Story
Shenzi is a loving, people-focused pup who thrives on connection and engagement. She’s incredibly affectionate and happiest when she’s near her humans, following along with curiosity and charm. If you’re talking, Shenzi is listening—often with her ears flipped over, intently watching whoever has the floor.She is treat-motivated and eager to learn, already knowing “come” and recently mastering “sit.” Shenzi is crate trained and does well sleeping in her crate at night and spending time there while her foster family is at work. She’s still working on house training but continues to make steady progress.Shenzi gets along wonderfully with others. She lives peacefully with senior dogs, played well with a 6-year-old dog, and did amazingly with young children, including toddlers and a 6-year-old. She also did very well with the household cat, showing excellent manners.Playful and endearing, Shenzi loves chewing on bones, occasionally chases her tail for fun, and has a sweet habit of tucking her head under anything she’s cuddling with. She’s often on the move, which makes her a bit tricky to photograph, but it’s only because she’s so full of life.Shenzi would do best with a family ready to offer affection, consistency, and continued positive training.Before You Apply – Please Read:Puppies require time and patience.✔ They can’t be left alone all day — 4 hours max until they’re at least 6 months old.✔ Kids should be ready for a real, wiggly, sometimes-nippy baby who needs gentle handling and structure.If you’re ready for all that puppy life brings, these cuties are waiting!Breed: Boxer/Pit Bull TerrierAge: 4.5 monthsWeight: ~30lbsSpayed/Neutered: Too young — spay/neuter contract required and strictly enforcedVaccinations: All puppy vaccines completed, including rabiesHeartworm: Too young for testing (done at 6 months)Housetrained: Not usually at this ageMicrochipped: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Yes Adoption Fee: $500Location of dog currently: New England IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
