Ronin's Story

Courtesy Listing: Meet Ronin <br/><br/>This dog is not in the care of Shiba Saviors. We are assisting his family by accepting applications and helping them find the right forever home. Any adoption decisions will be made through Ronins owners.<br/><br/>Meet Ronin<br/><br/>Ronin is an 11.5-year-old senior male Shiba Inu looking for a quiet retirement home where he can enjoy his golden years. Dont let his age fool you. While hes slowed down a bit, he still enjoys walks, playtime, and learning new things, especially if treats are involved.<br/><br/>Like many Shibas, Ronin is independent and appreciates having his own space. He isnt a velcro dog or constant cuddler, but he loves being near his people. Whether youre working from home or relaxing on the couch, hell happily settle nearby to keep you company.<br/><br/>One of Ronins biggest strengths is how food motivated he is. He enjoys training, knows several basic commands, walks nicely on leash, and has excellent house manners.<br/><br/>About Ronin<br/><br/> Male Shiba Inu<br/> 11.5 years old<br/> Approximately 40 pounds<br/> House trained<br/> Leash trained<br/> Knows basic commands<br/> Very food motivated<br/> Enjoys walks and occasional playtime<br/> Loves being close to his people<br/>Health<br/><br/>Ronin is overall in good health for his age.<br/><br/>Receives Cytopoint as needed for seasonal allergies.<br/>Has a few benign fatty lipomas that have been examined by his veterinarian.<br/>Moves a little slower due to age and an old leg injury but still enjoys daily life.<br/>Currently eating a weight-management diet.<br/>Experiences some anxiety during veterinary visits and nail trims, so his family uses medication and low-stress grooming to keep him comfortable.<br/>The Home Hes Looking For<br/><br/>Ronin has classic Shiba traits. Hes intelligent, loyal, and independent. He can be aloof with new people at first but warms up and enjoys human companionship.<br/><br/>He does have a prey drive and has shown resource guarding around food and occasionally toys with other dogs. He currently lives successfully with another dog, but because of these behaviors, his family believes he would be happiest as the only pet.<br/><br/>As his owners prepare to welcome their first baby, they have made the heartbreaking decision that they wont be able to safely manage Ronins needs while caring for a young child. This decision comes from love and careful planning, not a lack of commitment to him.<br/><br/>Ronins Ideal Home<br/><br/> Adult-only home<br/><br/> No other pets preferred<br/><br/> No small children<br/><br/> Securely fenced yard is a plus, though he also walks well on leash.<br/><br/>Ronin deserves a family that appreciates the unique personality that makes Shibas so special and is looking for a loyal companion to share quiet evenings and adventures together.<br/><br/>Interested in Ronin?<br/><br/>Although Ronin remains with his family, Shiba Saviors is accepting applications on his behalf and will help coordinate with his owners to find the best possible match. Please apply on our website at https://shibasaviors.org/adopt and specify Ronin in the application.
