Nami is a playful, affectionate Shiba with a heart full of sweetness. She was surrendered through no fault of her own and is now patiently waiting for the loving home she truly deserves. Nami adores attention, enjoys playtime, and charms everyone she meets with her gentle, loving nature. She’s ready to bring joy, cuddles, and lots of smiles to her future family. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
Nami adores attention, enjoys playtime, and charms everyone she meets with her gentle, loving nature. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
