My story

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

Finding himself alone on the streets, Shawn saw an older lady with a dog, and started following them. She called the police, who came to her location, and called us to pick Shawn up. Back at the shelter, Shawn is an energetic, playful dog. He takes a minute to warm up to new people, enjoys treats, and is very engaging. At this time, we feel Shawn would thrive best in a solo dog home with kids 17 years and older.
