Shawn is tall, lanky, gorgeous, and wonderfully hard to categorize. He’s giving Heinz 57 with a side of “your guess is as good as ours,” and honestly, it works for him. Shawn recently enjoyed an overnight in a foster home and showed that he can handle apartment life, settle in a crate while his person is at work, and generally be a very good houseguest. He's the perfect age of approximately 4 - nicely mature. He’s more interested in hanging out near his person than collecting a house full of toys. In play group, Shawn prefers calm dogs and smaller groups, but he doesn’t need canine companions to be happy. He’s perfectly content being someone’s handsome, devoted sidekick.
