Shadow is a 7-year-old, 12-pound neutered male terrier mix with a gentle, affectionate personality. He’s the kind of little companion who enjoys the company of both people and animals—he gets along well with other dogs and cats. Shadow hasn’t met very young children yet, so it’s unclear how he’d do around them. Like many small dogs, he’s initially unsure with new faces, but he warms to people and animals quickly. His activity level is mostly low, with the occasional burst of playful zoomies. He adores attention and will happily settle in for a cuddle. Once he trusts you, he’s fine with being picked up. Shadow rarely barks, reserving his voice for when someone new arrives at the house. One habit to note: he’s currently marking inside, and this might improve in a home without other dogs or with only female dogs. Shadow came from a tough background; after losing his original owner and experiencing instability, he’s ready for a calm, loving home that continues to show him life can be sweet.
