About Shawnee

Shawnee is proof that sometimes the quietest dogs have the biggest hearts. Around 6 years old and a compact 30 pounds, she seeks a peaceful home where she can feel secure. Once abandoned in an apartment and nearly euthanized at a Houston shelter, Shawnee was saved by a compassionate foster. Now, she needs a patient adopter to help her blossom. Shawnee can be shy and will require some time to trust new people. She thrives on kindness, patience, and a few tasty treats to break the ice. As she becomes more comfortable, her sweet personality shines through. This house-trained and crate-trained girl has a love for treats—despite her size. She's vocal about her feelings and prefers her space, but her barking is mostly a sign of her personality rather than aggression. Shawnee won't be the type to rush into your arms initially, but with time, she will show endless gratitude. If you’re ready to provide a bit of extra love and a soft landing for Shawnee, she may be the perfect companion you've been searching for. Ready to make a difference?
