I was taken to the shelter by my "other" people to be put to sleep along with my 4 puppies. We were all saved and brought here. My puppies are finding great new homes and I will stay here and be the token "big" dog. I am loving and gentle and really want to stay here. I am now spayed so there will be no more puppies for me either.

I am the Alpha dog and keep the peace here as dogs come and go. I am a gentle leader and take special care of the old, abused and frightened dogs. Soon all are happy, healthy and ready for their new homes.

I was abandoned by my "other" people when they moved and did not choose to take me along. I was caught and turned into the shelter by a nice lady in the neighborhood when she figured out my people were not coming back. I was saved from the shelter and brought home here where I now have many brothers and sisters to play with. I play with all that come here and am the "welcoming" committee.

I am the "clown" of the group though I am also "second in command". I love to play and make sure all new arrivals know their place is behind me. My mom says I am "a very UN Shiba like Shiba" in many ways, whatever that means.
