West Coast Shiba Society
The West Coast Shiba Society is a BC-based, volunteer-run charity serving Shiba Inus and their people throughout British Columbia and Alberta. We educate and support Shiba guardians, help families navigate challenges and access resources, and provide responsible rehoming, foster care, rescue and adoption when a Shiba needs a new home. Our work is grounded in compassion, responsible care and a commitment to doing what is right for each individual dog.
WCSS depends on our community to help Shibas in need. You can help by donating, opening your home to a foster Shiba, adopting a dog looking for a new family, or simply helping us stay connected—follow and share our social media posts, spread the word about Shibas looking for homes, and let us know when you hear about a lost Shiba or a Shiba who may need help.
Finding the right home matters more than finding a home quickly. Our thoughtful, foster-to-adopt process is designed to create successful, lifelong matches by considering each Shiba’s individual personality, history and needs alongside the adopter’s home and lifestyle. We provide guidance and support throughout the transition—and our relationship doesn’t end when the adoption becomes official.
Our blog is where we share practical information, thoughtful guidance and reliable resources for people who live with and care about Shibas. You’ll find articles on behaviour, health and welfare, responsible ownership, rescue and adoption, along with WCSS news, stories and updates from our community.
