Shiba Inua Rescue Association: For more information, visit www.savingshibas.com
Shiba Inu Rescue Association (SIRA) is an all volunteer organization dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected and abused Shiba Inu, Shiba mixes and other primitive breeds from commercial breeders, shelters and owners. SIRA evaluates each dog for temperament and places them in nurturing foster homes where their needs, medical and otherwise, are addressed in order to prepare them to be placed in thoroughly screened, loving, lifelong forever homes. SIRA also works to educate the public on the Shiba Inu breed in addition to the importance of responsible pet ownership including spaying/neutering, dog training and obtaining a dog from a reputable breeder or rescue group.
SIRA does not have a shelter. It is comprised of a network of volunteers and all dogs are fostered in homes. Currently the majority of the volunteers are in Chicago, IL and the surrounding suburbs. SIRA also has volunteers in Southern IL, Indianapolis, IN, Madison, WI, Detroit/Toledo, MI, St. Louis, MO, Phoenix, AZ and South FL. SIRA is constantly expanding so if you are interested in volunteering please read the Help The Shibas pages. If you would like to make a donation, volunteer, or adopt, you can contact SIRA at savingshibas.com. Thank you for your support!
