shawn

Meet Shawn Shawn is a four-year-old black poodle weighing just 12 pounds, and he is ready for a fresh start and the loving life he deserves. He was found fending for himself in an abandoned building in Kentucky, and despite his tough beginning, Shawn has a gentle spirit and a lot of love to give. When Shawn was rescued, his coat was extremely matted and had to be shaved down to a short crew cut. As his fur grows back, expect beautiful, luxurious black curls that will turn heads and make everyone a little jealous. Regular grooming will help keep him looking and feeling his best. At only 12 pounds, Shawn is an ideal size for apartment living and would make a perfect travel companion or shopping buddy. He is easy to take along and happy to be by your side wherever life takes you. Shawn arrives in New Jersey on February 1 and is ready to leave his past behind and be pampered like he truly deserves. If you are looking for a small, sweet companion to spoil and love, Shawn may be the perfect addition to your home.
