Description
Dog Breed: Shiba Inu (short coat). Cutie-pie Millie is looking for her forever home. Millie is a 4 year old Shiba Inu, and she weighs just under 20 pounds. Millie is a sweet and friendly girl. After spending her whole life in a home, she is very scared in the kennel environment. However, she finds comfort spending time with our volunteers and we hope to find her a new home quickly. Millie doesn’t mind being held and she really enjoys curling up on the couch next to you. Millie is housebroken and knows some commands. She would be a wonderful companion for just about anyone. Millie is microchipped, up to date on vaccines and will be spayed upon adoption. If you’d like to meet this precious girl, please fill out an application on our website at Rescueridge. If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will reach out to you to schedule a meet. Millie is located in Monmouth County, NJ

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.
