About Kit

Meet Kit, also known as Kitsu, a charming 5-year-old Shiba Inu weighing 16 lbs. Kit has a gentle nature and an adorable fox-like face, and he’s ready to open his heart to a patient and understanding family. Having spent part of his life with a commercial breeder, the world feels new and a little daunting for him. He thrives in the company of confident dogs, which helps him feel secure and learn at his own pace. Although he may be shy initially, Kit is eager to blossom with encouragement and consistency. He’s had great success with crate training and is fully house trained. Recently, he has been working on free roaming in his foster home and enjoying leash walks, showing his readiness for more independence. It is important for Kit to have a fully fenced yard as Shibas can be escape artists. If you’re ready to add a loyal companion to your life who is just waiting for a chance to shine, consider welcoming Kit into your home. He is neutered, fully vetted, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoption could be the beginning of a wonderful journey together. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
