We frequently receive questions from single Shiba homes on what life is like with two Shibas. It’s very difficult to answer because every family’s experience is dependent upon the Shibas brought into the home. The only way that we can describe it is to share the way that we experienced it. To the best of…
Time for an Emi update! Even though we’ve already adopted her, she’s still growing in so many ways to adapt both to her new environment and our routines at home. She has officially been ours since December 13th but she came into our home as a foster on October 21st. This is our 3 month…
awwww, thanks for the update!
With 20+ other dogs in her former home, how much personal space could she have had? She lived in a Shiba tenement.
I’m so glad she’s got the home she deserves, and I love love love that picture of her, chin on Shio, looking contentedly at the camera! She’s healthy and happy, you guys are doing a fantastic job.
How absolutely fantastic. Oh I love these adoption success stories, and photos of happy and healthy dogs. It keeps me going. Honestly… thank you!
What wonderful progress!! Agreeing with the others, glad she has found such a lovely family to adopt 
Especially loving how both pups have bonded!
Just finished up our third week with Goo Goo. She’s doing a great job coming out of her shell. Instead of hiding in or under shady places now, she is ready to meet the world with her bad ass Shiba self. I originally thought she would be okay with meeting new people but she’s more…
what a sweet smile!
Lady Goo Goo – nice
I think you guys may have pushed us over the edge in getting a second sheeb 
We’re into week #3 with Goo Goo so I’m behind on our fostering updates. The only thing I want to do lately is lounge around with my Shibas. Overall, fostering has been a great experience. It took us a very long time to take the leap to open up our place to another dog especially with…
Adam and I have absolutely fallen in love with Goo goo. If we had a house, we would ask to be considered for adoption in a HEART BEAT (she’s also only 1 month older than Raiden), but we are in a condo that’s simply not suitable for more than one shiba. Please continue to update – we are really rooting for this little one!
Oh, what a great influence you’ve been on her already! So sweet.
Such a sweet post. My heart ached for her and the changes she went through but I am so happy she is adjusting so well. I am so proud of big brother Shio as well! Can’t wait to see how she grows and becomes part of your family!
how wonderful! this is the joy of fostering a dog like her – watching her blossom in an environment that just lets her be a beloved pet dog.
you guys rock.
“Her tail lifted into a fallen question mark shape” – beautiful description.
And a very touching entry. I’m also impressed by Shio’s patience. What a good boy, obviously raised in a loving family. So nice that you can share the love and pass along what you’ve learned and are learning.
oh my goodness, what a great story. When Goo Goo is settled in, she has to meet Pita. I bet they will all get along great!
My bet is on you adopting goo goo indefinitely
We’re cheering Goo Goo on! 
If you decide to adopt her, she can be the missing black shiba in Our Shibal Inu!
Too cool for skool, Shio~
Really helpful advice. We’ve recently brought our first adult foster dog home after only dealing with puppies before. I was pleased to find that my Honey is also very tender toward ill dogs. But I wasn’t sure how she’d be so we relied heavily on keeping them separate while our foster, Cherie, was recovering from her spaying.
Sounds like you’ve made the transition to a two dog house very smoothly.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now (It’s always nice to read about other Shiba owners!) but I never really appreciated the difference in Emi until today! She looks so skinny and miserable in the first vet photo, and so happy and sleek in our latest photos. You have obviously been wonderful for her.
