Meet the incredible Shadow! 🌟 This charming female Australian Shepherd was born around September 2024, and let me tell you, she is a true gem! 💖 Now, Shadow isn’t your typical pup; she has the double merle gene, which brings some unique flair to her life—she is deaf and partially blind. But don’t you worry, this doesn’t stop her from being playful and spirited. She has a delightful personality, and who knows? She could be your lively running buddy or your beloved couch potato! 🐾 Owning a sweetheart like Shadow means embracing her quirks! She's a little shy and needs some extra time to feel at home. With a predictable routine, you're sure to see her sweet and playful side shine through! 🌈 However, like the gentle soul she is, she needs time to adjust to new surroundings, so patience is key! Now, let’s talk about walks! Shadow loves getting her steps in, but because of her special needs, she requires a fenced yard or a strict leash walk. She’s doing fabulously well on the leash and adores her outside playtime. 🏃‍♀️ And when it comes to friends, she gets along beautifully with calm, easygoing dogs who won’t startle her. She thrives with a little bit of wrestling and playtime with her furry pals! 🎉 Shadow is looking for a loving home with an attentive owner who will embrace her unique way of learning. She’s a gentle-hearted girl who just needs a little extra time and love to feel safe. The world can be a scary place for someone like her, but with the right family, she’s ready to bloom into the vibrant, joyful dog she is! 🌻 Shadow is currently being fostered in Richmond, VA, and she’s up to date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption fee is $375, which goes towards her care while in foster. To adopt this precious girl and bring her home, you must apply through the Buddy App! 💌 Let’s give Shadow the loving family she’s been waiting for!
