Meet Hige!
June 26, 2008
Hige is a happy-go-lucky Shiba boy! He loves everyone he meets and expects them to love and play with him in return. He was picked up by animal control as a stray and it is impossible for us to imagine how anyone could have let him go. He even has signs of having a nearly imbedded collar early in his life. Despite the neglect he suffered he is a sweet boy.
Hige gets very excited when he meets other dogs. All he wants to do is play. He would do best if placed in a home with another friendly and playful dog of any age, size or gender.
Hige is a typical playful adolescent. He likes to run jump and play. He can be a little mouthy when he plays and is a door bolter. He would do best if placed in a home with children over the age of 12.
Like most adolescent Shibas, Hige has energy to spare. His forever family will need to have a securely fenced yard for him to run around in. Otherwise his family will need to commit to taking him on big walks.
Hige has had some basic obedience training but he still pulls on the leash when he is excited. We are working on this but his forever family must commit to taking him to positive based obedience classes, not only for his leash manners but to help with the bonding process as well.
Hige will make an excellent jogging buddy, lure courser, obedience/agility dog, and just overall companion. He is eager to please and is very affectionate and endearing!
This boy is such a joy to have around! He adapts very easily to new situations and just wants to be loved and played with. He will be a great addition to someone's family!
