Nadia's Story

My name is Nadia and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m still a puppy – I just turned 1 in October. I came to my foster home in Sussex, WI, when my owner could no longer care for me. I’m a healthy girl –currently 21 lbs of smarts, sass, and sweetness, according to my foster mom. I am having a lot of fun here at my foster home. I love being outside and have lots of energy when we go for walks – I like going fast and I can pull – especially when I see a squirrel or other critter that I want to chase. Yep, I’m a typical Shiba in many ways. I can be willful and I play hard, with all of the ferocious sound effects that come with it. I’m an expert toy-destroyer and shoe thief, and my side-eye is on point. I’m super smart and learn quickly, like how to sneak a treat off of a human plate or counter top if left unattended and in my reach. I’m also a master escape artist (I don’t like being confined by gates or crates). But I didn’t get the memo that said Shibas were supposed to be reserved and aloof. I love to cuddle and am super affectionate. I even sleep under the covers with my foster parents. I get sad and worried when my people leave the house, but am okay if there is another dog or person there to comfort me. And when they come back home (even if it’s only been 20 minutes) I throw a party with barking, butt wiggles, and leaping! My perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard where I can run and play and a family who understand how to be careful around open doors and gates to prevent escapes. I’d love to have another nice dog to play with, as long as they don’t mind me stealing their toys or their spot on the sofa. I will stand up for myself if needed too! I have met cats and like to play with them. I haven’t met any human kids, so I don’t know what I’d think of them, but foster mom thinks I’d be okay with older kids. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and potty trained. If you live in the Midwest and want a fun, snuggly girl like me to add sparkle to their life, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will 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.
