Tsuki is a 3 year old female sesame Shiba Inu. Follow her Facebook album.
Hello everyone! My name is now Tsuki, and it means Moon in Japanese. I am named for the upcoming eclipse on April 8, 2024. I am an approximately 3-year-old female, Shiba Inu, who was picked up as a stray in southern VA. I waited in the shelter until DC SIR found a foster home for me. I was able to go to a temporary foster home while at the shelter, but I didn’t do well with the resident cats, so I had to go back to the shelter. While there, I stayed in a kennel with several other dogs. I am a tiny Shiba Inu at just 18lbs. I may not do well with cats, but I have done really well with other dogs. DC SIR and the shelter had a few volunteers transport me to Shiba HQ. I sat in the front seat without a collar or harness because I was much smaller than the volunteer expected, so my harness was too big. I am a perfect pawsenger. When I arrived at Shiba HQ, it was pouring rain, so I had my dog introductions inside. I did great with everyone immediately. I even ignored the resident cat, but he grew up with Shibas and didn’t act scared of me. I ate a yummy raw meal and took treats from my foster mom. When I went outside to potty in the fenced backyard, my run instincts kicked in. Usually, I would get a bath before heading to my new foster home, but the volunteer at DC SIR couldn’t catch me for an hour, so my new foster pawrents will be tasked with the bath! Obviously, I am a runner since I was found as a stray. I should have been on a long leash! When I was brought back into the house, I chose to take a nap on the couch. I was obviously an indoor Shiba at one time. I am fully vetted, spayed, and ready for adoption after my 2-week assessment. I am learning leash manners with my foster family. DC SIR thinks I will be a very popular Shiba! You can apply to adopt me soon!
