Sovereign is a 5 year old, female, black and tan Shiba Inu. Follow her Facebook album.

Hi everyone, my name is now Sovereign. I am a tiny Black and Tan Shiba Inu rescued from an Arkansas breeding facility with 8 other Shiba Inus. My name is a Fourth of July/Freedom theme name! I am a small and dainty female Shiba who is estimated to be 5 years old. My foster mom noticed I have crooked teeth and may need some extra dental work. I am a shy and gentle Shiba Inu. I am the last one to come up to my foster mom, but when I see all the other dogs go to her, I will eventually come up to be loved on and get pets with the other dogs. When I first arrived at Shiba HQ, I tried to make myself tinier than I already am so that no one would see me and nothing bad would happen. I cowered in a corner behind other Shibas. Eventually, I got a bath with another black and tan Shiba, and I just froze until the years of dirt was washed off and my painfully long nails were trimmed. My foster mom noticed I was the only one who didn’t have any accidents in the house. I always hate being in a crate. I would put myself away in the corner bed to sleep. I didn’t eat for a few days, too. But if my foster mom leaves my food out I take little nibbles when no one is watching. I graduated to being free-range in the house by my second night! I haven’t learned the doggie door yet but I am not destructive. I am learning to trust people and get along with everyone including the resident cat who sometimes sleeps in bed with me! I hope that I will get a forever home when all my medical is done. Could it be you?
