Are you looking for a smart puppy that’s good with other dogs, great with little kids, and loves to be cuddled? Well look no further, I am the dog for you!
My foster family calls me Kira. I was born in July 2024, and weigh about 15 pounds. I’m your typical Shiba puppy - energetic, loves toys, loves to run around inside and outside, and will chew on things I’m not supposed to. Unlike some other Shibas, I love to cuddle! Give me all the pets because I need them! I’m crate trained and lounge comfortably in one when the humans leave the house. They don’t trust me to be left out of it alone because I will nibble on things they love - like furniture and electrical cords and pillows. I’m sure I will outgrow that phase as I get older. I’m potty trained but do need to be taken out on a regular schedule since I am still basically a baby.
I’ve learned how to “sit” and “touch.” I love food and would do well with additional training since I’m so food motivated! I can’t wait to find my forever family so I can continue learning and exploring this great big world that I’ve only just discovered!
Kira is being fostered near Chicago, IL

AN APPLICATION AND HOME VISIT MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ADOPTION.
Any one interested in adopting this dog must first complete an adoption application indicating the name of the dog(s) they are interested in learning more about. Once the adoption application is received, our adoption coordinator will contact you. You must respond to this email to set up your home visit and complete the approval process. The entire adoption process is outlined on our web site.
NOTE: Due to the breed's independent and prey driven nature, Shibas should ALWAYS be leashed whenever they are outside of a securely fenced area. In addition, many Shibas are door bolters and care should be taken around doors and other escape points.
