Hello everyone, my name is now Rosie. I am a senior Shiba Inu who has had a very difficult couple of months. You see, my human passed away in our home, and no one knew for some time. I had to survive, not knowing if anyone would ever come for me. Eventually, my owner's body was found, and Animal Control took me in. My extended family tried to keep me for a few days, but I can be a bit snappy with people I don't know. DC SIR knew they would have to take me but couldn't find any foster homes that fit my needs during the holidays. I even got to live in a foster home with the Shelter program, but they didn't think I was a good fit either. Thankfully, a volunteer at DC SIR had space to keep me separated from other resident pets. When the DC SIR Volunteer picked me up I was put into a crate for transport. I don't like crates and let everyone know. When my foster dad picked me up at the transfer location, I snapped and snarled. Luckily, my new foster dad didn't have a crate and allowed me to lean on him and cuddle on his lap on part of the drive. But that's about as much affection as I plan to give him for some time! I wasn't sure about my foster parents, but they have worked with fearful and reactive dogs, so they know how to build and gain my trust. I go in and out to their backyard to potty without issue. I loved all the yummy raw food my foster parents gave me. I also gently took treats from them, but I was still nervous and growled if I thought they might get too close. My foster parents see that I am a sweet girl who needs savvy adopters who will take the time to earn my trust so that I can feel safe to be me. I may not be a bug cuddler, but I can bring happiness to a family that will take the time to give me a loving home. ![]()

#AdoptionAlert2024 Indy is the last of the 9 puppy mill rescues that were going to be put down if no one came through for them. Luckily, we found enough fosters to save all of the dogs that were at risk of euthanasia. Indy was probably the most fearful of the group. Today, Indy got to go home with her mom, human brother, and Shepherd mix brother! We want to thank all the AR fosters and adopters for saving these dogs lives!![]()

Please join us in congratulating Indy on her adoption and welcome her adopters to the DC SIR family!![]()
