Yuki
7 yr old female Shiba –
Yuki is being rehomed by the only family she’s ever known. With a toddler and increased travel demands, they feel they can no longer give her the attention and exercise she deserves. We are looking for a foster, or foster-to-adopt home for Yuki, so that we can bring her into rescue.
Yuki is currently living with a 2 year old child who does not respect her space. Although Yuki has tolerated this, and never shown aggression towards the child, she is clearly anxious around him. She would prefer a home with no kids, or kids that understand how to interact properly with dogs.
Like most Shibas, she is hit or miss with other dogs, but seems to prefer larger dogs. Yuki is a resource guarder, and will guard food, toys and favorite spaces. The transition into rescue will be anxiety inducing, and therefore exacerbate her guarding. Her family has tried to rehome her twice, and both time it didn’t work out becuase there were other dogs in the home. Given this, a home with no other dogs would be best. Applicants with dogs must have the ability to separate, have experience with guarding, and their current dogs should not be guarders. Yuki has not been tested with cats.
Yuki is a very people-friendly, sociable Shiba. She is playful and loves walks and hikes, but has not gotten enough of that recently and has put on weight. She will need active humans who will help her shed those extra pounds with exercise and a diet that includes some fresh food.
Yuki is house trained and loves her crate. She is one of those Shibas that will not poop on leash, so she needs a home with a yard where she can do her business in private.
If you are interested in fostering, or fostering-to-adopt Yuki, please complete a foster or adoption application. If you are already on our waitlist, or have questions, please reach out to us by email: adopt@coshibarescue.org, or call/text 720-491-1278.
Yuki’s adoption fee will be $175 and includes her spay, vaccinations, heartworm test/initial prevention, and microchip.
