Meet Shawn
Shawn – Mellow, Easygoing, and sometimes Affectionate Shawn is a 7-year-old, 58-pound Siberian Husky mix with a mellow, gentle personality. He has nice leash manners and enjoys quietly taking in the world around him while staying calm and composed. Leash Manners: Shawn walks nicely on leash and is an easygoing companion for leisurely walks and outings. Gentle & Affectionate: Shawn is affiliative and enjoys pets, leaning in when he’s feeling affectionate. He may also offer an automatic sit or lift his paw for a shake. Treat Motivated: Shawn takes treats gently and is especially enthusiastic about cheese! He is a little selective, showing more interest and engagement when offered high-value treats. Easygoing Companion: Shawn remains calm when other dogs are nearby. While he can be independent at times, his sweet, engaging nature shines when he has something tasty to motivate him. Shawn will do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.
