Adopt a Shiba Inu in California

Shiba Inus are bold, confident, and famously cat-like Japanese spitz dogs. They appear in rescue when their independent streak and prey drive surprise new owners. A rescued Shiba is dignified, clean, and remarkably devoted to its family on its own terms.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
