Jenna & Snickers Promote Humane Education and Responsible Dog Ownership
My first foster dog could have easily become a heart dog. She was never meant to be a permanent addition to my life, but she definitely became a permanent addition to my heart. Snickers and I both love her dearly. Read about her below.
I’ve been personally involved with the lives of many rescued Shiba Inus since founding NYC Shiba Rescue two years ago and I’ve felt varying amounts of affection for each and every one of them. Every dog is an individual (just like people) and there’s almost always something lovable about each of them (maybe not so […]

Snickers and I have our first NYCSR foster dog! Shayna was surrendered by her owner because she didn’t like sharing her home with puppies. (Her owner had other dogs that had puppies recently.)
