Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
Weight: 35 lbs
Personality: Shawnee is an absolute cuddle bug. She loves sitting on your lap, nuzzling into your armpit and getting pets. She also LOVES playing with stuffed animals and gifting them to her hoomans. She has a medium amount of energy, typically being playful in the morning but chill the rest of the day. As she's come out of her shell, she's begun to love to play with her foster sister as well. However, it's important to note that she will require several days of easing into relationships with new dogs, meaning slow intros with lots of pack walks. She does have dog friends! She also loves enrichment toys. Her ruff past makes her a better fit for having a lady around. She can be with men, but they should not force her out of her kennel or to go anywhere she doesnt want, and should give her space and respect.
Education: Bathroom and leash trained. Doesn't love the crate.
Favorite Activities: Walks, playing fetch, cuddling, playing with stuffed toys
Looking for: A home with a female, and slow intro with males who will respect her space, with no kids or cats. Dogs are fine if given the necessary time to intro and decompress. She likes people with calm energy that move slow with her. People that can read her signals and give her space when she wants it. She is very loyal, has great recall, and loves hard. She will be an amazing companion for someone. She is super silly and goofy and will make you laugh with her quirky personality. She can be reactive on walks so someone who can help redirect her focus. She is treat motivated so she is trainable. She has been prescribed anxiety meds for stressful situations but she doesn't need them that often. She has been through a lot and deserves all of the love and someone who will make her feel safe. She would be a great companion for someone with a chill life who doesn't have too many visitors. Someone who will advocate for her space and help her continue to trust the world. She is low to medium energy so doesn't need much activity.
Special needs: She takes joint supplements to help with a healed injury, as well as Carprofen (~$10.00 for a month's supply. Price will depend on market value and where purchased). to help with effective pain management.
Adoption Fee: $ 250
