Shohei Rescued Us
A small rescue dog with a stroller, a giant personality, and a habit of stopping strangers in their tracks.
At Walmart, twenty people stopped to meet him.
Shohei is our rescue dog. We thought we were giving him a home, but somewhere along the way he gave us something much bigger back.
Everywhere we go, people stop us. They ask if he is a boy or a girl. They ask what kind of dog he is. They ask where we got him.
Most of all, they ask if they can pet him.
He rides through stores in his stroller like the king of the world, completely calm while people gather around him smiling.
So we created Shohei Rescued Us — a small rescue-support project inspired by one little rescue dog who somehow became everybody’s friend.
Long Day of Meet & Greets
After a full day of stroller rides, pets, questions, and smiling strangers, Shohei finally settles into his mommy’s arms.
Down Time
Somewhere between a rescue dog, working with daddy, and picking up his sister from work, our tiny celebrity takes some time for himself.
One Look Says It
His face somehow tells the entire story at once — soft, curious, calm, and completely impossible not to love.
