The purposes of Shiba Inu Rescue of Texas, Inc. are:

• To rescue dogs, primarily those of the Shiba Inu breed; to assess them and place them in foster homes where their immediate needs can be met; to address all medical and training needs to the best of the Corporation's ability so that the dogs are adoptable; to place them into suitable permanent homes.

• To advance and encourage the control of animal population through birth control, the Corporation will ensure that all dogs of age and adequate health are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

• To educate the public regarding responsible pet ownership.

• To prevent animal cruelty by education potential adopters of the general needs of and specific breed characteristics of the rescued dogs and by matching the rescued dog with the best potential adopter available.

All interested parties must fill out an adoption application. It is reviewed and passed along to the foster home for evaluation. A home check is required prior to meeting the dog. Then the dog goes out on a 1 week trial adoption, contract and fee are sign and given prior to this. Once the trial adoption is over and it is decidedly a good fit adoption is finalized.
