At just 2 years old, Shadow has already faced more than most dogs ever should but youd never know it by the way he greets the worldwith a wagging tail and a heart full of love. Shadows past includes being shot, hit by a car, and left chained outside when his previous owner went to prison. Despite everything, he has held onto his gentle, happy-go-lucky spiritand its truly something special. He recently underwent a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) to repair his right hip and is on the road to recovery. Were hopeful this surgery will also help ease the discomfort in his arthritic knee. What he needs now is a soft place to land and a family who will continue cheering him on as he heals. Shadow absolutely adores peoplebig, small, and everyone in between. Hes the kind of dog who just wants to be near his humans, soaking up love and giving it right back. He could thrive as a family companion and would do great in a home where he can be part of everyday life. He can be selective with other dogs, so proper introductions are important, and he will need a cat-free home. After everything hes been through, Shadow deserves a life full of comfort, safety, and unconditional love. And in return? Youll get one of the most loyal, resilient, and loving companions you could ever ask for. <em>You can give Shadow the happy ending hes been waiting for.</em> Shadow has completed his vet care (neuter, vaccines, microchip) and cannot wait to meet you!
