When I first came to SCARS, I was starving and hanging around a camp site. I would steal food and bark at everyone. They live-trapped me and they actually thought they got a coyote at first, hence the name. I am no coyote. I am likely a Shiba Inu cross male, and about four years old. I settled in quickly at my foster home, and at first everything was peachy. (We call that the "honey moon period.") However, as I got comfortable and started to show my true colors, it became obvious that I would be a bit difficult to adopt out. I am VERY territorial and guard my place, my friends, and my person with a truly unnecessary ferocity. I don't really like kids, although I tolerate the children in my foster home, and I love both dogs and cats. I have the most expressive face and ears that can contort into 75 different positions. Around here they love introducing me to something new just to watch some of the expressions I give. I do listen to my person, but I like what I like, and I hate what I hate. You can try and teach me otherwise if you like, but it's unlikely to work and you may get told off. I have failed and been booted out of two doggy training facilities, and it's been thought best that I hang here to chill with my buddies. If you meet me with my foster mom, I can be a gentleman; I just prefer not to be. How do you argue with that?
