Hi there, I’m Inosuke! I’m a sensitive 2-year-old Shiba Inu boy looking for a quiet home near the Twin Cities, MN where I can truly feel safe and flourish. I might be a little timid when we first meet, but once I get to know you, my sweet personality shines through.
Here is what my dream home looks like:
A Confident Doggy Sibling Required: I do best when I have a friendly, confident dog brother or sister to show me the ropes. Watching another dog navigate the world helps me feel secure and builds my courage!
Quiet Home & Shiba Experience: Fast-moving, noisy households overwhelm me. I’m looking for a calm, low-traffic home with adults who understand primitive breeds and know how to read subtle dog body language.
Daily Walks: Exploring the neighborhood on leash is one of my absolute favorite activities! Daily walks are my favorite way to stretch my legs, take in all the sniffs, and bond with my human.
Escape Artist (Secure Yard Needed): Like a true Shiba, I am a sneaky master escape artist! My new family will need a securely fenced yard and must be diligent about door safety and double-leashing on our walks.
No Cats: I have a strong natural prey drive, so a cat-free home is a must for everyone’s safety.
If you have a quiet home, a confident dog, experience with Shibas, and a little patience to let a shy guy blossom at his own pace, I'd love to meet you!
CURRENTLY BEING FOSTERED NEAR MINNEAPOLIS
NOTE: Due to the breed's independent and prey driven nature, Shiba Inus 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.
