Kitsune is a lively, fun-loving Shiba Inu with energy to spare and a heart full of affection. He thrives on activity, engagement, and being part of the action. If you’re looking for a companion who will keep you smiling and moving, Kitsune may be your guy!
❤️ Temperament & Compatibility
Pets: Kitsune gets along with SOME pets but does best with slow, structured introductions and clear boundaries. An adopter experienced with Shiba behavior is strongly preferred.
Children: Any children in the home must be calm, respectful, and dog-savvy, with a solid understanding of proper canine boundaries.
Ideal Home: Kitsune needs a committed adopter who is home often, has a secure yard, and can provide plenty of outdoor adventures and stimulating activities. He’ll shine in an environment with routine, guidance, and lots of enrichment.

Hello and happy new year. I would love to know if Kitsune is still available for adoption? I’m so intrigued by this breed because they remind me of Jindos. I love their look, demeanor and size. I currently have a lab mix who is 4 years old and would enjoy having a buddy to play with.
Hi Gigi, Kitsune has been returned and we will be looking for a new home for him. He did not work out with the dog that was in the home. If you can fill out our application we can have kitsunes trainer talk to you and see if she thinks Kitsune would be a fit with your lab. https://form.jotform.com/210006626391144
Hello,
We recently emailed you regarding the Kitsune adoption. We currently have a soon-to-be 3-year-old Shiba Inu named Shea, who is neutered. We are looking for him to have a playmate. Could you please let us know if Kitsune is still available?
Hi
We replied earlier after your last question but maybe you did not see it. Kitsune was returned from his foster to adopt home because he did not get along with the shiba in the home. We won’t be able to adopt him out to anyone with a dog. I am so sorry about that
I just got divorced after three years , but I fell in love with a shiba that my wife rescued before we got married , and I thought ilthe shiba breed is the perfect fit for me and my thirteen year old daughter. My number is 3529339424. We live in fruitland park just north of leesburg and I would love to come down and visit the tip and go right through
Hi Duane, sending you an email with the link to our application!
Hello! Is Kitsune Neutered?
Hi Dale, Yes he is neutered !
Hello! Im interested, i would like to know if he is okay with cats? I have one cat
Hi Nina Kitsune has never been around a cat and his personality tells us he probably would not be good with a cat or other small animals.
We are interested in Kitsune if still available for adoption. We had previously rescued a Shiba from your organization many years ago. He passed away a few years back. We have no other dogs or pets in the home. We have an 11 year old boy who is great with dogs. My husband and I both work from home and have a fenced in backyard. My mom also lives with us and is retired so usually always at least one person home.
If Kitsune is still available please let me know and what next steps would be.
Thank you
Is Kitsune, still available if she is not how do I get on the list to give one of the beautiful animals a nice home.
Hi James,
Kitsune has never been around a cat and his personality is such that he probably would not do well with cats.

Hi Tom, I am going to email you so please check your spam if you do not see an email from us!
