Shadow, 5 years old, neutered male, Labrador Retriever mix, 80 pounds. He is in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas and can transport once an adopter is approved. When we saw someone post about this guy needing help, we did not waste a second. He was dumped in a known dumping ground for animals outside of Houston. We never understand how this happens to these sweet souls. Meet Shadow — The Sweetest Gentleman 🖤 Shadow is the definition of a gentle soul. This affectionate, easygoing boy wins hearts everywhere he goes with his calm nature, soft eyes, and polite manners. He loves attention and will happily offer you his paw for a handshake before leaning in for kisses, but he’s just as content relaxing nearby or lounging on his own when it’s time to unwind. Shadow is fully house-trained and had zero accidents in his foster home. He enjoys spending time outside in nice weather, sometimes even making himself a cozy little “den” in the yard where he can relax and watch the world go by. He’s quiet, rarely barks, and is wonderfully well-mannered in the home. Dog Social & Gentle by Nature Shadow absolutely loves other dogs and greets them calmly and politely. He enjoys playing and is incredibly tolerant—even letting his canine friends climb all over him. He’s not possessive over food or toys and has shown excellent manners in group settings. He would thrive in a home with another friendly dog or with someone who’s around often, since he prefers companionship and can feel a little stressed if left alone too long. Personality & Training Shadow has a low-to-moderate energy level. He enjoys short walks and is improving on leash, though he’s still learning and can occasionally be a bit stubborn if he decides he’d rather not move. When that happens, he’ll let you pick him up without fuss—he’s just a big softie (literally and figuratively). He’s calm with strangers, did wonderfully at the vet, and seems comfortable around both men and women. Things to Know Not a fan of crates and may get stressed if confined alone Slightly unsure about cars and needs help getting in Likes soft toys and chew bones Curious but respectful around cats Best suited for a low-to-moderate activity home Shadow is a happy, gentle boy who simply wants a loving family to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal, calm companion who will shower you with affection and peaceful company, Shadow is ready to be your perfect match. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
