Happy Halloween, Everfurryone! No Tricks today! … Just Treats!
Great news about Pumpkin’s next step! Her furever mom is so excited to welcome her into her home. Pumpkin was spayed on Thursday and is recuperating at her foster home! Once she’s healed, she’ll go to her new home…
But for now, she’s greeting Trick or Treaters and giving them candy and Shiba kisses!
If anyone can “treat” NNSR with a donation, it will be greatly appreciated. Pumpkin’s spay was expensive and her teeth are in need of cleaning and perhaps an extraction or two. We would be so grateful for any donation!

Stay tuned for more Pumpkin updates!! Than you for your continued support!
Happy Howloween!

Introducing Pumpkin! She was found as a stray in Angwin and ended up at the Napa County Animal Shelter. NNSR’s rescue has been approved, so we can finally spring her from the shelter! She’s about 8 years old, shy but sweet. She was not fazed the big barking dogs she passed by when we went for a walk. She has a gentle mouth and is well-mannered on a leash. She needs a soft landing spot and patience to bring back her confidence! Please PM us if you have room in your heart and home for her!

Northern Nevada Shiba Rescue is very happy to announce that Haru has graduated and found his new furrever home with Daniel, his wife Janet and their daughter Penny. Leo, their Shiba is withholding his opinion for now, he has welcomed Haru into his home but he is on alert as to whether they will be friends! LOL. We wish them every happiness and will miss Haru in our home but know that he has lots of love already in his furrever home! Thank you everyone that followed and donated to Haru's care!

My Apologies if this gets posted twice.

On April 24th, we met Kathy Oppenheimer in Auburn and picked up Haru. 8 weeks later, with the assistance of our vet, Jody E Hicks, haru has transformed into a beautiful, and very energetic, 5 year old! We can now focus on the next part of his journey, a very thorough, and extensive dental exam and cleaning. We would like to thank all of you that have donated to his care so far, and for those who would still like to donate, we accept Venmo at -NNSR or PayPal at [email protected]. thank you all for following us and helping us share Haru's story!

Hi evefurryone! It’s me, Haru!
I apologize for not updating you all earlier about my progress…but in between my medicated baths, I’ve been roadtripping with my NNSR peeps! My skin is clearing and my fur is growing back. I love to sun on the front deck!! Thanks to evfurryone who donated to help me!!

Today Haru got to meet Dr. Jody Hicks with Aspen Health and Wellness in Reno. Dr. Hicks has been to official Vet for Northern Nevada Shiba Rescue for almost 20 years. She eliminated any bug and confirmed that Haru has a severe allergy process culminating in a severe yeast infection. She has prescribed a medicated shampoo for twice a week trips to our groomer, Athena, with Hand to Paws I. Downtown Reno. She also prescribed Apoquel, an antibiotic and anti itching. Dr. Hicks noted once we have his infection under control, the next step will be to address his teeth, after months on the streets, you can only imagine how bad his teeth are. She approved for him to start the baths ASAP and Athena got him in today, right after he left Dr. Hicks. Haru was amazing with Dr. Hicks who jokingly questioned if he was a real shiba, but then came the bath and now he showed the true shiba attitude. He was not happy, but part of that could be the medicated shampoo. But, in the end, he was very well behaved for both and he has taken the next step towards recovery. To all of you who have do ated to his cause, Haru thanks you from the bottom of his heart, and so do I/we here at Northern Nevada Shiba Rescue. For those that would like to donate, please send to: -NNSR. Thank you all for supporting us and for following Haru on his journey to wellness and his furrever home!

Haru is making himself right at home here, he is such a sweet little boy. I can't wait to see what a beautiful boy he becomes. So many of you have donated to our rescue in his name and we are truly grateful and appreciative of those donations. So far, we have collected over $1,000, thank you! Please know this will be a long and slow process and I promise to keep you all updated along the way. We would like to thank each of you for your donations personally, however, Venmo does not give us anything but your name. For those of you who have already donated, and any of you who would like to donate, please email us, or private message us, with your mailing address and I will get you a personalized receipt and thank you. We are a 501c3 so all donations are tax deductible. Again, on behalf of Haru, THANK YOU!!!!!

Haru has settled in with us and is exploring every nook and cranny of his new home! Here he is checking out the office nook! He is quite energetic and is surely an escape artist!! His first vet visit will be Tuesday, which will bring him some relief from his itchiness as he begins his transformation!!!
