DESCRIPTION
My name is Foxy and I’m looking for my forever home. I used to have a home and special person, but she got very sick and had to move to a care facility. I was so scared, but SIRA brought me to my foster home here near St. Louis and promised me that it would be okay. I’m 10 y.o.- a gentle, easy-going, mellow girl with a playful side. I’m good in the house when my foster family is away. I don’t need to be crated and I don’t get into any trouble or have accidents. I get very excited when foster mom comes home and will give her my very best smile and wiggle-butt dance. I get the zoomies and love to play chase. I will grab a toy – or steal one of foster mom’s socks – and take it to my bed. I don’t chew the socks, but I do like to lick them. I also love pets and belly scratches. I’m learning new things here, like how to walk on a leash. My foster home doesn’t have a fenced yard, so I’ve had lots of practice. Wearing a harness and being attached to a human when I potty was weird at first. Sometimes I get spooked by a truck or a noise and it will take me a while to go potty. But foster mom says I’m doing great. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. There aren’t other dogs in my foster home, but I like seeing other dogs outside. There are cats here and I like them. Some like me and some are scared. If they run, I will chase – but only because I only want to play. I haven’t met any small kids so far here, but I’m a very gentle girl, so foster mom thinks I’d probably be okay with kids. I love routine and schedules – I will stare at the fridge if I don’t get my cheese cube after going potty. I’m shy at first, but once I know you, I’ll be a loving and loyal friend. It would be great if my foster home had a fenced yard, but it’s not required. All I need is a special human to love, a soft place to snooze, and a regular supply of cheese cubes! If you live in the Midwest and are interested in me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom, so we can meet!
