Making new best friends since 2012.
Bring home a new family member.
We did it!
Wow! We are absolutely amazed by the outpouring of support for the six incoming mill rescue Shibas! Late last night (2/3/25), we officially reached our fundraising goal—just in time for their arrival early this morning! Because of YOU, we can now focus on helping these pups start their new lives.
For many of these Shibas, today marks their very first bath. Each pup spends about an hour in the shower, washing away years of neglect, trimming overgrown nails, and removing urine stained fur and parasites. It’s a grueling but critical first step toward a fresh start, allowing us to check for any medical concerns. Our incredible foster mom has been up since 3 AM prepping grooming stations and holding pens to ensure each pup gets the care they desperately need.
Check out the poster to see every donor who made this possible! Every single contribution—big or small—helped us reach this goal, and we are beyond grateful. Some of you even donated twice to make this happen! You’ve changed these dogs' lives forever.
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Bluesky for behind-the-scenes updates, including pictures & videos of their journey today! Each platform will have unique content, so don’t miss out!
Now, we need your help again—NAME OUR NEW SHIBAS! We love themed names, so drop your ideas below. The only rule? No repeats! Check out our full list of previously used names here: www.dcsir.org/adopted.
