Hi there, I’m Nezuko! I’m a 5-year-old female Shiba Inu looking for my forever home. I can be a little shy when we first meet, and men make me pretty nervous, so I need a patient family who will let me warm up at my own pace. Once I know I’m safe with you, my true personality shines through—I am super affectionate, intensely smart, and absolutely full of love!
Here is what you need to know about me:
Pet-Friendly: I get along great with both dog and cat siblings! Having another friendly pet around is a wonderful bonus for me.
Smart & Affectionate: I’m a clever girl who picks up on things quickly. When I trust you, I am a total cuddle bug who loves to be close to my favorite people.
Walk Enthusiast: Getting out for regular walks is so fun! It builds my confidence, keeps my smart brain engaged, and gives me a great outlet to explore the world.
Escape Artist (Secure Setup Needed): True to my breed, I am a total escape artist. I need a securely fenced yard, attentive handlers, and strict door-safety boundaries so I don't go on unsupervised adventures.
Adult or Calmer Home Preferred: Because I am fearful of men and sensitive to quick movements or loud noises, I need a calm home environment. I may or may not do well with young children, so a home without little kids (or with calm, older kids who understand dog boundaries) is best for me.
If you have a gentle, patient heart, a secure home setup, and a love for daily walks, I’m ready to give you all the love in the world!
CURRENTLY BEING FOSTERED NEAR CHICAGO
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.
