Hello! My name is Buster. I’m five years old and weigh 20 pounds. Foster mom put these sunglasses on me because she said I have a bright future ahead of me! I’m ready for it!
I love my foster mom! I bark when she gets home, wag my tail super fast and wonder why she’s taking so long to let me out of my crate! Then I run around showing her how glad I am she’s home. I like to bark when I run. I just get so excited! So I wouldn’t do the best in a home with shared walls.
I also love zooming around my fenced in yard and really hope my next home has one too. I’m learning how to walk on a leash but do need some more practice. My family should double leash me because I try to back out of my harness/collar occasionally.
I cannot live with cats as I try to hunt them! I currently live with a dog and it’s going okay. I don’t like when he comes near my crate, my food, or even the humans when they’re cooking. So I’d prefer to live without another pet in the house. If I do have a canine sibling my owners need to commit to training to help stop my resource guarding.
I’ve gone from a scared dog to one who actively seeks out affection, especially ear rubs, from my foster mom. I can’t wait to continue living the good life with my forever family!
• Currently being fostered near Sterling Heights, MI •

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.
