Description
Dog Breed: Shiba Inu (medium coat). Syd is a young, but partially disabled Shiba Inu with a signature attitude and plenty of opinions. Due to a past injury, his hind legs don’t work quite like they should, so he's looking for a very low-key home without lots of stairs or intense activity. No long walks, hikes or jogs for this guy—he prefers lounging like royalty. Syd is housetrained, prefers to be the only dog, and may need a little extra care as he ages. If you’ve got a mellow home and a soft spot for sassy underdogs, Syd might just be your match. **Please submit an application then email rescueadogtodaygmail to inquire about meeting Syd; he does not typically attend adoption events as he is not his best self in that environment**

Overview:
The Shiba Inu, a spirited and ancient breed originating from Japan, is renowned for its fox-like appearance and independent nature. Historically bred for hunting in mountainous regions, they possess a strong, athletic build with a distinctive curly tail and alert, expressive eyes. Their coat is typically short and dense, often displaying striking red, sesame, or black and tan colors, complete with a creamy "urajiro" underside. Temperamentally, Shibas are known for their intelligence, confidence, and sometimes aloof demeanor, yet they form strong bonds with their families. While they can be excellent companions, their strong prey drive and independent streak mean they require consistent training and socialization from a young age. They adapt well to apartment living provided they receive sufficient daily exercise, but a secure yard is always a plus. Generally a healthy breed, they can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, and allergies, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups essential. Their unique personality and striking looks make them a captivating choice for experienced dog owners who appreciate a dog with character.
