About Miso

Miso is a lively Shiba Inu pup who thrives on playtime and adventure. At just 9 months old, she’s already crate trained and potty trained, which are great foundations for her future. This energetic girl loves her outings at the dog park and is known to do well in the car. While she can be a wonderful companion, Miso is better suited for an adult home where she can receive the focused training and socialization she needs. She has a playful spirit but tends to be mouthy and could nibble on hands or items. For this reason, homes with young children might not be the best fit. Miso occasionally guards her food bowls, so her current caregivers are working with her to improve this behavior. She interacts well with other dogs but may overwhelm younger or older ones with her energy. If you're experienced with the breed and open to helping Miso with some behavior modifications, you’ll find her to be a rewarding and loving project. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
