Jorghi

3 yr old male Shiba Inu – No kids, Must have a yard

Jorghi spent the first year of his life in a puppy mill, so he is a very fearful dog an has specific requirements to feel safe in a home. He is being rehomed because he has not adapted to the new baby in the home, or not having a yard. 

Jorghi is a sweet, curious, playful boy with lots of energy. Adopters will need patience to earn Jorghi’s trust, by allowing him to go at his own pace. Giving treats, playing fetch, and going for walks helps him to trust humans. Once he’s bonded, he will seek out attention by bopping you with his nose. 

Jorghi gets really nervous when people visit, or there is a lot of activity in the home, but if he has a yard he can retreat to, he is fine. He has done well meeting older children (tween – teenaged) who are calm, and respect his space, but would do best in a child-free home. 

Jorghi loves other dogs, but seems to prefer younger, playful, females his size or larger. He would do best with a “bossy” dog that is can put him in his place when he forgets his manners. He has not been tested with cats.

It will take him a while to feel comfortable in a new environment. But once he is, he is a very curious and happy boy! The best home for Jorghi will be one that is stable, in a quiet neighborhood, with a subdued energy. He needs a consistent routine, including regular walks. He is happiest when playing in the backyard, and going for walks. 

Jorghi is house trained and crate trained. The crate is his safe place, so he will always need one to retreat to. He does not, however, respond well to being otherwise confined. He is food motivated and responds well to training.

Jorghi has been placed in a foster-to-adopt home, carefully selected from our adoption waitlist. He is settling in nicely and loving having a big yard and being the center of his human’s attention. Stay tuned for an adoption announcement.
