Meet Kitsu (Kit) If you've ever dreamed of sharing your life with a little fox, you'll need to meet Kit, a 5 year old male Shiba Inu who comes in at only 16 lbs. Kit spent the first part of his life with a commercial breeder, so the world is still full of new experiences for him. Because of his past, he will need a patient, understanding family that will let him learn at his own pace. A big perk would be joining a home with a confident and kind resident dog. Kit is also an excellent copy cat! Trust doesn't happen overnight, but every small step he takes is a huge victory, and what better way to keep learning than from another furry pal. Kit is a gentle soul with the cutest fox-like face and a heart that's ready to discover what it means to be loved. He may be shy at first, but with kindness, consistency, and lots of encouragement, he will continue to blossom into the dog he’s meant to be. Kit is kid approved, but because he’s a bit skittish yet, it’s probably best to not have wild toddlers in the home to scare him. Kit is already crate trained and potty trained. Kit is still unsure about car rides but has recently learned to enjoy neighborhood walks on a leash. He will need continued basic dog training and time to build extra confidence in these areas but these tricks all come in time. We can tell Kit is a smart boy who is ready to continue enjoying this newfound freedom. He will require a secure fully fenced in yard.  If you're ready to open your heart and home to a truly rewarding experience, apply for Kit! He is neutered, fully vetted and vaccinated, had a dental cleaning with teeth pulled, and is on heartworm prevention. His adoption donation is $400.
