Hi! My official name is Daniel but my foster mom calls me Turbo because I’m so fast! I’m a Shiba Inu and somewhere between 1-2 years old. I’m a sweet boy who has never growled or snarled at my mom or sister, even though I’m very nervous. I came from this place called a puppy mill and I wouldn't recommend going to one of those, even if you were my worst enemy. It wass really scary there, and I had no positive human interactions. Because of that, I'm pretty skittish. I need a compassionate and patient human or family to take me in. I love my foster sister (a pittie) a lot. She’s taught me how to play and it’s so much fun! I love stuffed toys, especially ones with squeakers in them! I look up my foster sister a lot and follow her lead. I need to have another pet in the home, preferably a female dog, but I'm open to meeting male dogs too. My people at CYP will give preference to someone with a fenced in yard that I can't escape from (like a fence with wide gaps). I'm small enough to get through an XL crate, which only opens 5" at most. Speaking of crates, I don't love them. When I was in the puppy mill, I was shoved in a crate with a handful of other dogs for over a year. I didn't even get to go outside. Now, my foster mom takes me out all day long! In my new home, I'd prefer to have a room to myself when my humans are away. My foster mom did try crating me at first, but I ran away as best I could. The times she was able to get me into my crate, I shut down and wasn't myself after she returned home to let me out. Like I said, I need a patient and caring person to take care of me. Unlike others from my breed, I really enjoy food. My foster mom made me a frozen kong with banana and peanut butter that I really loved. I also like plain crackers, unseasoned cooked hamburger meat, cheese, turkey lunch meat, and some fruit. I mostly eat dog food, but my foster mom sometimes gives me the really good stuff to try and get me to bond with her...haha sucker! Because of my time in the puppy mill, I need to have another dog in my home in order to feel safe and comfortable. I would probably do best in a home with older kids, as I think they’d be able to best respect my bouandries. I’m also potty trained! If you’re looking for a handsome boy to tire out your resident dog, I’m your guy! I have lots of energy since I'm still pretty young, but I tire out pretty quickly. Could you be my forever family?! I sure hope so! Can’t wait to meet you!!! (ps: bring treats 😉) show less
