Shawnee is proof that sometimes the quietest dogs have the biggest hearts. Around 6 years old and weighing just 30 pounds, Shawnee is looking for a home where she can finally exhale. Before rescue, Shawnee was abandoned in an apartment and eventually found herself on the euthanasia list at a Houston shelter. Thanks to a wonderful foster who stepped up just in time, she was given the chance to start over.
Shawnee is naturally shy and takes a little time to trust new people. She'll need someone who understands that relationships don't have to be rushed and that patience, kindness, and a few tasty treats can go a long way. Once she feels safe, you'll begin to see the sweet girl who's been there all along, and it's worth the wait. She is being fostered with other dogs and does great with them. She's even starting to play and roll around in the grass, and we love to see it! Shawnee won't be the dog who runs into your arms on day one, but if you're willing to give her the time she needs, she'll spend the rest of her life showing you just how much it meant and will be your cuddly shadow. If you're looking for a companion who just needs a little extra love and a soft place to land, Shawnee might be exactly who you've been waiting for.
Ideal Home
Shawnee is a medium-energy dog who enjoys adventures and playing with toys, even though she's middle-aged. She would do best in a home that understands she is shy and needs time to warm up.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns were mentioned.
Training & Support
Shawnee is house-trained and crate-trained. She can be a little spicy at times and isn't afraid to let you know how she's feeling, but she's much more bark than bite and simply appreciates having her space respected. Once you get to know her, it's actually kind of funny because you know she wouldn't hurt a fly.
