Feeling the weight of the world on those adorable little paws? Meet Twitch! This charming 5-year-old Shiba Inu has recently faced a heart-wrenching transition after losing the only home he's ever known. Just imagine, five whole years with his family, and then—BAM! He’s in a shelter because of some behavioral challenges and a bite incident at home. 💔 But don't worry, this loyal, affectionate boy is looking for a new chance to shine. Now, Shiba Inus are known for their independence and incredible intelligence, and Twitch is no exception! He’s got a heart full of potential and just needs the right guidance and structure. With the right family, he could be the delightful companion you never knew you needed! 🐾 Here's what we know about Twitch: he’s neutered and fully vaccinated, and he’s also on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He’s friendly with familiar faces and, although a bit aloof with strangers, with patience, he can warm up to you! When it comes to other dogs, he’s a little unsure—sometimes friendly, sometimes fearful—so proper introductions are key. And NO CATS! 🐈 Twitch thrives in a calm, structured home environment without kiddos running about. His ideal adopter will be someone dog-savvy, patient, and willing to collaborate with our team—and maybe even a trainer—to help him flourish. He’s ready for a hero who will help him decompress and relearn how to trust the world around him. 🌍✨ But, a brief note: because of his behavioral history, he’s best suited for a home with no children. Twitch deserves a loving family that understands him; he really just wants to be a good boy. Are you that special someone?
