Indy

Hi everyone, my name is now Indy, short for Independence, which my foster parents picked for my Fourth of July name! I was rescued with 8 other Shiba Inus from an AR breeding facility. I am a 5-yr-old B & T Shiba I & was lactating when I got to DC SIR. The facility said I didn’t have puppies so maybe it is a false pregnancy. I was one of the more fearful Shibas that arrived at Shiba HQ. I always ran to hide behind the other Shibas when I was outside. The DC SIR volunteers noticed I kept gravitating to one of the female Shibas, Summer, so they decided to keep me with her since one of the foster homes could take two of us. I was very good in my bath and nail trim, but I will scramble away unless you approach me slowly for body handling. Since arriving in my foster home, I prefer to tuck myself into a corner or under a blanket to feel secure. When I am outside, I pace the perimeter, looking for ways to escape, or I try digging under the fence. I am feeling more secure now, and I am less focused on escaping. I am learning to be more confident through Summer's example. While I am not required to be adopted with Summer, DC SIR thinks I would benefit from living with another friendly and confident dog. I will need to be spayed and have dental work done before I am available for adoption. However, if you think I am a good fit for your family, you can apply to adopt me, and we can have a meet and greet before my surgery. I also have an Amazon Wish List for items to help me transition to my life of Freedom!
