Shiba Inu Rescue - Foster Home Network


Hi Everyone,

Just a warning, I've joined the Shiba Inu Rescue and will be looking for Foster Homes for some of our rescues!! Meet my little girl, Tia!

The Shiba Inu breed has begun to show up at rescues and the SPCA's recently. I am very sorry to say, this unique breed has also joined ranks in our Pennsylvania Puppy Mills. This lovely little dog gets you at first sight, it is cute, furry and delightfully put together.

It is such a shame, when buying puppy mill dogs, the prospective buyers never get an opportunity to see the parents, get an education by a breeder, and have an chance to learn if this cute little ball of fur will fit into your household, often not for they have some very unique traits - not everyone can live with.

I am looking to set up network for Foster Homes for Shiba Inu’s, I am working with a New Jersey rescue who is doing everything it can. Anyone who would be interested please contact me. If you are unfamiliar with the Shiba please visit National Shiba Club of America’s website: http://www.shibas.org/ and read the articles About the Shiba – An Introduction to the Shiba Inu, Part I & Part II. If you still want be a foster home for one of these delightful dogs, Call Me QUICK, before you change your mind!!

Thanks,
Karen

Hello! I'm just reading this entry now.. did you begin a foster network for Shiba Inus?

I am in between moving to our home, I have three shiba inus, and possibly within a year or so we could open our home as a foster for a shiba inu?

Thanks! Enjoy the day!

Hi Jen,

Yes, I am actively working with the shiba inu rescue groups to create a foster network. I currently am fostering a delightful shiba male in my home.

I look forward to hearing more from you as you get your home organized. Hugs to your shibas!!
