# Shiba in RI/MA area needs a home. A couple days ago, a friend of mine called me, and said "I know this may be too soon but, my friends brother needs to re-home his 3 year old shiba inu and I wanted to call you. I figured even if you are not ready, you have a network of folks who may be able to help." Well Jason and I are NOT ready… ## Thread In Rescue / Dogs In Need · started by JessicaRabbit · 31 replies - **Category:** [Rescue / Dogs In Need](https://nihonken.org/community/c/rescue-dogs-in-need) - **Forum:** [Nihon Ken Forum](https://nihonken.org/community/) ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-12-16T12:42:47.000Z A couple days ago, a friend of mine called me, and said "I know this may be too soon but, my friends brother needs to re-home his 3 year old shiba inu and I wanted to call you. I figured even if you are not ready, you have a network of folks who may be able to help." Well Jason and I are NOT ready to add a third dog. We are still devastated over Moto and really want to make sure our girls are 100% okay before we make any shifts in our pack. SO I am reaching out to you guys. His name is Ricky. He is a three year old creamy, who is neutered and up to date on his shots. He gets along very well with other dogs, and is very friendly. His owner (who I do not know personally) is a touring musician and just wants Ricky to have greater consistency in his life. He is a typical shiba, and could use some obedience work. But seriously...how many shibas couldn't? If you are interested whisper me. ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-12-16T12:44:50.000Z Look at that smile on Ricky, I hope someone can help out, or he can get into rescue. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-12-16T12:45:46.000Z he's very cute. they could reach out for a courtesy listing through NYCSR. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-12-16T12:48:42.000Z We may do that next. The owners dad is handling things right now. And he is a little overwhelmed so I am trying to ease him into this. Ideally we would place him before the new year. ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-16T12:56:02.000Z Jessica, Im still asking around to see if we can at least find him a nice foster home... I will let you know. I can also do a transport if needed to another area, the Shiba Mobile is always ready to go! ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-16T22:01:49.000Z Bump for Ricky! ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-17T12:10:43.000Z Another Ricky Bump! Im still asking around. ## sujewel · 2008-12-17T20:34:19.000Z Beautiful pup. Good luck placing him. ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-12-17T20:39:39.000Z Awww I hope he finds a home soon <3 ~ ## ILuvMy2Shibas · 2008-12-18T13:23:13.000Z Aww he is adorable, i wish i could have another one! Good luck on finding him a home! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-12-18T17:45:59.000Z I so wish things were different right now. Adding to our pack is put on hold (for good reasons) but I hate it! There have been so many shiba's I have begged Chad to rescue, which is unfair of me to put him in the position I know he will say no. : ( He is so cute! ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-18T17:51:30.000Z Rachael, If you adopt him I am so driving down to Atlanta with him, Miso and Sake to meet you, Sasha, Niko, LJ, Jazz, Dave and Lucy and Joey! AHHHHHHHHH, That would be SO fun! ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-12-18T18:02:57.000Z That would be fun! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-12-18T18:22:22.000Z LOL Kristin...I so wish! ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-18T18:30:57.000Z Oh please?!?!? I have my whole journey planned (with help of the members map!), I will stop by the Rabbit Pack in RI, Head on to see Nan and Tosca in CT, down to PA to visit with Steph and Toby, Jen Tsuki and Kitsune and Hanzo, Visit Pong Pong, Through VA to see Casey Bella and Nola, and on to Atlanta... ## ILuvMy2Shibas · 2008-12-19T11:45:08.000Z You could stop in Pa to see me as well!!! ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-19T12:50:15.000Z According to the members map you are in China...maybe a typo in the Lattitude and Longditude? :) ## sunyata · 2008-12-19T13:04:51.000Z OOOH! I might just join you on your way to Atlanta if you stop by! :) ## _dlroberts · 2008-12-19T13:15:52.000Z I think the China thing is usually the result of an omitted - before the longitude. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-12-19T13:53:36.000Z Alright you guys, come on down! We have a meetup this Sunday. ## ILuvMy2Shibas · 2008-12-19T14:42:17.000Z haha i don't know how to put my longitude and latitude in haha, but i'm in Pa right outside of harrisburg!!! That would b so fun to meet up! ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-12-19T16:59:17.000Z homeless dog people... homeless dog. ## KFontaine04 · 2008-12-19T19:52:57.000Z Oh I Knoww Jess. I keep asking aroung but no one is "shiba ready" and I want to make sure he goes to a place that is able to handle the shiba 'tude. I will keep putting the word out. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-12-19T19:56:29.000Z just getting people back on track before this thread gets completely off... ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-12-19T20:02:28.000Z I'm seeing double... Probably a stupid question, is he on petfinder yet? ~ ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-12-30T12:13:27.000Z did this dog find a home yet? My sister is actually looking for a either a shiba or a sheltie. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-12-30T12:37:03.000Z I just got a call from my friend saying that Ricky got a home. Unfortunately I was given no more info. Which kind of makes me sad. But all I can hope is that whomever adopted him loves him completely. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-12-30T13:52:27.000Z well, i'm glad he got a home... i hope they love him completely, too! ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-12-30T23:31:12.000Z Yay! :) ~ --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
