Foxie Girl

My name is Foxie Girl and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 7 y.o. and weigh 32 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I worked hard making puppies. I’m a shy girl, especially around humans I don’t know well. You see, where I came from, humans were scary and not very kind and gentle. But here in my foster home, things are different! My foster mom and dad are so nice to me and patient. They tell me how pretty I am and what a good girl I am! They are helping me to adjust to this new way of life and I’m starting to relax and let my personality come out. I love to explore the fenced yard here in my foster home. There are other dogs here and that helps me feel safe. I’m learning how to play with them. I’m good with the other dogs here and even with the resident cats. I haven’t been tempted to chase them at all. I’m even starting to learn how to walk on a leash! Foster mom says I’m doing really well, but I am not quite ready for adventures in the neighborhood. Sudden movements and loud noises will spook me. My perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard where I can explore and play. I’ll need a resident dog to help show me the ropes and help me to adjust. Cats are fine too, but no small kids please (they would scare me too much). I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. The vet who listened to my heart said that I have a grade 2 heart murmur. He said that I don’t need any treatment since it isn’t causing any problems. If you live in the Midwest and want a pretty, sweet, shy girl like me to share your home, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA get to know you and your home environment so they can tell if we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
