Proud Pack-Rhino
Creature — Rhino
When this creature enters, choose one —
• Put a shield counter on target permanent. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)
• Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
Rulings (10)
A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter—only the ones you want to add counters to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.

"Shield" is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.
