About Shadow

Shadow is a small Pomeranian with a nervous streak, shaped by a rough start in a crowded, neglected apartment. He tends to be wary of new people, but it makes sense given how he grew up—all packed in with dozens of other dogs, never getting the attention or cleanliness any dog deserves. He's done fine living with dogs his own size and has shared space with cats. Like many Poms, he's got a bark on him and can be vocal when he's unsure. Shadow's not the snuggly sort yet, so he needs adults who get that some dogs take time. Patience is key while he figures out a new, much cleaner routine, since house training may be a work in progress. Born May 29, he's a Gemini—probably why he's observant and a little unpredictable.
