Listing confirmed 14 November 2026
Based on Animal Aid's listing, and in some cases inferred from Loxy's description. Always confirm with them before deciding.
All adoption applications are handled directly by Animal Aid. Contact them to arrange a meet-and-greet and start the adoption process.
Three-year-old Loxy is a lovely Shiba Inu girl who likes to keep things cool, calm and collected. She's not one to throw herself into the spotlight or demand attention - she's much more of a quiet observer who prefers to take her time and assess the situation before deciding you're worth her attention! True to her Shiba Inu roots, Loxy is a little reserved, somewhat independent and has that wonderfully aloof air that Shiba lovers know and adore. She's also a sensible girl who has been very compliant with vet checks and handling, showing us that beneath that independent exterior is a pretty easy-going young lady. Loxy will be happiest in a calm, quiet home with a predictable routine and, ideally, someone who already understands the wonderful (and sometimes wonderfully quirky!) ways of the Shiba Inu. She's not looking for a busy social calendar or a household full of chaos - she's after a peaceful place to call her own. She may be able to share her home with another dog, although she hasn't shown a great deal of interest in making canine friends while in the shelter, so any potential friendship would need to be carefully considered. If you appreciate a dog who has a little independence, a touch of sass and plenty of Shiba charm, Loxy could be your perfect match. She's a little lady who knows her own mind and is looking for someone who appreciates her for exactly that!
If Loxy isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
