Zeus's Story

Hi, Im Zeus and Im looking for my forever home. Foster dad says I always look like Im trying to remember what I walked into the room for. (Geez, thanks!) But Im a loveable goofball - the kind of guy who is always happy to be included. I am 5 y.o. and weight 33 lbs and am being fostered in Columbus, OH. My life hasnt been easy. I came to SIRA from a shelter with severe skin issues and missing fur. But after lots of TLC, Im healthy and happy now. I love people. I get so excited to meet new friends that I sometimes bark while theyre petting me. I dont want them to stop - I just have a lot of feelings! Give me time, a few treats, and some scratches, and youll be my best friend. If you have a snack, Im happy to share. You can put hats on me, sunglasses, shirts - I dont care! Im just excited to be together. And behind my goofy face, Im actually pretty clever. Puzzle toys, snuffle mats, and games that make me think are my favorite ways to stay busy. If Im bored, Ill figure out how to get into places I shouldnt. I do best with some structure and routine, including consistent potty breaks and crate time when appropriate. Im an easygoing guy. I love being outside, chasing tennis balls, playing tug-of-war, sniffing everything. When Im indoors, I love to watch the neighborhood from the window like its a TV show. Id be happiest as an only dog or with calm, independent dogs that dont mind sharing. I like the dogs in my foster home, but I sometimes feel possessive around food, treats, and attention, so feeding separately and managing high-value items is important. I havent lived with little kids, so I dont know what Id think about them. I should not live with cats or small critters since I like to chase them! Im a healthy boy neutered and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and think you might be my forever person, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn if wed be a good match. Once youre approved, theyll introduce you to my foster dad so we can meet! I hope youre my new best friend!

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.
