We became enamored with shibas many years ago when we saw a puppy at a store. After much research we decided this was the breed for us and wanted to provide a good home to a rescue. We found Tri-State Shiba online and fell in love with Cody from his photo, but he was already promised to someone else. We talked with Pam and made arrangements to visit her facility on our way out east for vacation. She brought Cody out just to see how we interacted. She was so impressed with how we handled this skittish little boy that she talked with the prospective adopters about allowing us to have him.
A year later we adopted Bandit before he even made it to her facility. He was a wonderful dog and has even become immortalized in book series due to his antics and laid back nature.
Because of Pam we will forever be a shiba family.
