Red is a sweet, older adult, Shiba Inu who was rescued from a Puppy Mill about a month ago. When we rescued Red, it was the first time in his whole he had ever touched the ground outside of a cage, or had any kind human contact. Because Red is a Mill Survivor, he will need a family who is incredibly patient with him, and we would like him to go to a home with another dog, so he can learn how to be a dog and have the guidance of another social dog. Red has become his foster Momma's little shadow. He follows her around everywhere he goes, and he is just taking in all life has to offer. He is very smart and tought himself how to go up and down the stairs pretty quickly, which most mill dogs have a very hard time with. He is learning how to sit and stay, but really he just wants to be right next to his foster Momma. He spooks easily as most noises are new for him, so as he learns and gets used to things in life, he will get less nervous. Right now he sleeps on the floor next to his foster Momma and seems to really like it. He has started to accept treats from his foster Momma, which is another huge step for a mill dog! Red is even already learning to play with toys, and seems to really enjoy them! At first he would just look at them and walk away, and now he gets excited about them. Red is still unsure about his harness and walks, but we know with the incredible strides he is already making in such a short amount of time, that he is absolutely capable of learning to love daily walks, too. Red enjoys an easy going, laid back environment, and he really enjoys laying in his crate, which his foster Momma always leaves open. We see the potential in Red after just a few weeks, which we cannot put into words how incredible that is for a mill dog who has spent his whole life in a cage being terrified. We are unsure of Reds exact age, but we are guessing he is between 8-10 years old. He does have some cataracts and struggles with his sight a little. He will need somoene who is willing to be patient as he learns the house and helps him navigate at first. He absolutely can see, just not as well as he should be able to.
