Yama is a 4 year old male cream Shiba Inu. Follow his Facebook Album.
Hello everyone, my name is Yama because my foster family let me pick my own name! It means mountain in Japanese, and I love it! I was rescued from a PA puppy mill with 2 other female Shibas. I am a young cream male Shiba Inu. DC SIR wasn’t told why I was released to rescue. It is unusual for a young male to be released. When I arrived at Shiba HQ, I was happy to sniff everything in the yard. I got along with all the dogs at Shiba HQ, and I am such a sweet and gentle boy. I was a good boy while getting my nails trimmed and bath. I could only stay at Shiba HQ one night because there are 3 other unspayed Shibas, and our spay/neuters couldn’t be scheduled until February. But that night at Shiba HQ, I had a seizure. DCSIR figured that is why the Mill released a young male. DC SIR has a nutritional protocol to help with seizures, so we hope I get better before my first vet appointment. The next day I left for my foster home, where I live with an older DC SIR alum Shiba. She has so many toys for me to play with. I tried one out, and it made a loud squeak sound! It scared me at first since I never played with anything like that before. It was so fun that I pulled out ALL the toys. My foster family walked me around my new neighborhood, and I wanted to smell everything. I was so excited to go on a walk that I wanted to run, but I learned I needed to slow down for my foster fursister. I’m getting better at walking. I sleep in an xpen at night because they want to keep me safe if I have a seizure. My fursister sleeps in the same room as me, & I get sad when she leaves. I’ll bark for her to come back. I hope to be healthy & adopted soon so, please watch my story!
Considerations: Having Seizures. Monthly medicine costs: $37.99 Will have updates on prognosis after all vet appointments.
