About Shadow

Shadow is a quiet, gentle soul who has known hardship but never let it harden him. Now in his senior years, he prefers peaceful afternoons—car rides, curling up close as you watch TV, or simply sharing a sunset in silence. Shadow is easy to have around and finds comfort in people’s company, particularly if you don’t mind a friendly nap buddy. He gets along well with other dogs—he’s especially bonded to his pal Ryker, and ideally, they’d stay together in their new home. If you want calm, loyal companionship and a dog who really wants to be near you, Shadow is the kind of friend you’re hoping to find. Click apply to start the adoption process.
