Maizey is a 3 year old, female, black and tan Shiba Inu.  See her Facebook album!

Hello everyone, my name is now “Maizey”, picked by my fans on Facebook. I am a small black and tan female estimated to be around 3 years old. I was at a mill in PA and no longer used for breeding. DC SIR pulled other mill releases from the same mill, and all the other Shibas were very skinny. DC SIR only had a couple days to pick me up or they would have had to wait until after the holidays. They saw how skinny I was and didn’t think I could make it through the cold without the proper nutrition. Thankfully, all the DC SIR fans came together to raise enough money to cover my basic medical expenses, which will likely include dental work. My foster mom took the day off and drove 8 hrs to pick me up from a liaison transport. When she transferred me to the crate, my head was down and my whole body shook with fear. She could feel every bone in my body jutting out from my dry brittle fur. She noticed I smelled horrible and had to drive with the windows cracked. When I arrived at Shiba HQ; I explored the backyard with DC SIR alum and mill release Dahlia. She helped me feel a little safer but I scrambled around looking for somewhere to hide. Soon, I met all the dogs, but I quickly took my bath. I was so scared. I shook and tucked my head into myself. I stayed perfectly still as I got all my long nails trimmed. After I was clean and dry, my foster mom gave me yummy food, and then I got to run outside again! My foster mom cheers me on for being a brave girl, and I trust her to pick me up and carry me around. DC SIR needs to put some weight on me before surgeries. Once I am cleared for adoption, they think I will do great in a loving home!
