✨ Meet Shadow, the most endearing 1.5-year-old male Lab/German Shepherd mix who weighs around 55 pounds of pure potential! This sweet soul has been with the rescue since he was a tiny pup of six months. His journey has been one of growth, as he’s gone from a shy little guy to a more confident canine! 🎉 Thanks to some special time with a trainer, his playful spirit is finally peeking out, and he's ready to find a loving family who will embrace him with warmth and understanding. Imagine welcoming this gentle spirit into your home. Shadow is on a quest for acceptance and affection, and he thrives on love and reassurance. He would really thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard, where he can run freely and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️ Each wag of his tail is a testament to the love he's ready to give! 🐾 Now, about his preference for a quieter environment: Shadow is best suited for a home with older children or adults. Why? Because while he’s as gentle as a breeze and wouldn’t hurt a fly, small, fast-moving children might startle him. Shadow has a history of loving interactions with other dogs and even cats, making him the perfect companion for your multi-pet household! His foster said it best: "Shadow is an extraordinary dog; he just isn't sure how to show it yet! His heart is filled with love!" ❤️ Don't you want to be the one to help him let it shine? With a reduced adoption fee of $250, this is your opportunity to change a life while enhancing your own in the most beautiful way! Shadow is eagerly waiting for you to apply through the Buddy App! Don't miss out on the chance to bring this wonderful boy into your home!
