Meet Shiro! Say hello to Shiro, a sweet, loving little cuddlebug with a playful personality and a heart full of love! Shiro came into our care alongside his sibling, Kuma, and sadly, both puppies were very underweight. With a little love, care and attention, Shiro is now ready to find a family who will give him the happy, healthy life every puppy deserves. Shiro is affectionate, enjoys cuddles and has a fun, playful side that will bring plenty of joy and laughter to his new home. He is looking for a family who will cherish him, guide him and help him grow into a wonderful adult dog. A puppy is a commitment, not just a cute face. Owning a puppy takes time, patience, consistency and financial responsibility. Shiro will need ongoing training, socialisation, vaccinations, flea/worm treatment, exercise and plenty of love. There will be accidents, chewing, sleepless nights and lots of learning along the way! We want Shiro's new family to understand that adopting him means committing to him for his entire lifetime, through the fun stages and the challenging ones. He deserves a safe, loving home where his needs will always come first. If you have the time, patience and commitment to raise a puppy and are ready for a lifetime of love, Shiro could be the perfect addition to your family.
