Wiz's Story

Wiz is up for adoption here at Shiba Rescue of New Jersey.<br/>Wiz was welcomed into SRNJ on Oct. 31st, 2025.<br/>He was an Owner Surrender to our Rescue. <br/>His current owners took him in 3.5 months ago from his original owners because they moved and couldn't take Wiz with them.<br/>The new owners tried to make things work out in their home but their busy household and the children were not a good fit for Wiz.<br/>Although Wiz lived previously with 4 young children, the 3 year old in the last home was too rough with Wiz and jumped on him on two separate occasions while Wiz was resting in his bed. <br/>The child was constantly agitating Wiz to no fault of his own. <br/>Wiz is an 8 year old Red male Shiba who is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and house broken. He travels great in a car.<br/>Here is what Foster Mom Jody says about Wiz:<br/>Vince and I picked Wiz up from a family in Cherry Hill, three weeks ago. Ever since the moment we accepted him into our home he has been a sweet, loving pup! Wiz will sit with you for hours and give affection the entire time. If you are looking for a dog who takes up space in your heart, Wiz is your guy!<br/>He has also been a perfect “mate” Wiz walks well w/a harness, and “wizzes” ? outside while walking. He has NOT gone to the bathroom in our home a single time. He hasn’t chewed on a single item and was super friendly to our friends/family when we held an EAGLES (win) here! He is also great in the backyard, so he would be BEST with a family in a home with a yard and a fence. But I believe he’d be okay in a condo too! He hasn't tried to run a single time, unusual for a Shiba!<br/>Wiz will sleep anywhere that you desire. He has been sleeping both on our couch (covered w/a blanket) or in his doggie bed in our bedroom. Wiz is easy-peasy in the car, and he has been WONDERFUL when we go out & have left him alone. We did take him to the vet for a dental. *One thing we would suggest is that he be in a family w/either adults or children over 10 years old. He was great w/out eight-year-old granddaughter, but he is a pup who enjoys “peacefulness”. He wasn’t good w/his original owner's “rambunctious” 3-year-old only because the kid used to jump on him. You CAN'T blame a dog if it's trying to protect itself, can you? <br/>Parents NEED to teach their kids how to respect their pets!<br/>He’d be best as an only pup. <br/>Wiz is a healthy and happy 8-year-old “dude”! <br/>If you can open your hearts and home to Wiz, this would be the best gift someone can give him.<br/>This boy has been bounced around and has endured enough.<br/>He so deserves a loving furever home.<br/>Can You Be That Person Wiz is Looking For???<br/>Please go to www.shibarescuenj.org and fill out an Adoption Application.

Wiz was welcomed into SRNJ on Oct. 31st, 2025.
He was an Owner Surrender to our Rescue.
His current owners took him in 3.5 months ago from his original owners because they moved and couldn't take Wiz with them.
The new owners tried to make things work out in their home but their busy household and the children were not a good fit for Wiz.
Although Wiz lived previously with 4 young children, the 3 year old in the last home was too rough with Wiz and jumped on him on two separate occasions while Wiz was resting in his bed.
The child was constantly agitating Wiz to no fault of his own.
Wiz is an 8 year old Red male Shiba who is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and house broken. He travels great in a car.
