DCSIR rescued Gus (formerly Yoshi) last year, and he found his forever home on Nov. 8, 2012. To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Gus’ adoption, his parents provided an update: It’a hard to believe that we got Gus (formerly Yoshi) a year ago today. He has truly become apart of our family and it’s amazing how far he has come. He used to be scared of everything–now it’s just most things. He’s still got that Shiba independent streak, but…

Koji found his forever home in April 2013. How has he been adjusting to his new life with his sisfur, Lady Goldenpaw? His pawrents filled us in! “Koji is doing great! He’s totally decided that we belong to him. He shakes and wiggles when we get home from work and likes to snuggle. This is a big step because he didn’t really like to be touched on his tail/legs or picked up. Now, he jumps up beside us or waits…
Hi everyone! I’m a 3 year old male Shiba Inu. My name is now Hiroki! It means “joy of wealth” in Japanese. I just came to DCSIR from a kill shelter in NC.
