Tana

Hi! My name is now Tana, and I was one of the two boys of the Missouri 8. I have to tell you, I am such a happy and playful boy, you might not even guess I came from a puppy mill! The first couple of nights in my foster home, I would startle in my sleep. But I would then realize I was still free, sleeping on a comfy couch and not a hard wire crate. But now that I’m settled in, I realized that sleeping in is fantastic!!

When I came to my foster home I realized I hit the jackpot on those things called toys! They were everywhere! Every step I took there was another one, and all different styles. I can chase them, throw them, and chew on them! Only problem is I haven’t quite learned to share yet.

I do love to cuddle and be close to my foster mom and her boyfriend. I will go flop down on them and start snoring! Foster mom says its cute when she hears my Shiba snores. If they aren’t around, I curl up on the couch and go to sleep.
My back leg does bother me a little. But it doesn’t really hurt. My foster mom can touch it and it doesn’t bother me. I can run around the fenced yard without a problem. I can even chase the other Shibas in the yard when they chase each other…foster mom says that is called “playing”. And I still have a little cough. I’m not worried about those things, though. I know that DC SIR will take care of me and make sure I’m healthy. Just in time for me to find my forever home!
