About Shrike

Meet Shrike! This adorable lab/pointer mix is just 6 months old and came to us from a rural county shelter after being found as a stray. He’s not just incredibly cute; Shrike has a sweet and loving personality. Though he can be a bit shy at first, he warms up quickly, revealing his curious and lovable nature. Shrike enjoys playing with other dogs, toys, and he walks well on a leash already. He will benefit from training and socialization once adopted. While this handsome boy may still have some things to learn, he more than makes up for it with puppy kisses, loyalty, and love. We promised Shrike that the rest of his life would be the best of his life. Could that be with you? APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com. We are located in South Carolina and transport to the northeast weekly. Applicants not along the East Coast should be willing to travel to pick up their new pet. Virtual or local meet-and-greets can be arranged with an application on file.
