Meet Shay: Your Sofa-Sidekick with a Snort and a Smile

 

Looking for a dog who’s equal parts couch potato, hiking buddy, and professional pig whisperer? Say hello to Shay, the Frenchie with a heart as big as her ears (and trust us, those ears have stories to tell).

 

Shay is a goofy, affectionate, and wildly endearing pup who’s mastered the art of snuggling, wrestling, and stealing snacks when you’re not looking. She’s got a soft spot for sofas, flirt poles, and her foster sister—whom she loves to body slam in friendly play matches. If you sit down, she’ll be right there beside you, ready to binge-watch whatever you’re into (she doesn’t judge your taste in reality TV).

 

♥ Social Butterfly (With a Twist)

  • Off-leash in the yard? She’s a social queen, mingling with dogs big and small.
  • On leash or behind barriers? She’s got opinions—and she’s not afraid to bark them.
  • Cats, pigs, baby goats? Totally cool. Birds and gerbils? TBD.
  • Would love a doggy sibling to roughhouse and nap with.

 

♥ Spa-Ready & Low-Maintenance (Mostly)

  • Shay’s got some skin and ear quirks—regular baths and ear cleanings keep her comfy.
  • She’s had ear hematoma surgery and is spayed.
  • Not currently on meds but may need Cytopoint injections during allergy flare-ups.
  • Handles grooming like a pro—nail trims, ear flushes, you name it.

 

♥ Dream Home Checklist

  • Fenced yard for zoomies and doggy meetups.
  • A dog friend to wrestle and snuggle with.
  • Humans who appreciate a little mischief (she will table surf if chairs aren’t tucked in).
  • Someone who’s cool with a little poop-snacking on hikes (it’s being worked on).
  • Crate-trained, 97% housebroken, and ready to be your shadow.
  • Best suited for dog-savvy kids aged 8 and up—Shay gets very excited when meeting new people and tends to jump up in her greetings. She wouldn’t mean to, but she could easily knock over a smaller child in her enthusiasm.

 

Shay doesn’t need someone around 24/7, but she thrives with love, play, and a good nap buddy. She’s the kind of dog who’ll wrestle on top of you, then curl up beside you like she’s never caused a ruckus in her life.
