TOMS RIVER, NJ — Two small Shiba Inu sisters, Ruby and Roxy, are beginning a brand‑new chapter in life after being rescued from an Amish puppy mill where they spent their first seven years. Now safe in the care of Shiba Rescue of New Jersey, the pair is ready to find families who can give them the affection, patience, and stability they’ve never had until now.

Ruby, a red-coated female, and Roxy, a black‑and‑tan female, each weigh just 15 pounds and have surprised rescuers with their warm, affectionate personalities. For dogs raised in a mill environment—where socialization is rare and affection is almost never shown—their eagerness to give kisses and seek human attention is nothing short of remarkable.

Both dogs are spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and have received dental care. They are housebroken, walk on a lead, and are beginning to adjust to life outside the farm. Because they were raised in a rural setting, rescuers recommend avoiding high‑traffic walking areas until they gain more confidence.

Ruby and Roxy can be adopted together or separately, though the rescue notes that both girls enjoy companionship and adapt well to gentle, patient handlers.

Anyone interested in adopting these sweet Shibas can fill out an application through the rescue’s website.
