My name is Mango, and I’m named after the city of Mango in Florida, the state that I was rescued from. I’m a 6-month-old red female Shiba Inu. I came from a breeder in Florida who became ill and was unable to keep us. Their son contacted the Shiba Inu Rescue of Florida, and they contacted DC SIR to help take in 10 of us.
I made it to Shiba Headquarters and was so happy to meet all the other rescue dogs. My foster family picked me up, along with my new foster brother Juno. We had a long ride, which made me a little stressed. I just laid down and eventually fell asleep. When I got home, it felt so great to run around. I have lots of energy! I LOVE toys! I love playing fetch outside. I love tug toys and anything I can chew when I’m inside. I’m very protective of anything I’m enjoying. If Juno is near me, I snap and grab him on the snout to tell him to stay away. I’m told this isn’t very nice, so I’m getting better. Now I can only play with my toys if I’m in a different area by myself or I’m being supervised.
When I’m relaxing in the house, I love being pet. I love attention and will ask for it by licking you to death. I’ve also learned to go up and down the stairs, which was scary at first. Now I’m a pro. At night, I sleep in my crate. Treat-stuffed toys, bully sticks, and turkey tendons are the best to keep me busy when I’m in there. Then I relax and fall asleep. When it’s time to wake up and get out of my crate, I jump and cry, but I’m learning to be calm before I get out. I’m excited because I know I’m about to go for a walk. But walks are on my terms. I like to go where I want to go and will not move if I don’t approve the direction we are going. I’m getting a little better though, and I’ve been going further on the walks, exploring new things. I love to smell everything on my path. I think my path in life is going to be bright. Will you help make that happen?
