Yoko (On Trial 19/7/13)

Yoko, is a beautiful 10 year old, red, female, Shiba Inu (rare and ancient breed) who is sadly in need of a new home after her elderly owner passed away.

Yoko is a very quiet girl. She has not been around other dogs but in saying that, she is currently living with my 10 year old male Shih tzu who she is fine with. She is lovely and gentle with my 2 year old son.

She is not a barker and just does her own thing, sniffing around the yard. She walks well on the lead and is quiet as a mouse. She is very gentle and will take treats gently from your hand. She will make a fantastic pet for someone that wants an older dog who's very quiet and gentle. She is a very clever girl and can dance on her back legs when asked.

Yoko was dearly loved by her owner for 8 years. She is now in foster care and patiently waiting for another owner to love and care for her, for the remainder of her years.
