All proceeds go to MSIR (Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue) and SIRA (Shiba Inu Rescue Association), two organizations who are dedicated to saving shiba inus that find themselves displaced, whether from commercial breeding facilities or needing new homes. We know it’s hard to believe you can ADOPT such special dogs as shiba inus, but this event hopes to share just how many shibas out there need homes and to put an end to commercial breeding facilities.
