My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Basics
1. Housetrained: Yes she seems to be, and will let you know when she needs to go out.
2. Good with dogs: Unknown
3. Good with cats: Unknown
4. Good with kids:Unknown
5. Details on leash training, crate training, litter box training and other training commands
known: She’s still new to the world so she doesn’t know many commands but Shawnee doesn`t
chew on objects or hands, only toys, and takes treats very gently from hands.
6. Details on personal history, if known (how did he/she arrive at the shelter): Unknown
This Animal’s Characteristics
Please provide as much detail as possible. Specific behavior examples/experiences that
illustrate their qualities are a big help!
1. Describe cuddling behavior/affection level: 10/10 Shawnee will follow you around like a
puppy magnet, but isn`t afraid to go off on her own to find a cozy place to nap. She sleeps on
her own through the night. She`s gentle in playtime and loves to come and lay against your legs.
Has toe licking tendencies.
2. Describe play behavior and favorite toys: She loves a cloth squeaky/crinkle toy but also
plays with tug ropes and chew balls. She`s very gentle in all play and does not bite hands.
3. Describe activity level: She is a pretty calm puppy, as far as puppies go, mainly due to her
temporary immobility. She still gets puppy zoomies at night and throughout the day but is
content to nap and explore on her own. No issues with begging, jumping, or barking.
4. Look into the animal’s eyes. What is he/she telling you: “I’m still new here and I’m still little
but I’d love to go on and adventure with you”
5. What are the best adjectives to describe them?: Loveable, Gentle, Resilient
6. What does the animal specifically DO that exemplifies those adjectives: She gets up
everyday with the energy of 10 puppies, despite the difficulty presented by her physical form.
She can be trusted and will look back for you if she starts running ahead.
7. What are the animal’s best qualities?: Wow, everything. Shawnee is the easiest puppy to
love.
8. What are your favorite things about him or her? Cute behaviors?: Shawnee has a ticklish
spot on her shoulder blades. She loves playing with her reflection in the mirror.
9. What is/are your favorite physical characteristic(s) of this animal?: She has 3 dots on the
sides of her face, on the corners of her eyes and on her whisker points. Her tail is also small
and knub
