at 570-344-3754.


Virginia

Cinder & Cedar

Cinder and Cedar are two 8 week old red, male, Jindo puppies available for adoption. They will be neutered, receive vaccines and be heartworm tested before adoption. They should weigh about 45 pounds when full grown. They are currently in the VA area near Washington but can be transported to the right home. Cinder and Cedar are both very friendly, loving puppies and will make a wonderful addition to a home. They are very active puppies and will need someone committed to raising and socializing them properly. They can be adopted separately.

They are slowly understanding how to walk on a leash and are learning how to be housebroken. Jindos must be walked on leash at all times since they are not reliable off leash. A person experienced with primitive breeds preferred (Akita, Shiba, Husky, Chow, Jindo, Shar Pei) but others will be considered. Please research the breed before applying.

Please contact dmhtravel@aol.com for application. Home visit and vet references required.
