Nikko's Story

Welcome Nikko to Shiba Rescue of New Jersey<br/>On May 28, 2026<br/>Nikko is a very handsome Black and Tan male Shiba who was surrendered to our Rescue.<br/><br/><br/>The following is the write up that Nikko's owner provided to the rescue:<br/><br/>"Nikko was rescued on January 13th, 2025 from Homeward Bound in South Jersey. He is an amazing, smart dog. Nikko likes his toys especially the ones that squeak loud.. lol… He Loves belly rubs and enjoys being outdoors. Nikko is house trained and never had an accident in the house. He has a great routine. He eats twice a day, morning and dinner. Of course he loves his treats. He goes for 4 walks a day as we live in an over 55 development and cannot have a fenced yard. His bedtime is pretty much whatever your bedtime is. He goes to doggie daycare twice weekly to give him stimulation with other people . My Husband and I are recently retired and wanting to travel therefore looking for a good home with a fenced in yard"<br/><br/>From what I was told, Nikko may be selective with some dogs. <br/>We are assessing Nikko so we can determine what home will be best suited for his needs. We don't know how Nikko is with cats. We suggest children should be at least 12 years of age,<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Nikko please go to www.shibarescuenj.org and fill <br/>an Adoption Application.
