Nyak's Story

My name is Nyak and I’m looking for my forever home. I came to my foster home here in Joliet, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I spent my whole life. I’m a quiet, laid-back guy who doesn’t cause any trouble. My favorite things are treats (mozzarella cheese sticks and liver sausage) and all of the pets and scritches foster mom gives me! I also enjoy watching all of the neighborhood action through the window. I don’t bark, but boy, I would like to chase the birds and squirrels I see. I’m a good boy in the house, even when my foster mom has to leave. I’m potty trained and don’t have accidents unless I don’t get regular potty breaks. I love to go for walks and leave “pee-mail” for the other dogs to read. I get along with the other dogs in my foster home and am always curious, but polite, to dogs we meet on walks. I haven’t met any cats or small pets, so I don’t know what I’d think about them. I did live briefly with a couple of human kids and that was fine with me. I’m 10 years old and I weigh around 27 lbs. I’m neutered and vaccinated and a healthy boy. When I first came into foster care, I had occasional episodes that looked like seizures. I went to see vets and got poked and prodded and tested and everything, but the vets could find nothing wrong. They decided that I should stop receiving monthly flea/tick preventatives, since some dogs are really sensitive to them. That seems to have helped! So the vet says I don’t need any special care or treatment – just something for my forever family to be aware of. My perfect forever family will be very careful to prevent escapes since I’m really fast (vigilant when opening doors and gates). They should be patient with me as I continue to adjust to live in a home with a family. In return, I’ll be a loyal friend and quiet companion. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a handsome guy 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.
