Rukia is a spunky 2-month-old Shiba Inu girl. Her tan coat glistens in the wintery snow or shines on a sunny day. She suffers from the zoomies on a daily basis but does have her moments of calmness. With this being said, a fenced-in yard will be best so she can have a yard to run around in along with frequent walks. If cuddles are what you’re looking for she can be coaxed into them but her shibaness keeps her aloof at times. She is already on her way to mastering the art of potty training and appears to be crate trained but is still working on it. Leash walking is a work in progress but she is willing to learn. We have mastered the art of sitting. You can expect these 5 pounds of fluff to grow into 15-22 pounds. So far she does well with other dogs and kids. She has not become acquainted with cats yet. She is a bit hyper on car rides but that is normal for a puppy. She is full of confidence and with this comes a great deal of cleverness. A Shiba Inu is a very intelligent breed who will love puzzle toys or games to help work their minds. Sound like your kind of puppuccino? Send us your application to meet this sweet little girl.
