Veterinarian here. If you can tell what company made the microchip they may be able to tell you what hospital they sold that chip to. The hospital should be able to run a search on the chip number and find the owner.

It always breaks my heart when I see a Shiba taken in. I adore the breed, but I'm all too conscious about how peculiar they can be. They're definitely a lot more wild than most other dogs, with high prey drive and a never back down attitude in many of them. They bond very closely to their chosen people, and they don't fair as well being rehomed as many other breeds. I hope they find his owner.

I adopted a Sheba Inu that had been returned to the shelter three times because he was so traumatized and strong willed. He’s an amazing dog and the highlight of the neighborhood. Everyone loves him and he is gentle with every person and animal that comes by. He does require three-five mile walks a day but I’ve turned it all into walking meditation. Please adopt, even the hard ones.

Btw, my Shiba had a skin condition when there was an overall life change in our family (divorce, selling of house sadly). Stressed her out big time. With vet care, change of diet, topical treatments, and lots of love her skin returned to normal. Shibas are very intuitive and sensitive!

I just sent a large Amazon order to the shelter containing big and small toys (both plushie and chewy) as well as blankets. But it won't arrive until the 28th. All animals need comfort and some fun while in an unknown and potentially scary place (even though this facility looks fantastic). Since I can't sit and play with them like Rocky does (thank you Rocky!) I wanted to do what I could for them to help them while they are there.

Thanks! In memory of me dear friend, Donna and all her wonderful canine friends, especially her Shiba Inu, Kai, who preceded her to the next life by just a few weeks. He was, I'm sure, waiting for her when she transitioned.

How incredible that he exposed his injury. Like he was thinking "yes! I'm a good boy, so please take care of me!" I think he was a little scared when you left because he was so vulnerable. What a sensitive little soul.

Our Shiba made me a lifelong lover of them! I would LOVE to have another one. Such smart and adorable dogs. We had ours for about 14 years, she was just amazing. She would insist on smelling every flower that was her level, she absolutely LOVED children and while we were on our daily walks she would cry if I didn't let her kiss every child we saw. The first time she saw snow she figured out how to make snowballs! She hated water and would alert every dog in the neighborhood when I gave her baths. One of her favorite games was when we hid something and then let her smell a piece of it and she would go find it. For instance, I could hide one of the kids' socks and she would find its mate. So much personality in a small dog, I loved her ever so much.

Poor boy. He was so distressed when you left him. Hope he gets better and adopted soon.

[heatherfisher]

He has a family somewhere. He got out. He looks healthy other than the sore. He shakes, takes treats, and is affectionate. What a sweetheart. He will get all fixed up. ❤️

We had adopted a tricolored shiba from our local shelter when our children were young and had her for 15 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge..we loved her, our 3 boys adored her, she would guard me whenever I napped. She was 8 months old when we got her. She was food aggressive with other dogs and a typical shiba that picked her dog friends very carefully..she loved to perch atop our patio table on our lanai and the top of our couch like a cat crossing her paws to watch birds and squirrels.I miss my 'Toostie'. This red shiba boy is beautiful.

Shibas are so intelligent and they know exactly how to get food from you. When I adopted mine we were told she would be shy and was given a handful of treats as a peace offering, well as soon as she got into the visiting room she ate the treat I was offering and then came up and ate the rest off my lap in the most comfortable way possible. That's when I knew I was adopting her.
She's been a menace in my life ever since (in a loving way), she's going on 17 in the spring

Rocky.... Has the shelter an Amazon wish list? They can add whatever need and we can purchase them from overseas rather than send via mail. They will receive it quicker from your international dogpack. ❤ Nottingham GB

The way he reacted immediately when you first said "You're a good boy!" tells me he was familiar with that phrase. He's had a loving family somewhere along the line. I'm hoping his familiar is desperately looking for him.

[shemensch]

Since watching your program I started telling my 2 dogs they are good girls, pretty girls, I massage the top of their heads saying how sweet you are, your a very good dog. I adopted my dogs, and my last dog she is a beagle she is 4 yrs. now, but when we found her she was only 3 months old, she was walking down a wooded area on a damp cool early morning. We stopped and picked her up. She is our spoiled baby girl. Who loves to eat anything she finds outside and in the house. You don't dare to drop anything to the floor she will get it and eat it.

Shiba's are their own species, I swear. I adopted one who had been returned to the breeder and whose second home didn't work out either. They have a very feral side to them but they are wonderful dogs. NOT the dog for a first timer, but if you have patience and love, what a treat! My boy lived to be about fifteen. Never had a dog like him before or since..Those eyes..those soft soft ears, that clean Shiba smell, the tik tok tail, I'm in love with this little tan man from Japan!
A word of caution..NEVER let them off lead. They do not come back, ever and they will mock you from a great distance. This guy got off lead or out of the yard and here he is.

Please give an update on the beautiful Shiba Inu!

[robertshrewsbury]

Considering he has a painful wound, his being willing to connect and be friendly is exemplary.

[katz]

When he started crying in pain, that just tore me up. I know everyone there will take great care of him. You can just tell he’s a good boy. He’s in that much pain and still is so gentle with you.
