We read up a lot on the breed, knew we would be dedicated to taking care of it, and did a ton of research. We found a shiba rescue group in NY, and submitted our info. We never heard back from them. We almost managed to adopt a shiba from a regular shelter, but was a day or so late and he found another home. I don't know how shelters work / think, but I think it's silly how strict they can be. We obviuosly are good doggy-parents (Shio is pretty darn well cared for)... But don't feel bad. As long as you care for your shibas (which you seem to do just fine of) then you have done your duty as doggy-parent! Who cares what others say?
