About Garland

Garland arrived through a shelter outreach initiative, giving him a second chance after coming from an overcrowded environment. His history is mostly a blank slate, so you’re getting a fresh start with him. At around 8 months old and weighing about 30 pounds, he’s still very much a young dog full of potential. Garland is already neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, which gets some important tasks out of the way. He’s house trained, adding one more reason he’ll settle in quickly. Garland gets along well with other dogs but is not suited for homes with cats. His new family should know that, per policy, puppies under 6 months aren’t adopted out to families with kids under age six, though at 8 months this doesn’t apply to him. He’s a classic example of a young Shiba Inu—spirited, adaptable, and ready to learn what home life can be. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
