Description
Dog Breed: Shiba Inu / Mixed (short coat).
Hi, it’s me—the world’s biggest fan of squeaky toys, cuddles, and ignoring the concept of personal space. If you sit down, just know I’ll be sitting on top of you within seconds, preferably with a toy in my mouth that I’ll squeak right into your ear while declaring my love.
I currently share my life with two other dogs, and together we’ve formed a professional-level tug-of-war team, but I’m also down for a good game of chase outside. Speaking of outside, it’s my happy place—I’ll strut on a leash like I own the block or hang out on a tie-out.
I’m also a kennel pro. I’ll snooze in there no problem, but between us, I’d rather snuggle in bed with you because cuddles > everything. At mealtimes, I like to think of myself as a food enthusiast—okay fine, a food hog—but my foster mom promises me I’ll never have to compete again, so I’m practicing my manners.
Full honesty moment: I’m still working on my potty training, so I’ll need a patient human who can help me learn a good routine. I’m a smart pup and eager to please—I just need a little guidance (and maybe a few treats along the way). My mom puts these stylish belly bands on when I am inside.
Also, I take my neighborhood watch duties very seriously—I like to bark at, well… everything outside. Squirrels, people, leaves… you name it. With some training and reassurance, I can learn when it’s time to sound the alarm and when it’s time to relax. I wear an extra collar sometimes to help me with this, and it makes a silly beeping noise when I bark too much.
Because I’m such an enthusiastic, wiggly guy who loves his toys (and sometimes forgets his size and manners), I’d do best in a home with older kids who can handle my energy and help me keep learning good habits.
I enjoy staring dramatically out the window, plotting how to catch squirrels and rabbits (spoiler: they’re winning). I’ve got some energy after being in my kennel for a while, but once I wear myself out, I turn into a certified cuddle bug.
So—what do you say? Want to adopt a toy-obsessed, cuddle-demanding, slightly chatty, squirrel-watching sidekick who will keep life fun, funny, and full of squeaks?
