NYC Shiba Rescue (NYCSR) is an all volunteer group dedicated to contributing to the quality of life of Shiba Inus in and around the New York City metropolitan area. To that end, NYCSR actively works to rescue Shiba Inus and Shiba Inu mixed breed dogs from dangerous environments and shelters in order to find them loving, permanent homes. We will, among other things, foster and evaluate Shiba Inus in order to prepare them for adoption and seek out proper adoptive homes for the dogs. NYCSR also promotes responsible dog ownership by educating the public in the selection, care and training of dogs.

Our adoption process starts when an adoption application is submitted. (An application can be downloaded from http://nycshibarescue.org/adopting-a-shiba/ ) Applications are reviewed in chronological order based on date received.

​

Depending on the initial review, we check references and conduct a home visit. After the home visit, if we have a dog that the adopter is interested in and we think is a good match, then we set up a time/place for them to meet the dog. Following the meeting, there is a 24 hour waiting period during which all parties decide if the adoption should move forward.

​

An adoption fee and contract are required.
