I created Shingo's Palace after years of caring for animals and after sharing my life with my beloved Labrador, Shingo.

My goal is simple: provide a safe, loving, cage-free environment where dogs feel like family.

Every guest receives personalized care, daily attention, and plenty of playtime in a secure home setting.

She is approximately 7 years old, a Pit Bull Mix, and is not currently spayed. Despite the difficult circumstances that brought her here, Lexy is a gentle, loving dog with a sweet personality and a calm presence.

We would love to find her a responsible family who can give her stability, affection, and the security of a true forever home.

Shingo, the dog who inspired the name Shingo's Palace

Our Story

Born from the love for Shingo.

Shingo's Palace was born from the love for one very special dog — my chocolate Labrador, Shingo.

For 14 years, he was my loyal companion through every stage of life, teaching me the true meaning of trust, patience, and unconditional love.

Today, that same love and care lives in every dog that walks through our doors. At Shingo's Palace, we strive to create a safe, peaceful, and happy environment where pets feel part of the family.
