About Shaun

Meet Shaun! This lively 10-week-old puppy earns his name from Shaun the Sheep, thanks to his fluffy fur that gives him a perfectly round, sheep-like appearance. Shaun is a playful little guy who adores his tug-of-war sessions with his much larger foster brother. You'll often find him bouncing around the yard, on a quest for sticks and other treasures. When his adventures come to an end, Shaun knows how to settle down in his crate. He’s been working hard on his house training and has shown tremendous progress, rarely having accidents during crate time. Like any puppy, he'll need some guidance to channel that energy in positive ways as he grows. Though we can't pinpoint his exact mix, we suspect he has some poodle characteristics, which means regular grooming will help keep his fluffy fur manageable. Shaun thrives on interaction and socialization; he can be a bit enthusiastic in his playtime approach. Ultimately, he just wants a loving home where he can share countless adventures. If Shaun sounds like the pup for you, don't hesitate to apply to adopt him today!
