My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Shamu!

Quick Facts:
Breed: Maybe a little lab, maybe a little boxer, maybe a little bit of Boston terrier to account for her spunky nature.
Age: 7-8 years old.
Size: Around 60#

Now, this girl might not be as big in size as her marine-life namesake, but her heart rivals it easily. Shamu is the sweetest Lab/Boxer mix, with likely a little bit of everything else sprinkled in. She is bigger-dog friendly with proper introductions, but doesn't appreciate the yippy sounds that emit from small, fluffy dogs and isn't exactly kitty friendly. She still thinks she can catch a squirrel even though we've told her to give it up. She makes up for this with her love of ALL humans, big or small, hairy or wild.

In her mature state, she enjoys a good lounge around the house & will even give you enough space on the couch to stretch your legs out. Shamu prefers to sleep in the same room as her family at night so she can make sure everyone is safe and sound.

This girl is crate trained, house trained, and a terrible guard dog, saving most of her barking for her vivid dreams.
