About Shinzo
Meet Shinzo 11 years old ⢠70 lbs ⢠McNab Mix Shinzo is a distinguished gentleman with a regal presence and a heart full of love. At 11 years old, this 70-pound McNab mix has left behind the hyper energy of youth and now enjoys a calmer, more balanced lifestyle. Heâs the perfect companion if youâre looking for a loyal dog who appreciates both leisurely walks and quiet naps by your side.While Shinzo may take a moment to observe new people before warming up, once he decides youâre a friend, he transforms into a total love bug. He gets along beautifully with the dogs in his foster home and is also wonderful with kids (though heâs not a fan of cats). Unlike many herding breeds, Shinzo is refreshingly mellowâhe rarely barks, and when he does, itâs with a deep, dignified voice.This boy has excellent house manners: heâs fully house-trained, uses a doggy door like a pro, and knows how to settle calmly indoors. Heâs a polite walker on leash and doesnât demand constant activityâjust enough exercise to stretch his legs and then heâs perfectly content to curl up next to you. Shinzo may nudge you with his nose if he feels ignored, but trust us, itâs impossible not to find it endearing.Shinzo doesnât need a throneâjust a loving home and a family who will cherish him for the sweet, gentle soul he is.
