What kind of home would be best for me? Shadow is looking for an energetic adopter who’s ready to give him plenty of love and attention. In return, he doesn’t care whether you’re single, a couple, or a family—though if you ask him, he’d tell you his dream home includes kids! Shadow absolutely adores children. Because he’s a big guy who loves to jump up and give hugs, we recommend children in the home be at least 10 years old.

While Shadow could adapt to apartment living, he’ll need plenty of daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. Ideally, he’d love a home with a fenced yard where he can safely run and play—especially if there are kids or other dogs to play with. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys canine playtime. He may be a bit too energetic for most cats.

What is my personality like? Say hello to Shadow, a handsome, loving, and active boy looking for his forever home. He came to us as a breeder release, but unlike many dogs in that situation, Shadow is already well-socialized—he loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and has a cheerful, go-with-the-flow attitude.

Shadow will benefit from leash training and learning basic commands like sit, stay, down, and come. With daily practice, affection, and tasty treats, Shadow will pick things up quickly. Not only will this boost his confidence, but it will also strengthen the bond between you and your new best friend.

Shadow is an affectionate, goofy lovebug who thrives on attention. If you’re not showering him with love, he’ll be quick to jump up and give you a big bear hug—he’s even been known to dance around the room with his humans! If there were a canine ballroom competition, Shadow would be a champion. That said, he’s a big boy, so working on his manners will help channel all that love in a more polite direction.

Shadow is truly a special dog who will bring endless love and happiness into the life of whoever is lucky enough to adopt him. Once he’s in your home, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Shadow is a social butterfly—he loves meeting new people and absolutely ADORES children.

Other tips and tidbits: Shadow was born on 06/11/2023.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
