A little about them

Carlee is a goofy, sweet, happy 7-year-old Shiba Inu who weighs 27 pounds. After spending her life in a commercial breeding facility, she is learning to enjoy the kindness and comfort of a foster home. She loves running joyful laps in a securely fenced yard and is gradually becoming more comfortable with attention and affection.

Ideal Home

Carlee needs a securely fenced yard and a patient, gentle family. She can live with cats and would enjoy having another friendly dog to help her adjust, though she may also be happy as the only dog. Older, quieter children may be a good fit if they are gentle and patient; small children would likely scare her. Adopters should live in the Midwest.

Ongoing Health

Carlee is healthy, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Carlee is house-trained and is beginning to learn leash walking, but she is not yet ready for leash walks to be her only exercise option. She may be shy or scared at first and will need continued patience and encouragement.

Application Details

  • Start by contacting the provider through Wags to learn more and begin the application process.
  • After approval, Carlee’s foster family can arrange a meet-and-greet.
