Sadly need a new home for Japanese dogs
Hello all. I have a shiba(f), Kai ken (m) and a Hokkaido (f). Sadly I am afraid I have to depart with them as I am going through a divorce and I have a 2 and 4 yr old that need my attention more and I have decided that I will rent for the time being which none will let me have dogs. Does anyone know where I could possibly start the search to find a new home for them? Of course no one really understands the needs of these breeds like most of the people on this forum and I want to make sure I find a forever home and one that has a fenced In yard and understand their crazy personalities. I will attach a picture later of them. Please let me know if you are interested or can point me in the right direction where to search for a new home. Thanks!
Jamie

Where do you live? I will speak to my hubby about possibly adoptingyour female hokkaido.
More photos and information about the dogs' temperaments etc would be good

Edit to add that some of the forum members have started an NK rescue, so you may want to contact them in regards of spreading the word. I think so far there's only a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NihonKenRescue
I believe Crispy is running the FB page and could post the information there if you provide it.
Where are you located? There are a number of Shiba meetups and I can network with the Shiba meetup organizers to help place your Shiba.
Yes, our NK rescue is just beginning, so we can get the word out there, and maybe someone on the forum will be able to help as well. Where are you located? how old are the dogs? What are they like in terms of temperament? Are they particularly bonded (as in do you want to try to place some together?) As much information as you can give will help, and photos as well (or since you've been on the forum for awhile, maybe link their threads?)
There are good Shiba rescues, too, which may be able to help with the Shiba, who may be the most difficult to place anyway (given how many Shibas in need there are).
I'm sorry you're going through this.
Is your Hokkaido female spayed? It's sad that there is one needing rescue so early in the breeds history here, but that that's why it's good you have reached out here.
I'm very sorry you are going thru this
@lindsayt New signature? I like.
I liked your sig so borrowed the concept
Scummy breeder offer:
If your Hokkaido female isn't spayed, I offer to take her for our preservation effort with the Hokkaido club here.
Post pictures when you can as well. My best friend down here in FL is looking into adopting a Shiba, and there's a high chance he'd be willing to take one of the two.
Here are a few of the old threads on Kangai:

Too bad I can't take in any dogs at the moment or I would offer to help out.
I would also be willing to give her a home if she gets along well with other female dogs and is healthy.

I went through a shit separation and kept my dogs, in a rental. Trying to balance a career and my terrors was hard but I managed it, my brother was fantastic with week day visits and walks when I was tied up with clients.
Please don't give up without trying. I'm sure this is a really hard, shit period in your life, but you will make it through and being on here I can safely assume you love your dogs, so if you are struggling perhaps assistance from a local member could help? Once your life stabilizes surely you'd be okay with them?
also, depending on region, "emotional support animals" are legal in rentals.
Best of luck.
Upload but I will work on it tomorrow with there write ups
Do You still have the contract You signed? I am still having it. And all of our correspondence also. Belive me I keep it until today.
Why are You lying??? You have never asked me If I will take Kangai back. You have never informed me that she is in need and is looking for a new home, although You were ought to do it according to our contract! You are obligated to inform me if the dog is in need, in first.
It is also ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE, that You "had to spay the Hokkaido or You couldn't get her papers. And that "she came from Poland if anyone is unfamiliar with that from her breeder there". She was sold as a breeding dog, with the permision to breed. It was only up to You If You decide to do it or not.
If You have the problems with Your memory I can send You a copy of a contract (in where there is everthing written), the copy of all the exported papers of FCI (recognized by AKC and UKC)You got from us and even the e-mails from 2008, in which was:
Jamie: on 21st of August 2008
I also have a question about Kangai, since she is already 6 months now. When should I expect her to go into heat and what should I expect? My husband and I have been talking about if we should spay her or not. I really don't want to because she is so beautiful, and if I could show her or breed her I would, however because she is such a rare breed, where would we find a male to breed her with and where could i show her? I guess we should think about this soon because we take her to the dog park frequently and some of those male dogs in there can get a little, frisky i guess you could say, and I wouldn't want her to get pregnant by some random dog on accident. What do you suggest I do?
Than I was writing to you:
To answer the question You asked me: It is tottally up to You if You want to spay her or not. In my opinion, You should not, because You can do it always, when You just will really need it. But it it only Your own decision. If You have some reason to do it, just do it. I know that there is a very small possiaility, that there will be a new, not related - male hokkaido in US. But maybe, he will be one day
But, Jamie, You do what You find it is necessary or just - more comfortable to You.
About the shows - You can show her where You want - in AKC or UKC. I am sure they accept her pedigree
If her heat is a big problem to You, just do it.
You answered on 16th of October:
"We still havent decided on if we want to spay her or not yet. We are still debating".
Anyway, before I sell You a dog, You promised me many times You would never give the dog away. It is the most awful thing that could happen to my dog... That`s way I considered not to send a dog so far from home at first... But You have seemed to be a
responsible woman, so I belived You...
Maybe if You informed me I would try to find a new home for Kangai? Why didn`t You do it?? Maybe I could have time to organised her back to Poland. If I had an information earlier... My e-mail didn`t change for the years but I got no message at all about the situation of Kangai from the begining of 2009, altough I tried, and send the e-mail without the answers...
Today I wrote to the Dog Rescue that is looking for a home for Kangai. I hope they have more interesting of the dog and will try to help us to help Kangai...
That`s the true.
Bye

>:P
....Life events can throw a monkey wrench at anyone. Hoping the best for everyone.
That being said….
Don’t leave the barer of news solely to emails where messages are left up to the portal gods since it is all to easy to have communication stifled. News like this is not something someone wants to find out online, it just skews things and creates poor assumptions and rumors that will ruin someones day.
It is times like these that having your breeder on speed dial and phone contact is soooo helpful. Yes even in another country give a call and talk.
