Shiba Inu puppies and dogs in St Louis Park, Minnesota

My name is Auburn and I’m looking for my forever home! I am 6 years old and I am being fostered near Minneapolis, MN. I’m looking for a quiet, calm home – preferably one with a securely fenced yard where I can run. I love to run! I came to SIRA from a commercial breeding facility and I’m still getting used to living in a home with humans. There are so many strange noises and things to experience. I’m still a bit skittish, shy and cautious, but as I get to know you, I’ll want to follow you around to see what you’re doing and be near you. I love affection and once I trust you, I’ll ask you to scritch my head and pet me because it feels so good! I’m an early riser and I wake up ready to go! I love to run around in the fenced yard, and I’ve learned how to walk on a leash too. Quiet streets and trails are my favorite - I get scared of traffic, noises and unfamiliar humans or dogs. I’m a smart cookie and learn new routines and schedules quickly. I’m pretty much totally house-trained, but I’ll need to be watched around rugs and carpets. I’m not fond of being confined in a crate. I’m a sweet girl – foster mom says I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body. I love chewing on things, so it will be good to have appropriate chew toys for me. I get along well with the resident dogs in my foster home. I’m okay with kids and with cats, though little kids might scare me if they make sudden movements or loud noises. I haven’t shown any prey-drive that lots of Shibas have. I like watching the swans in the backyard, but I have never barked at them or tried to chase them. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated and I weigh 18 pounds. Sometimes my eyes water and make tear stains on my face, but the vet says that this is no cause for concern. If you live in the Midwest and would love to have a quiet, sweet friend to be your shadow, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can make sure that we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $400 plus taxPlease read the full bio! We want to find the perfect match for Jennie! Jennie came from a puppy mill environment where she was not provided much chance at socialization or care. While she has come a long way she will do best in a home with some knowledge of this type of background and trauma these dogs have. While Jennie may never become a cuddle bug or lap dog she shows great potential for growth and improvement with the right kind of love and attention.  Potential adopters should be willing to invest time in building a strong bond with Jennie. A gradual introduction to new experiences and people, along with positive reinforcement.  An ideal home for Jennie would look like: *Having a confident dog in her new home would be a great benefit to her as she can learn from them to trust the humans around her.  *A person who is home more often than not with a low to moderate activity and noise level in the home and a consistent routine. *Jennie would not do well in a home with small children. Older teens and adults only. **   *Jennie will somestime bark at the neighbors kids through the chain link fence.  She does not bark at any noises through the solid fences though. We are working on fixing this. She doesn't bark in any other situations, just at that one chain link fence.   *Jennie loves small stuffed animals, plastic based toys, chewing on sticks, and ice cubes. She does not play fetch yet.   * She's making great progress with her socialization: • she goes up and sniffs strangers hands and accepts treats with no problem.  • She lets 5 people pet her now, 2 who don't live in the house.  • Still amazing with dogs of *all* sizes. • DEMANDS pets from her two favorite people. • Will sit on the couch with you, if there's a dog bed on it, for about an hour. • will not sleep in someone's bed.  • is an absolute joy to wake up and come home to. She's so excited to see you & wants pets for several minutes.

Frankie LOVES people and will make an amazing best friend. He really likes to play fetch with a tennis ball, toy, stick, or whatever someone wants to throw for him. Frankie also enjoys splashing around at the lake. He grew up with lots of children so he's very used to kids too. He's doing great walking on leash with a harness but also does well offleash on acreage. Frankie is 11 months old and weighs 32 pounds. He would love a fenced yard for playtime and someone home a lot to spend time with him. Frankie is doing well at housetraining. He even thinks he's a lap dog.

I’m a bit more timid yet still friendly.  You see, lots of commotion is for those younger dogs.  I’m like your grandma.  I’ll watch and remember when I used to… I am crate trained (my friends say that’s like staying close to home) and potty training is close so long as you remember to keep me on schedule.  But I will need a fenced yard because I don’t like doing my business much in public.  Sometimes I will go for a walk but not all the time.  Just every so often.  I need to work on that a little bit more.  Also, I am fur-endly with dogs and cats.  And I only speak up (bark) when I’m alarmed.  I’d also like to have another dog in my home so I can gossip.  You see, I am just like your grandma – sweet and easy going. *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders.  Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared.    *Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption.  This will be at the adopters expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue.      *Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a   particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit.  Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.      Hello there, wonderful people! My name is Cuddles, and I'm here to steal your hearts with my gentle spirit and adorable Eskimo charm. I may be a senior gal, but let me tell you, age is just a number! I've still got plenty of love to give and cuddles to share. While I'm still learning to trust people completely, I'm a super sweet and laid-back girl who just wants to find a loving forever family to call my own. I'm not much of a playful pup—I prefer to spend my days lounging in a cozy dog bed, soaking up the sun, and eagerly awaiting treat time. Speaking of treats, I'm on a bit of a diet, so I only indulge in the diet-friendly variety. But hey, a girl's gotta watch her figure, right? Potty training is still a work in progress for me, but I'm getting the hang of it with a little patience and encouragement. On the bright side, I'm already crate and leash trained, so I've got that going for me! I get along great with other dogs and I require another doggie companion in my new home. Having a furry friend by my side helps me feel safe and secure, especially as I continue to get on a routine. Now, here's the most important question: are you ready to open your heart and home to a precious angel like me? I may be a girl of few words, but my heart is overflowing with love, and I'm ready to share it with you. With your patience, unconditional love, and promise never to give up on me, I know we can build a beautiful bond together. So what do you say? Let's embark on this journey together and make wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I can't wait to meet you and begin our life together! With all my love, Cuddles *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders.  Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared.
