About Kitsu

Meet Kitsu, affectionately known as Kit. This 5-year-old male Shiba Inu weighs in at just 16 lbs and possesses a charming, fox-like appearance. Kit's previous life with a commercial breeder left him with lots of new experiences to explore. He thrives with a patient, understanding family willing to let him progress at his own pace. A home with a confident canine companion would be the ideal setup, as he learns best by watching others. At first, Kit may be a bit shy, but with gentle encouragement, he’s on the path to blossoming into the loving dog he’s meant to be. This gentle soul is kid-approved but best suited for a home without overly energetic toddlers, as he can be skittish. Currently crate trained and mostly potty trained, he's recently learned to scratch at the door when he needs to go outside. Though he gets nervous during car rides and requires some leash training, Kit is intelligent and eager to adapt to his new life. For his safety, a secure, fully fenced yard is a must. If you're open to a truly rewarding experience, Kitsu is ready to open his heart to you. He's neutered, fully vetted, vaccinated, and even had some dental work done. His adoption fee is $400. Together, you can embark on this journey of love and patience. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
