Shibojin sounds, concidental?

I know the Japanese word (kanji) most commonly associated with the romaji 'Jin' refers to a 'human', or 'being'.

I wonder what the 'Shibo' stands for, though? (something in my rusty Japanese vocabulary is telling me it might mean 'dog', but I think, contradictorily, that word in question might verily be 'shiba' instead.)
