About Shenzi

Shenzi is a beautiful Lab mix, about 2 years old, who arrived from another rescue with her companions after they all found their homes. The only one still waiting is Shenzi, and we know she’s the special one who deserves her own family. While she can be a bit shy when meeting new people, with a little time she'll reveal the sweet and affectionate nature that has won us over. As part of our Paws Forward Program, her adopter will receive three free training sessions, helping her settle into her new home. Shenzi is currently positive for ehrlichia, a treatable tick-borne illness, but she’s on the mend and just needs routine vet care moving forward. This lovely girl is ready for someone patient who can help her trust and show her the love she craves. If you think you could be that person for Shenzi, don't wait—apply to adopt!
