Meet Shane. This striking 2-year-old, large mixed-breed dog has already seen far more hardship than most. He arrived at the shelter with an embedded collar, a painful injury that would have left many afraid or withdrawn. But Shane, in the face of it all, remained nothing but sweetness. Volunteers call him a big love bug – if there’s a chance to snuggle or lean into someone, he takes it. He doesn’t hold back, something every person in the shelter feels when he gently pushes his weight into their side just to be a bit closer. Shane gets along well with other dogs and seems to thrive on companionship, both human and canine. Mostly, though, he wants someone to reassure him that those hard days are over. If you want a loyal friend who has every reason to be cautious but instead chooses love, Shane is your dog. He’s ready to forgive, move forward, and give someone his whole heart.
