Meet Shrimp, a dog whose personality matches his unique name. When it comes to shrimp, he is definitely of the colossal variety, weighing in at 60 pounds. He`s a bundle of energy, always ready to play and explore. His curiosity knows no bounds and he is very alert to his surroundings. Shrimp is a friendly soul, but he`s also a bit shy and wary, which only adds to his charm. He`s brave and resilient, having faced life`s challenges with a wagging tail. Shrimp is a cuddly companion, always ready to shower you with kisses. He is a great lap dog and loves to be petted. His happiness is infectious, and his strength inspiring as he leads the way on a leash and occasionally jumps from excitement. We don`t know if he is house trained but he seems to know a bit about the process. Please be patient a you continue to work with him. We haven`t seen him interact with dogs yet or children but his fearful behavior when first arriving at CAP is leading us to require that children be at least 15 years old. Shrimp deserves a loving home where his playful spirit can shine and his love can be returned in kind. (tw 1/15/2025)
