Shawny shows off a lively, clownish personality—her days revolve around chasing tennis balls, splashing in her kiddie pool, and making everyone laugh with her snorts and silly antics. Don’t be fooled by her photos; she’s a sturdy 50-pound girl. At night she settles quietly in her crate and sleeps soundly. She’s about 7 years old but you’d never guess by her energy and zest for life. Shawny gets along well with other dogs when introductions are slow and thoughtful, but she’d also enjoy being your only dog as the center of attention. She doesn’t do well with cats but is great with children who can appreciate a playful, affectionate dog. Shawny has been overlooked for a long time, but she keeps her spirits high and flashes a ready smile, just waiting for someone to notice her bright, hopeful spirit. Her adopter must be over 25 and a homeowner (or, if renting, have a proven track record and landlord approval). Meets happen in Southern New Jersey—with slow intros for potential doggie siblings.
