Mika's Story

My name is Mika and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m still a puppy – I’ll turn 1 y.o. in August. I currently weigh 15 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Montague, MI, from a commercial breeding facility. I’m a smart girl – very cautious, but also very curious. I love treats and I love to play! I can play rough and hold my own even with my foster brother who is twice my size. When we’re not wrestling, I like to cuddle with him and give him kisses. I love to play in the yard too. I like to explore and dig holes and chew things (um...and eat poop), so foster mom keeps a careful eye on me! When my foster family is out of the house, the other dogs and I stay in our crates. I’m learning how to go for walks on a leash. I'm getting the hang of it! While I love other dogs, new people still scare me. You’d be scared too If you came from a place like where I came from. My forever family will need to be patient with me and understanding as I learn to trust and to feel confident in new situations. Prior experience with shy/fearful dogs is a plus. My family should also be very careful around open doors and gates to avoid escapes. I’d love to find a forever family with another nice dog to help me adapt and feel safe, but I’d probably do okay without another dog as long as my humans have time to help me learn and grow into a well-mannered and socialized adult. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. When I was a really little puppy, both my sister and I were suspected to have heart murmurs, but that resolved and I don’t need any special care. If you live in the Midwest and want to share your life with a pretty little girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!

Shiba Inu Rescue Association's Adoption Policy
So you've seen the beautiful, headstrong breed known as the Shiba Inu. You've researched the breed's characteristics and examined your living situation and decided you are ready to open your home to a Shiba Inu. Here is a brief summary of SIRA's adoption process. For more detailed information please visit our website: www.savingshibas.com/adopt. The best first step if you live in the midwest and are considering adopting from SIRA is to visit our webiste and read through the adoption policies and procedures. Then you can complete our online application to become approved as an adopter. Once you have completed your application, you will receive a confirmation receipt from Google Form. Depending on how many applications we're processing, it may take several days before you hear back. If you have questions about the status of your application, please email adoptsirashibas@gmail.com. The application forms help us learn more about you and your home environment so we can identify any potential challenges and match you with available dogs who will thrive in your home. Once your application is reviewed, our Applicant Approval Coordinator will get in touch with you about scheduling a home visit with a SIRA volunteer in your area. After your home visit is completed and approved you will be able to meet available foster dogs! For questions about the adoption process please send an email adoptsirashibas@gmail.com. SIRA depends on foster families as a critical part of our operation. Foster homes help a newly rescued dog adjust to living in a home environment. They work with SIRA to address any medical needs that the dog may have (including spay/neuter) and nurture and socialize the dog to prepare him/her for adoption. Foster families have the right to adopt their foster dog and participate in the process of approving adoption matches. If you're interested in learning more about becoming a foster home, visit www.savingshibas.com/foster or email fostersirashibas@gmail.com.
