Meet Shiba, a 7-year-old, 39-pound pittie mix with a sweet and steady nature. She has a calm curiosity and a gentle affection that make her a joy to be around. During a recent day trip that included a walk and a home visit, Shiba showed excellent leash manners. She only pulled slightly when eager to greet people, whom she clearly adores, wagging her tail and hoping for pets. She passed other dogs calmly without barking or pulling, and small animals like squirrels didn’t faze her at all. In the home, Shiba was gentle and affectionate, content to follow her human around without getting into trouble. Though she doesn’t know commands yet, she’s highly food motivated and would likely pick up training quickly. Shiba would thrive in a calm home that appreciates her easygoing personality, whether as the solo star or alongside well-matched doggy friends. If you’re looking for a loving, mellow companion to share quiet moments and gentle adventures, Shiba might just be your match!
