About Shawnee

Shawnee is a delightful cuddle bug, always looking for a lap to snuggle on and a hand to pet her. She enjoys nuzzling into cozy spots and adores playing with stuffed animals, often gifting them to her humans. With a playful streak in the mornings, she balances her energy throughout the day. As she gains confidence, she's opened up to playing with her foster sister, though she needs several days to comfortably acclimate to new canine friends. Slow introductions and plenty of pack walks are essential for her to build trust. While Shawnee is bathroom and leash trained, she prefers not to be crated. Her favorite activities include walks, fetch, and, of course, cuddling. She's looking for adults who can respect her boundaries, preferably in a calm environment without kids or cats. Shawnee thrives with people who understand her cues and can appreciate her quirky, silly personality. Sometimes she can be reactive on walks, so she’d benefit from someone who can help redirect her focus, especially since she is treat motivated and easily trainable. Though she does take joint supplements for a previous injury, she deserves a loving home that can offer her security and patience. This charming girl is low to medium energy, making her a perfect companion for someone with a leisurely lifestyle. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
