Nori's Story

My name is Nori and Im looking for my forever home. Im a young girl, just 1 y.o. and I weigh about 20 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Lansing, MI, after being found alone and skinny. When nobody came to claim me, SIRA said theyd make sure that I found a family who would treasure me and keep me safe. Im still a bit shy and getting used to life in my foster home, but it feels so much better to be safe and comfortable and loved and have plenty of good food to eat. Im a good girl and will tolerate brushing and nail trims. I can be shy and spook easily when I hear unexpected or new noises, but Im also showing my foster mom how resilient I am. When something scares me, Im learning that I can go to her for comfort. The more I relax and feel safe, the more my playful and sassy Shiba personality emerges. I love to cuddle and play and if you scratch just the right spot behind my ears or on my bum, youll be my best friend for life! I love going for walks, digging holes in the yard, and playing chase and wrestling with the other dogs here in my foster home - even the big dogs! Im good with other dogs and even with cats. Im pretty submissive but Im also not afraid to initiate interactions. My foster mom thinks Id do best in a quieter home that isnt too chaotic. Id be fine as an only dog, or with another friendly dog or two who like to play and cuddle. Im a healthy girl spayed and vaccinated. I tested positive for Lyme Disease, but I dont show any symptoms and my blood work looks good, so the vets say no treatment is needed. Im still a bit underweight from my time as a stray, and Im not super food motivated, but with consistent good nutrition, Ill have a gleaming coat in no time. If you live in the Midwest and want to be my forever family, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved adopter with SIRA. The application process will help SIRA make sure well be a good match. Once approved, theyll 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.
