About Shadow

Meet Shadow, a distinguished gentleman at the age of 7, weighing 40 lbs. Found as a stray in northern Illinois, he has gracefully transitioned into foster life in Whitewater, WI. It’s hard to believe anyone would let this charming Schnauzer mix wander off in the first place. Shadow's friendly, smart, and full of personality. He loves people and gets along well with other dogs, happily wrestling with his small foster sibling, and is indifferent to cats. His chatty nature means he has a lot to say, and he believes each passerby deserves to hear his thoughts. He’s housebroken and well-behaved indoors, knowing essential commands like sit and stay. While he’s working through a little separation anxiety, it’s getting better each day. Shadow would thrive with a patient family ready to help build his confidence. His favorite pastimes include being brushed, bird watching, and enjoying the cozy moments in his favorite chair. A recent lipoma removal has him on the mend, and he’s ready to find his forever family to share his life with. This sweet, curly-headed guy is looking for that special connection. Make Shadow a part of your family and enjoy a lifetime of companionship. Click apply to start the adoption process.
