kudsu

&#239&#187&#191 Please read up on his breed before considering adopting.  This cutie is a four-year-old Shiba Inu.  He was a breeder release when Needy Paws received him last year.  He is small even for a shiba at 19 lbs.   He is leashed trained and housebroke but is used to a doggie door.    He needs to be an only dog as he can be a bully.  He’s okay in a neutral environment for the most part with other dogs but becomes a resource guarder in a home environment.  He needs a secure fenced in yard as he is a flight risk and likes to lay in the sun out in the yard.  He is good with humans and is not a resource guarded with his toys or food with humans.   He loves to play fetch with his toys and loves squeaky toys, although he might tear them up. He does love attention and likes to lay next to you or in your lap.   He is pretty quiet in a home environment and would make a sweet affectionate companion.  Complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Kudsu’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
