My story

HIGHLIGHT:- May require another confident dog already established in the homeMeet Shields, a 6-year-old Shiba Inu weighing 27.5 pounds. This handsome boy is still very timid and unsure around people, but he`s taking baby steps toward feeling safe in his new environment. With a little patience, a gentle routine, and lots of love, Shields has the potential to slowly come out of his shell.He gets along with other dogs and may benefit greatly from having a confident canine friend in the home. Another dog can help him feel more secure and model the way toward trust and comfort with humans.Shields is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can decompress and take the time he needs to adjust. Though he’s shy now, he’s quietly observing and learning, and with the right support system, he’ll continue to grow more confident every day.Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with time and a gentle approach, most of these dogs adapt quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is incredibly rewarding. To learn more about our dogs and start the adoption process, please visit our website.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Shields, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
