Shiba Scout Rescue is a newly developing non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to the rescue, training and rehoming of Shiba Inus and Shiba Inu mixes.  We do not have a shelter or facility that can be visited by the public.  Rather, all of our dogs are taken care of in Foster Homes.  We are primarily located in Northern Colorado, however we do have Foster Homes throughout the Denver metro area.  We have received our rescue license under PACFA (Pet Animal Care Facilities Act) and are listed as a non-profit through the Colorado Secretary of State, however we do not yet have our 501(c)3 tax deductable status through the IRS.  We are also affiliated with All Breed Rescue Network.

Shiba Scout Rescue would like to dedicate the organization and its efforts to

Domicinda Hill and her Shiba, Kaya

Her love of the breed opened the eyes and hearts of many.

"If you want a dog who loves you unconditionally, who never has a bad day, who always has a smile on his face, and lives to please you...get a lab, golden retriever, boxer, etc.

If you want a dog with fire in his heart, spirit in his soul, a twinkle in his eye and a mind that will keep you on your toes...get a Shiba!"

"Owning a Shiba Inu is an adventure in itself."--annonymous

LOST SHIBA INU!!!

Shiba Scout Rescue was contacted in regards to a Shiba Inu that escaped from its home in Laramie, Wyoming.  The Shiba is a pure bred, Red, spayed female that got out on May 29th.  Her name is Sheba and is approximately 5 years old.  She is was wearing a blue collar with the owner's information on the tag.  If you find a Shiba that meets this description please contact s so that we may get her home!

What We Do

Shiba Scout Rescue takes in Shiba Inus from animal shelters statewide, as well as from people who can no longer keep their beloved friend.  This way we relieve the shelter load and we are able to commit to the individualized attention of the breed and to each dog that comes through our doors. While awaiting adoption, our Shibas are accessed with men, women, children, other dogs, cats, and public situations such as going to the dog park or into a retail petstore. This way we know exactly what to look for when finding the right permanent home for each dog.

Every dog adopted out receives:

• Spay or neuter surgery
• Deworming
  
• Preliminary vaccinations
• Microchip registered in the rescue's name
• Professional training course on dogs under the age of 7 years (type and amount of training may vary per dog)
• Dental cleaning on dogs 7 years of age or older if needed
  

All potential owners must agree to at least one home-visit prior to adoption and agrees to complete all training recommended for the Shiba Inu that is adopted from the rescue.

Bottom: Our main foster home has a 1/2 acre fenced back yard that also contains within it two large fenced in dog runs each with their own insulated dog house.  Dog runs can be used to isolate dogs that are either fearful or aggressive with other dogs while we are still working with their socialization skills.  Our dogs are usually kept outside during the day, weather permitting, and come into the house in the evening.

Although they look like cute little baby foxes, Shiba Inus are not meant for everyone.  One should always fully research any breed before making such a life long commitment.

Daichi is the very handsome 2 year old Red Shiba Inu that was adopted in the summer of 2008 after being surrendered to Boulder Humane Society.  Shiba Inus are known for looking like a fox based on this popular rustic red coloring.  There are 4 main Shiba Inu colors: Red, Sesame (red coloring with black tipped hairs evenly throughout the body), Black and Tan, and Cream.
