Hi everyone. My name is now Yunomi and I am a 4-year-old, red, female Shiba Inu. I was found at the shelter at least 3 times by my previous owners for running away so much. Finally, my family did not come to claim me at the shelter in PA. It was really crowded so I got to go and stay in a foster home with the shelter for a bit, but I didn’t get along with the resident dog and had to return to the busy shelter. Thankfully, a foster home opened up at DC SIR. My foster mom drove to the shelter to pick me up. I was able to get spayed and have my medical updated before coming to DC SIR. When my foster mom picked me up, I was still groggy from my spay. She traded my uncomfortable cone for a onesie suit that covered by belly so I wouldn’t be so freaked out in my new environment. When I got to my new foster home, there were cats and dogs and other people to play with me. I cried my first two nights anytime my foster mom left me. I was so lucky my foster mom slept on the big comfy couch with me. I snuggled up right at her feet and slept the whole night. My foster mom says I am tiny so she named me Yunomi, which means teacup in Japanese. I met my big foster brother Oji. He is so old and followed me all around the yard the first time to make sure I felt safe. I am a very sweet girl and my foster family just adores me. I think I’ve gone to heaven. I love my raw food and I scarf it down. I’ve never eaten so well. I feel safe there and have never tried to escape despite the shelter saying I came to them 3 different times as a stray. I know I am safe now and get to feel loved. DC SIR says I am in a pending adoption for my foster home but wanted to introduce myself to you all!
