Pixie's Story

My name is Pixie and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 2 years old and a happy, smart, playful girl. I’m very proper and elegant – just imagine Audrey Hepburn as a Shiba. I came to my foster home here in Monroe, WI, after being on my own for five weeks. That was scary! Some nice people kept an eye out for me but I was too scared to come near them. So they called a wonderful lady who is an expert at recovering skittish dogs like me. She never gave up and eventually she trapped me. What a relief! It feels so good to be safe and out of the rain and cold and thunderstorms. You see, I am kind of a princess - made to be loved and pampered and to play, not to fight for survival. I’m a happy goofy girl. I love to roll in the grass and I make silly grunts when I play. I’m very curious and have to thoroughly sniff and examine every inch of my new surroundings. I’m a good girl and smart too! I’ve never had an accident in the house and I learned quickly how to ring the “potty bells” to let my foster family know I need to go out. I’ve learned how to go for walks on a leash too. There are other dogs here and I get along well with all of them. We love to run and play together and I’m always respectful of their boundaries and when they need to take a break. My favorite thing to do is to lie in the sun in the fenced back yard. I haven’t met any cats or other small pets. I don’t live with any small children, but I’ve met some and let them pet me through the baby gate. My perfect forever family will have a securely fenced yard where I can play and nap and maybe another nice dog to be my friend. Oh, and they should have treats… lots of treats! I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated and I weigh just under 20 lbs. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a perfect little girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can tell if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. I’d love that!

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.
