About Shadow

Shadow is in his foster home in Memphis, TN, and will be transported to NJ once adopted. At 7.5 years old and weighing around 80 pounds, Shadow is a friendly retriever mix who adores being around people. He is house-trained and loves curling up in bed with his human. With a lively spirit, Shadow requires someone strong who can manage his energy during walks. He needs a secure 6-foot privacy fence since he's quite the climber and can escape from chain-link fences. While he doesn’t get along with male dogs, he can coexist with larger female dogs. Shadow is fully vetted, with vaccinations, microchip, and neutering completed. His adoption fee is sponsored, covering transportation to NJ. Start your journey to meet Shadow today!
