Sunny is a 4 year old, female, red Shiba Inu. See her Facebook Album!

Hello everyone, my name is now Sunny. I am a 4-year-old red female Shiba Inu. DC SIR almost rescued me from a southern VA shelter last year. I was abandoned and had my puppies in the woods. People were trying to catch me for some time. DC SIR offered to take my puppies and me in, but the shelter said they had found homes for everyone. I was living with a loving family this past year who gave me all the wonderful comfort of a well-cared-for Shiba! I was just a bit too much energy for their low-key lifestyle and elderly cats. They wanted the best for me and contacted DC SIR. When the volunteer from DC SIR picked me up, I was very friendly and I rode well in the car. When I arrived at Shiba HQ. I met the resident dog Dahlia. We sniffed, and I went on to explore the yard. I soon met the other dogs and nibbled on some lemon grass growing at the backyard’s entry. I followed the volunteer everywhere and would sit on her lap or by her feet while she worked. I also got along with the senior cat and napped next to him. My previous owners said I liked to sleep in a crate, which was provided, but I chose to sleep on the fancy dog bed! I even learned the doggie door right away. My foster parents came to pick me up the next day! I rode well in the car to my foster home. When I arrived, I met the resident dog and DC SIR alum, Shiloh, who had been rescued from a puppy mill. I quickly tried to play with her, but she was still getting to know me. I took my favorite teddy to bed in my crate for a full night’s sleep. I hope you enjoy watching my adventures with DC SIR!
