Inla is a gentle and shy girl. Poor girl has been through a tough life. However, it doesn’t stop her from loving and trusting humans. Inly is shy with new people at first. She will need a little time in her new home to show her sweet side. Inla is doing well in her foster home and ready for her forever home. Inla started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. She is crate trained and doing well on her house training. She rides well in the car and can wait patiently while her foster mom runs errands. We are looking for a committed and loving home for Inla.

Ina’s Rescue Story

Inla was rescued from a poorly run private shelter. The shelter has over 2,000 dogs living in cramped and wet environment. Inla along with her other friends were used as breeding dogs. After they were done with her, poor Inla was sent to a private shelter where she lived in a cage and never let out. A kind international rescue organization got a rescue message from a volunteer. The founder has over 160 dogs waiting for homes and didn’t have space for another dog. However, when she saw photos of the dogs suffering. She knew it was urgent to rescue them. The rescue took home 19 dogs and promised to find them forever loving homes.

Inla had a thorough medical checkup. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on her blood tests. Please give Inla a loving forever home.

The Shiba Inu is a small to medium sized dog breed known for its fox like appearance, with a curled tail and upright ears. Originating from Japan, Shiba Inus are independent, alert, and spirited dogs. They are loyal to their families but can be reserved around strangers. Recognized for their bold and confident nature, Shiba Inus require consistent training and socialization to thrive. With a thick double coat and a distinct red, sesame, or black and tan coloration, Shiba Inus are charming companions for active individuals or families.
