About the author
Zero Woofs Given Press
9 booksZero Woofs Given was born out of one sarcastic human’s lifelong gripe with the sugarcoated nonsense you find in most dog books. Founded by Shannon — a snarky, lifelong dog devotee, dog professional of 20+ years, and proud Rottweiler mom to Rowan and Rip — this little operation rolls across the West Coast in a camper stuffed with dog hair, coffee mugs, and the occasional muddy paw print on the dashboard.
After two decades in the dog world doing just about everything (and watching far too many pups land in shelters thanks to clueless “owners”), Shannon decided enough was enough. Zero Woofs Given is her mission to call bullshit on the cutesy breed fairy tales and tell you the truth: which dogs will steal your bed, eat your drywall, ignore your kids, or blow your savings on vet bills — all so fewer dogs end up dumped when reality smacks people in the face.
Right now, she’s laser-focused on purebreds, but the so-called “designer dogs” are next on her list (brace yourself, doodle fans). Through every brutally honest page, Shannon hopes you’ll find the gut-level guidance you actually need to pick the right dog for your real life — and maybe feel like you’ve met a kindred spirit who’s fluent in sarcasm as a love language.
If you’re hunting for fluff, platitudes, or promises that every breed is “perfect for kids,” keep walking. But if you want the messy, hilarious, sometimes uncomfortable truth — served with sarcasm, a wink and a Rottie side-eye — welcome home.
