Haven

My name is Haven and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m still a young girl – I'll turn 2 y.o. in March – and I weigh 25 lbs. I am curious, smart, very friendly and sweet. No really – I am! Foster mom says so. I came to my foster home here in Quincy, IL, because my original owners could no longer care for me. Since I am used to living in a house with a family, I settled in pretty well. I love getting attention and affection – pets and belly rubs and treats! I’m a good girl in the house – no accidents and I don’t get into trouble or destroy things when the humans go out. I usually just snooze until they come home again. There are other dogs here and I love to run and play with them in the fenced yard. One of the other dogs has been aggressive to me, so I’m very cautious around her, but I don’t pick fights. My favorite thing to do outside is chase squirrels! Yep, I inherited the Shiba Inu prey drive and since it’s in my genes, I just can’t resist. I pull really hard on the leash when I see one and I’ve bolted right out of the front door if I see a squirrel run by! Because of this, I probably am not a good match for cats or small pets. And my forever family will need to be very careful when opening doors or gates to the outside and also be extra careful during walks so I don’t get loose. There’s not too much that I don’t like, except for nail trims. I put up quite a struggle. I haven’t lived with any small kids, but I’ve met some and think they’re fine. I sometimes bark at the teenagers here, but it doesn’t take long for me to introduce myself and make friends. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. My perfect forever family would have a securely fenced yard and another nice dog for me to run and play with. I’ll need someone who is experienced with preventing escapes, since I’m a door bolter. If you live in the Midwest and want a sweet, smart and loving little girl like me to be part of your family, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can tell if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.
