Hello everyone, my name is now Pansa, and it means, ‘Panther’ in Japanese. I am a small 4-year-old, black and tan, female, Shiba Inu. I am bonded to my sister, Kuro and will need to be adopted with her. We lived with a family and other Shiba Inus in NC, but when my family was getting a divorce, they took us to the shelter. Thankfully, the shelter knew we’d do best in a breed specific rescue and contacted DC SIR! We even got to stay at a volunteer’s house instead of the shelter while we waited for transport. We got along great with a house full of dogs and cats! Thanks to a network of wonderful volunteers we were able to get a ride to Shiba HQ in just days.
When I got to Shiba HQ I got to explore the yard with my sister, Kuro and another rescue who came on transport with us, Reo. Soon we got to meet all the Shibas at Shiba HQ and it went wonderfully! Not one growl from anyone. I quickly bonded to my foster mom and sought her out for comfort. I pawed at her to pet me nonstop because I needed the reassurance. My sister is bolder and explored while I pawed for pets. Since it was late at night when we arrived, our foster mom stayed with us on the couch to settle us for the night. Kuro and I cuddled with each other for comfort and fell asleep to soft classical music. We slept great in the main room with the other dogs and in the morning we were happy to see our foster mom. We went outside for potty and I stayed close to my foster mom, reminding her to pet me. I’m draped across her lap now while she tells you our story. My sister an I also had a bath and got our really long nails trimmed. We were pawfect angels. I’m more timid compared to my sister and prefer to stay near someone I trust. I need a lot of petting and reassurance to feel confident.
DC SIR thinks I will be a perfect addition to a loving family. My sister and I still need to be spayed so please consider making a donation to our fund and watch for our availability!
