He is a very well behaved boy. He loves everyone! He’s great with people and even tiny kids. He loves other dogs, from big and rough to small and timid. He’s not absolutely horrible with cats, but we’d prefer to adopt him out to a dog and human only home. He’s a very quiet dog. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him bark, but he does have a cute little whine that comes out periodically either when one of our big dogs is being too rough or if he sees a little kid and wants to be petted! He’s amazing on a leash and loves to go for walks! And while many dogs will jump and pull if they see another dog, he barely notices and keeps on walking! He’s so good! And he has perfect manners, never jumping up on people or being rude. And he loves to sleep either at your feet in bed or on the floor at the end of the bed, not one of those dogs that needs to be drooling on your pillow! He has cute little quirks too, like when you scratch right above his tail, he does the cutest little butt dance. And sometimes if you cry like a dog, he’ll get all worked up and start crying back!!

Sushi the Shiba Inu

All I gotta say is WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! I mean I know pictures put on an extra 15 pounds but gesus. Pongy isn’t even that fat. Hopefully whoever adopts her will keep her weight under control and give her a good life :)

Ping Pong . Here’s the description the animal shelter provided:

Ping Pong is a 6 year old red male Shiba Inu. He is neutered and current on vaccinations. Ping Pong’s owner is moving and not able to take Ping Pong. He is in urgent need of a home and will make a great companion. Ping Pong does well with some dogs and cats. A female dog would be more compatible most likely. He wants to display his dominance with other dogs and once established he is mild mannered. He does play with other dogs. He also does well with children and respectful teenagers. He is also usually fine with strangers. He makes a good pet for young and older owners. He is very loyal and enjoys sitting next to you. He likes to stay by your side. He does not jump or bark and he is very clean. He does not slobber or make a mess when eating and he never begs. He is a very nice dog. Ping Pong knows sit, up, lay down, and give paw. He is fine in the house when alone and he does not chew anything. Ping Pong enjoys daily walks. Shiba Inu’s must be walked on leash at all times since they are not reliable off leash. Dogs are pack animals and prefer to live inside with their family members. Please email Dmhtravel@aol.com if you can provide a loving and appropriate home. Home visit and vet references required. Loving homes only who are looking for a companion.

I checked out the Animal Rescue and Referral Inc. of Richboro, PA and found out they’ve also dubbed him as a Jindo. He definitely looks more like a Jindo than Shiba, especially with the loyal characteristics.

I notice also another shiba they have:

Rocky is an un-neutered male Shiba Inu; he is current on shots; 12+lbs; 2 years old; housetrained; crate trained but can have the run of the house for a short time. He is good with dogs and older kids; he hasn’t been exposed to small kids or cats. He walks well on the leash. Very lovable with people. He should be fed away from other pets or he will be aggressive towards another if they will approach his food bowl. He is cute, playful and enjoys walks. Rocky’s owner is giving him up because she is soon to be a single mom and would have too much to handle.

Here’s the number to the shelter if anyone’s interested: 215-322-9251

Jindos are typically not good for first dog owners. When people think about dogs, they think cute, lovable and cuddly. Like shibas, they do not appreciate getting hold, hugged, or even any hint of cuddling. They like to show their appreciation by not leaving revenge poop all over your furniture. I think that kinda love.. is priceless!

Dixie the Shiba Inu

This is Dixie! She is currently residing in a PA Shelter. Here is the excerpt from PetFinder:

Dixie is an adult female Shiba Inu found as a stray in early June. Dixie is a lively little girl and just so adorable! She is a bit nervous to be picked up so will do best in a home with older children. She loves to play and romp and go for walks. You just have to come meet little Dixie!
