About Shem

Shem is an inquisitive and affectionate young pup with a charming, semi-fluffy coat. He’s primarily white, accented by black markings and delightful tan eyebrows that give him a distinctive look. This sweet boy enjoys observing his environment before diving into play and is particularly fond of romping around with other dogs. Though initially shy, Shem opens up quickly with a little patience and encouragement. He loves treats and playtime, which help him gain confidence. Once he trusts you, he welcomes all the affection you have to offer and often likes to stay close to his human friends while also exploring on his own. Shem, along with his seven siblings, was found abandoned and brought into rescue. He is currently thriving in foster care, having received several vaccinations, neutering, and microchipping. This lovely boy looks forward to finding a family that can support him as he continues to grow and gain confidence. Shem gets along well with children, cats, and other dogs — a perfect companion for any loving household. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
