Meet Shalane, the 90-pound fluffy enigma that’s likely part Great Pyrenees, part Golden Retriever, and maybe just a sprinkle of Collie—like the canine version of a mixed salad that somehow landed in your dog park. This gentle giant isn’t just here to look pretty; she’s on a mission to be the most loyal footrest you’ve ever had, often choosing to station herself at your feet while you navigate the trials of daily life. Think of her as your personal canine companion and motivational coach—whenever you move, she’ll be right there, making sure you don’t forget to share your snacks.
Now, let’s address the elephant (or rather, the fluffy cloud) in the room: Shalane takes a while to warm up to new doggy friends. If she were at a party, she’d be the one in the corner, quietly judging the small talk before deciding if she’d like to join the fun. But fear not! Once she feels comfortable, she can be quite the socialite, provided her potential dog pals are male and relaxed. However, when it comes to cats, let’s just say Shalane’s idea of a good time doesn’t include “sacks-of-meow.” Nope, they’re not invited to her party. As for kids, she’s the gentle giant who’s great with well-mannered little humans. Just remember, Shalane isn’t a fan of kids jumping on her like a trampoline, so some boundaries will go a long way. And when it comes to car rides, you’ll need to buckle her in tighter than a rollercoaster rider, as she’s known to chew through leashes faster than a kid demolishing a birthday cake.
She is a bit of a homebody, Shalane loves lounging around and will station herself near you, keeping an eye out like the loyal guardian she is. She might even offer you her finest footrest as she lays her head on your foot while you cook. If you’re lucky enough to catch her at her best, you’ll see her playful side emerge in spurts, making your heart just about burst with joy and you see this girl start to open up. On the leash, Shalane is a bit of a power walker. She’ll pull like she’s auditioning for the canine version of “Dancing with the Stars” when she spots another dog, but when she’s not distracted, she’s a perfect lady. Training? She’s got potential! With some consistent guidance, she’s learning the ropes and making strides in her puppy education.
Shalane's house manners are top-notch! She’s like the guest who comes over, eats all your snacks, and still remembers to say thank you. A true lady, she knows how to lounge gracefully on the couch without turning it into a crime scene. Sure, she might occasionally eye your favorite shoe like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, but who among us can resist a tasty sole? Crate trained and polite, she’ll quietly chill while you’re out, making her the perfect housemate who won’t judge your snack choices or loudly critique your choice of TV shows.
Shalane’s past may have left her with a few emotional hurdles, but this big-hearted girl is determined to figure out “how to dog.” She’s ready to tackle her puppy emotions and behaviors with your help. The reward? A steadfast companion who believes that every day is a chance to learn, grow, and maybe steal your heart—along with the occasional shoe.
