Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shaw loves everyone and everything! He was a victim of animal cruelty and was seized by law enforcement as a puppy. Unfortunately Shaw was considered evidence in his previous owner's trial so Shaw had to live at a holding facility until sentencing was complete. He spent the majority of his puppyhood confined to a dog run so now he's ready for ADVENTURE! Understandably, Shaw has a lot of energy right now and loves to play! The one thing that will stop him in his tracks is love. He's desperate for human attention and will do anything to get a belly rub and a snuggle. He loves other dogs but any canine siblings will need to be patient as Shaw is still learning good doggie manners.
Shaw has never had a loving owner, lived inside of a home or had anything more than his most basic needs met. Despite all of this, Shaw is the type of dog that you can take absolutely anywhere. He has a way of making everyone he meets feel loved and special. He would do best in a home with slightly older kids and/or adults as he's still an exuberant puppy and may knock small children over.
Shaw is a volunteer favorite :)

More about this rescue
After dogs are seized by law enforcement in relation to animal cruelty they're required to stay in a holding facility until their previous owner has been sentenced. This can be months or years. After sentencing, the dogs are no longer considered evidence and have a very short amount of time to find placement before being killed. Our organization strives to find responsible placements for all dogs involved in cruelty court cases and eliminate euthanasia for adoptable animals.
