A little about them

Tina is a tiny, goofy Shiba Inu with a big personality and a loving heart. After a difficult start in a commercial breeding facility, she learned to trust her patient foster family and now enjoys affection, toys, and showing off her playful side.

Ideal Home

Tina needs an adults-only home and would likely do best as the only dog. She has lived peacefully with cats, but can come on too strongly with other dogs. A securely fenced yard would give her room to run, and her family should take care around open doors because Shibas can be escape artists.

Ongoing Health

Tina is spayed, vaccinated, and weighs 14 pounds.

Training & Support

Tina is potty trained and entertains herself with toys while her foster family is away. She especially enjoys removing squeakers. She is still learning leash walks and has practiced in the yard.
