Meet Rupert!

Rupert is a handsome 6 year old Shiba Inu looking for his forever home! As he’s settle in with us, he’s revealed more and more of his quirky charm. In the morning, he is very eager to go out on a walk, he trots along with great purpose. But once his morning mission is complete he becomes a true cuddle bug, who wants nothing more than to sit in your lap.

Because Rupert arrived as a stray, his past is a bit of a mystery but we know his future is bright. We’ve learned he is reactive with other dogs, so he’s seeking a pet-free home where he can soak up all the attention. Rupert would thrive in an adult only home with a Shiba-savvy adopter who understands the quirks of the breed. Because of his dog reactivity, Rupert would not do well in an apartment setting unless he ground level outdoor access. We are seeking a detached home or townhouse for him.

Rupert is a sweet boy that loves to be around his people. He knows some basic commands and would benefit from some additional training. Rupert loves yummy snacks which will make training rewarding and fun.

Rupert has his neuter and dental surgery booked on April 28th so we are looking for local adopters who can take him to and from his appointment in Surrey.

Come by the West Vancouver location and experience Rupert’s charm for yourself! Our adoption hours are 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays). While we welcome online applications, we prioritize in‑person meets.
