About Jenna
Jenna had dogs and horses all of her life before moving to NYC in the late 80s, but wasn’t lucky enough to be owned by a Shiba Inu until January 2004.
Jenna’s first Shiba, Snickers, truly stole her heart in a way no other animal ever had. After seeing how much he enjoyed playing with other neighborhood Shibas, Jenna started a Shiba meetup group, NYC Shiba Inus and their Human Companions, to organize monthly Shiba playdates. About a year later Jenna and several other members of the meetup group founded NYC Shiba Rescue, Inc. (NYCSR) to rescue Shiba Inus and Shiba Inu mixed breed dogs from dangerous environments and shelters in the NYC metropolitan area. Jenna ran the meetup and rescue groups until moving to Indiana in late July 2008.
In February 2009, Jenna and Snickers moved back to the NYC area, so keep an eye out for them at events such as Pet Expo, Meet the Breeds, and Responsible Dog Ownership Day.
