Freya here and thanks to a foster home saying they'd help, I have a comfy couch to crash on. Here's the thing though, there are many other shibas who need help but SIRA needs foster homes to be able to say YES!

Foster homes get to know their dogs and learn the characteristics of a good adoption match. We have many dogs available for fostering or adopting (When you adopt you open up a foster home).

Foster homes can choose to adopt their dog or help confirm a good match with an approved adopter. Visit www.savingshibas.com/foster to learn more and to apply. You must live in the Midwest.

Please help if you can. I'm here now because there was a foster family who took me in and showed me love and helped me. So many dogs deserve the same chance that I got. Thank you!!
