Meet Shallah, the 55-pound fluffy senior dog with striking black and tan fur that shines like a star in the night sky! 🌌 This gentle giant is ready to embark on his next chapter with a loving family who can appreciate all the love he has to offer! Shallah is not just any dog; he's a loyal companion who has lived harmoniously with a teenager, another dog, and even two cheeky cats! 🐈🐕 His former owner couldn’t stop raving about his remarkable temperament around kids and cats, dubbing him an emotional support dog who sprinkled comfort and joy wherever he went—just think of the cozy cuddles! 🤗 Now, let's talk about his charming personality. While Shallah might welcome new people with a bit of bark, give him a moment, and he’ll warm right up to you, cradling your heart in those soft, fluffy paws! 🐾 He’s crate trained, snoozing peacefully when left alone, and sometimes even seeks out gentle attention—who doesn’t love a pet that knows how to ask for snuggles? His gentle heart is simply hard to resist! ❤️ Shallah's taste buds are up for an adventure, as he loves fresh foods and has an easygoing appetite—perfect for those who enjoy whipping up gourmet meals for their furry friends! 🍽️ However, keep in mind that Shallah can be a little dog-selective, so it's recommended that any resident dogs come along for a meet-and-greet to see if they make a good pack! 🐾 Now, it’s important to talk about his medical history. Shallah has had periodic seizures, often triggered by stress. But don’t fret! No seizure activity has been observed while at the shelter, and right now, he isn’t on any medication. However, potential adopters should be prepared for future vet follow-ups to keep his paws healthy and happy! 🩺 Shallah is a true gem with a kind nature, loyalty, and charm. He’s on the lookout for a calm and understanding home where he can continue being the loving companion he was born to be. Is this sweet soul the missing piece in your family puzzle? 🧩 Adopters, you are in luck! Shallah is eligible for an Adoption Audition—what’s that, you ask? It's a fabulous 5-day, no-strings-attached trial adoption period to see if he’s your perfect match! Just swing by the shelter during open hours to discuss this opportunity! To find out where Shallah is located, check the "shelter information" box—he could be at our Fairfax Campus or Lorton Campus. Both locations have friendly Customer Care staff who can't wait to help you meet this delightful dog! 🏡 Don’t wait—apply to adopt Shallah through the Buddy App! 🐕💖
