NorCal Shiba Offers Donations, Waives Fees for Victims of California Fires in Seeking New Pet Companions

NorCal Shiba, a local rehoming service that connects families in Northern California to their dream Shiba Inu puppies, has launched a new campaign to bring home a sense of warmth and joy to the families who have lost their homes, loved ones and livelihoods from this summer and fall’s devastating California fires.

For existing dog owners who may be struggling with supplies, NorCal Shiba has partnered with local donors and businesses to donate packages of dog food and deworming medication to families in need of the support.

The tragedy is especially hard for families who have lost their beloved pets, leaving a big void in their hearts and family. When these families decide that they are ready to introduce a new companion into their family, NorCal Shiba connects them to a new Shiba Inu puppy of their choice – for free. These donations from NorCal Shiba are given with the hope that a new Shiba Inu companion can bring joy and brightness into these families’ lives as they look forward towards new days.

Traditionally, the waitlist for a Shiba puppy is up to one year with a reputable breeder and it costs more than $2,200 for a pure-bred Shiba Inu puppy. With NorCal Shiba’s rehoming services, however, the average waitlist time is 2-3 months and with a lower rehoming cost. Potential families interview with the volunteer staff to ensure that each family is adequately equipped to take responsibility for their new family member. In turn, the families can detail their ideal Shiba Inu color, gender or personality. After a short waiting period, prospective families are able to meet and interact with the puppies until adoption is finalized. Part of the proceeds from all Shiba Inu rehoming go into the organization’s dog food and medication drive.

The high popularity of the Shiba Inu breed is because the Shiba Inu is considered one of the cutest breeds in the world. The cute Shiba Inu has an exquisite, fox-like face with delightfully sharp eyes and wide, chubby cheeks. If you know of a family in need, want to donate to their drive, or you are interested in learning more about the Shiba Inu rehoming process, please contact NorCal Shiba or visit their website.
