Rumor's Story

My name is Rumor and Im looking for my forever home. Im 3 12 years old and I weigh 20 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Chicago from a breeding facility where I was born. Im still getting used to living in a home, so I can be skittish and shy, especially with people I dont know or around sudden movements or noises. But as I relax, my silly side is coming out and Ive started to chase my tail and to hoard toys in my crate. Ive learned the routine here pretty quickly. I am potty trained and stay in my crate when foster mom leaves the house. I like eating meals in my crate too. I let foster mom pet me now that I trust her. There are other dogs here in my foster home and they have helped me to feel safe, like when were out walking in the neighborhood. Busy streets and loud cars scare me, but walking close to the other dogs helps. Im very interested in chasing squirrels, so foster mom thinks that Im probably not a good match for cats or small pets unless they are dog-savvy. My perfect forever home will understand shy/fearful dogs and have at least one other friendly dog to help me continue to adjust. Im not a good match for little kids. Im a healthy girl spayed and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a sweet, shy, pretty girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn about you and your home environment so they can make sure well be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will 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.
