Description
Dog Breed: Shiba Inu (medium coat). Nikki is an incredibly sweet, sensitive girl who truly blossoms once she starts to feel comfortable. As trust builds, her playful side comes outâand she enjoys cuddling too (in her own way). She forms strong bonds and loves being close to her people.Despite being 10 years old, Nikki is very high energy and would thrive with an active, experienced family. She needs plenty of daily exerciseâthink jogging or 2+ mile walks at least three times a dayâand sheâs still ready for more afterward! A securely fenced yard would be ideal, with special attention to the base and gates, as Nikki is curious and athletic.Inside the home, Nikki wants to be part of everything. She seeks attention (and will politely paw or âtalkâ to youâhusky-styleâto let you know!) and does not enjoy being left alone. She tends to follow her people from room to room and is always on the move. When settling, she prefers cozy, tucked-away spots like behind a couch or under a desk, where she feels safe and secure.Nikki is gentle and thoughtfulâshe takes treats very delicately and, after a little encouragement at first, has begun eating meals well. She responds to her name indoors and generally ignores other dogs, making her more focused on people than on canine distractions.Nikki is looking for a home that understands her energy, her need for companionship, and her desire to stay engaged with the world around her. In return, she offers affection, loyalty, and a lively presence that will keep you smiling and moving.If youâre searching for an active, devoted companion and have the time and space to meet her needs, Nikki could be an amazing match.

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.
