Nevada Humane Society, Carson City's Pet of the Week: Shrek
Happy Friday, Carson City, and say hello to our newest Pet of the Week, Shrek!
Ever dreamt of having your very own friendly ogre? Shrek's no swamp-dwelling fairy tale character, but he sure is a lovable, big-hearted dog searching for his forever home!
This larger-than-life guy has a personality as big as his namesake, with a penchant for bones and a love for car rides. At first, our gentle giant can be a tad wary of strangers - perhaps he's just waiting for his own fairy tale adventure to begin.
As he's shown in the shelter, daily confidence-building exercises have led him to gradually warm up, allowing his true affable nature to shine through. He will need to meet any other dogs that live in the home. We are unsure of how he will do with cats.
Here is what Shrek has to say about himself: "I am ready to meet my forever family! I need a consistent schedule, training, and plenty of stimulating toys to keep my creative genius focused on less destructive projects. My journey to full confidence may require a touch of patience and understanding, but with the right family, I know I'll be the best dog I can be. Due to my size and enthusiasm, I'm best suited for a home with adults who can appreciate my unique flair. Are you looking to embark on a transformative journey with a new companion? I might be your 'happily ever after'!
Shrek is free to adopt! You can meet him at the Carson City Nevada Humane Society at 549 Airport Road, Carson City, NV 89701, or by calling (775) 887-2171 to learn more. We are open every day from 11:00am-6:30pm.
