In the heart of a Shiba Inu beats the spirit of a warrior, the curiosity of an explorer, and the loyalty of a lifelong companion. I'm Susie, a 27 pound, 5 year old, Shiba Inu ready to find my forever home! I have lived most of my life outside, so I am not quite used to being an indoor dog. Thus, I am working on house, crate and leash training. I have to admit while I am making progress, but I really don't like the crate. I enjoy warm spots for snoozing and human attention. I get along with dogs and older children (I might knock little ones over). While my heart still yearns for the great outdoors, I've learned to appreciate the comfort of indoor living without the constant pacing that marked my early days inside. I'm most comfortable beneath the open sky, but don't be fooled—I can sit still for hours if you're showering me with affection. With my chunky physique and a coat as thick as can be, I adore the attention that comes with a good brushing. Sunbathing is my guilty pleasure, and having a four-legged friend to frolic around the yard would be delightful. I will need a home with a secure fenced yard and because I love being outside so much, a dog door would be perfect. Unfazed by the antics of deer and squirrels, I believe I would be equally indifferent to cats. Ready for a lifetime of adventures and endless pets? Let's make memories together!
