Sadie's Story

My name is Sadie and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m a playful, friendly, happy 12 y.o. girl and this is my second time being rescued by SIRA. Many years ago, after I was released from a commercial breeding facility, SIRA placed me in a home where I had a mom who helped me learn to love living in home and how to be a dog. We were happy for a long time, but then mom got sick and could no longer take care of me. So I came back to SIRA and to my foster home in Sussex, WI. I’m a good girl – I get along fine with other dogs and cats and I’m fine with kids too. I enjoy going for short walks and am a good girl in the house – potty trained and not destructive. When my foster family goes out, I am happy to nap until they come back home. When I first got to my foster home, I had some issues that needed addressing. I had a couple of lumps that the vet removed – thankfully they were both benign. I was very overweight! I’ve lost 12 lbs (currently 37 lbs) since then and I feel much better and am able to be more active. I take pain meds for my joints and I have allergies, which are managed with prescription food and some meds for seasonal flare-ups. Otherwise, my needs are pretty simple: my favorite things are nice places to nap, popcorn, a few toys to play with and when my family comes home after being out. I’m not too fond of slippery wood/tile floors, but honestly, that’s my only beef. I’d love a forever family that will help me continue to lose weight and manage my allergies so I can live my best life.

The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can confirm if 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.
