Hiro

Meet Hiro! He is a 15-week-old purebred Shiba Inu with a calm, sweet personality. He absolutely loves being petted and held, but like a cat, he also enjoys his own space—striking the perfect balance between affectionate and independent.

Unfortunately, due to an unexpected increase in my work schedule, I can no longer give Hiro the time and attention he deserves. This has been a difficult decision, as he has been an absolute joy to have, but I want to ensure he finds a loving, forever home where he will continue to thrive.

Hiro is well-adjusted to kennel training both during the day and at night. He is trained to go on both grass and pee pads, though as a young puppy, he still has occasional accidents. He is also incredibly quiet—you might not even notice he’s there!

If you are looking for a wonderful companion, Hiro would make an amazing addition to your home. My loss is truly your gain.
