NESRA is a small privately run, all-volunteer, non-profit organization.  Due to the changes brought about by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, we are unable to continue rescuing those Shibas that need us and will be retiring from rescue as of September 19, 2006.  It is our hope that this website will serve as an educational resource. If you are thinking of adopting a Shiba, please read everything you can find on the breed and talk with reputable Shiba breeders before making a final decision.

Please contact the following rescues to learn about Shibas available for adoption.
