Meet Shadow, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his frame! This 19-month-old Shepherd/Retriever mix is a whopping 85 lbs of love and kindness, and he's just waiting for a forever home. Can you imagine the joy he could bring to your life? Shadow is looking for a loving family after his previous owners faced an unexpected housing situation – poor guy just wants to be loved! Shadow is housebroken, knows how to sit, and takes treats like a champ when told to be ‘gentle’ – talk about a sweet boy! He may pull a little on his walks when he’s busy enjoying all the new sights, but with a little patience, he'll be your perfect walking buddy! 🐕💖 And let's talk about his hobbies! Shadow loves squeaky toys and proves that he’s a true retriever by burying his bones like a pro! He enjoys being brushed (who doesn’t love a little pampering?), but baths aren’t exactly his favorite thing—yet he’s such a good boy during them! 🛁✨ Don’t be surprised if he barks at squirrels or unfamiliar faces at first; once he hears a friendly voice, he quickly transforms into a loving friend! When he’s out and about, he’s all about soaking up the affection from kind humans and is more than happy to be petted! Shadow thrives in environments with adults or older children, ensuring everyone is happy and safe. Speaking of friends, he previously shared a home with another dog and got along splendidly. He’s observant and curious about cats, so slow introductions are recommended to ensure a harmonious home. Just imagine the joy and laughter he could bring into your life! 🐾❤️ This sweet, beautiful boy is eagerly awaiting his forever family. Are you ready to open your heart and home to Shadow?
