Inari is settling into shelter life after being found during an encampment cleanup. New places and unfamiliar people can seem like a lot, but there's something really special about her. The second she starts getting pets, she relaxes into them completely.

She's gentle taking treats, calm in the yard, and slowly starting to seek out connection with people she knows. Inari would love a patient adopter who will let her move at her own pace and give her time to feel safe.

Around other dogs, Inari mostly keeps to herself. 6 years old and 62 pounds, she'd do well in a home with an appropriately matched dog, or as a solo dog with friends.

Inari just landed in a foster home and we can't wait to find out more! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
