Melvin was recently neutered - hence his cone of shame :(
Konnichiwa! That means "Good afternoon" in Japanese! I'm Melvin, a Shiba Inu and my ancestors originated in Japan. Inu is the Japanese word for dog, but the origin of the prefix "Shiba" is less clear. In one old dialect, "shiba" means "small" - which describes us perfectly! I'm about 23-lbs and as good-lookin' as a dog can be. I was brought to MaxFund as a stray so not too much is known about my previous life. The good person who brought me to MaxFund reports that I was good with the resident cat and I'm very eager to please.
I'm an energetic guy with an optimistic outlook on life. Us Shiba Inu's are described as having a spirited boldness and good nature which together yield dignity and natural beauty. We are loyal and affectionate to our humans and live every moment of life to the fullest. Also, true to my breed, us Shiba's are a fastidious breed who can often be seen licking our paws and legs much like a cat. True to my fastidious roots, I'm housetrained and try to always put my best paw forward!
I need proper introductions to other dogs and am unsure how I'll enjoy children (they don't let too many of them run free here in the Big Dog Room at MaxFund). When the MaxFund folks learn more about me, I'll be sure they update my bio (I'd do it myself but I haven't passed Typing 101 yet - heehee).
If you're looking for a petite, loyal, affectionate pup who's excited about all life has to offer, please hurry on in to MaxFund today and ask for Melvin!
