Shane lost his longtime home when his owner passed, and the transition wasn’t easy on him. At first, he struggled to settle in, but now he takes comfort in gentle massages, showing his thanks with a steady wag of his tail. Shane isn’t much for snuggles, likely because of his medium-length coat, so routine grooming will be important. He has become friends with a chihuahua housemate—he’ll follow his buddy’s lead, which is both sweet and telling of his social nature. Shane weighs about 19 pounds and could benefit from a little weight loss, aiming closer to 12–15 pounds. Walks are a highlight for him, especially trips to Fiesta Island where he paddles into the bay. While he needs patience and understanding to settle into a new home, Shane is ready to be a reliable walking partner and soft-hearted companion in the right hands. Start your journey together!
