Adoption Fee: $750Meet Shapeshifter – Your Snuggly Sidekick in Disguise 1–2 years old | 20 lbs | Schnoodle (Schnauzer + Poodle) | Low-shedding
Some dogs are cute. Some are sweet. And then there's Shapeshifter—a gentle, goofy, ever-evolving ball of love who seems to magically adjust to whatever form your day needs. Cuddle buddy? Check. Couch ornament? Check. Walk enthusiast? Absolutely. Emotional support muppet? Without question.
At 20 lbs of low-shedding softness, Shapeshifter is a perfectly portable best friend. He may not transform into a car like a Transformer, but he will morph into your footrest, your lap-warmer, and your second shadow the moment you bring him home.
When he first arrived, he was quiet and unsure, cautiously peeking around corners like a shy magical creature. But give him a little time and—poof!—he reveals his true form: loyal, loving, curious, and completely smitten with his humans. These days, he follows his foster from room to room like a low-key little shadow with excellent hair.
Highlights of this shape-shifting sweetheart:


Loves everyone he meets, but will love you most of all.


Gentle and polite with other dogs on walks.


Totally housetrained and crate-tolerant (although he will sigh dramatically for 15 minutes at bedtime).


Quiet as a mouse. A fluffy, curly mouse who just wants to be near you.


Has only very mild “sock thief” tendencies. They’re more like pranks than crimes.


Loves walks, but will not drag you—he’s more of a sniff-and-stroll kind of guy.


Favorite activities include transforming into a blanket on the couch, shapeshifting into your personal shadow, and morphing into a puddle of snuggles.


Shapeshifter would thrive with someone who works from home or wants a gentle office buddy (Google campus dog lovers, take note). He’s a low-drama, high-affection, moderate-energy kind of guy who adapts beautifully to routines and is content just being close.
If you’re looking for a calm, loyal, sweet-natured pup who changes shape only to better fit in your heart—Shapeshifter is ready to become your forever form.
