Description:

This boy is the most lovely, well-mannered senior! Even though he’s 10 years old, Hanzo loves life and still has spunk! He would love to be your walking partner and has been told he doesn’t pull on the leash. He likes the cooler weather because that means it’s not too hot to go along in the car on errands! He does not require a lot of exercise but will “complain” if he’s bored. He makes squeaking, squawking sounds that are hilarious!

Hanzo has seizure disorder but the seizures are mild and few and far between. He has been stable with daily medication which he happily takes in a mini marshmallow!

He loves patrolling his foster owners’ yard for critters and one time squeezed under the gap in the wood fence to chase a chipmunk next door! A sturdy fence is a must for this adventurous and fearless boy!

Being a Shiba Inu, he is not a lap dog but enjoys knowing his person is there. It took a little while for him to start wagging his tail and giving kisses in his foster home. Once he started coming out of his shell, he revealed that he likes playing tug with squeaky toys! He will sometimes bring one to his foster owners to initiate play.

He is good with other dogs but would be fine being alone. Since he’s older, he’s not into rough & tumble play. He says he’s too distinguished for that silliness.

He is perfect in the house and does not need to be crated. He is housetrained and will scratch at the door to go out. He doesn’t chew things, knows to sit for treats, and is not a barker.

His forever home will surely appreciate his sweet disposition and enjoy watching his personality blossom!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
