About Shadow

Meet Shadow, a delightful blend of playfulness and cuddle-loving charm. This handsome senior dog, estimated to be about 8 years old, has overcome a tough journey and is ready to find his forever home. Although he was once adopted, life took a turn that led him back to a shelter until PAWS found him a loving second chance. Shadow still has plenty of energy to enjoy some playtime in the yard, soaking up the sun before settling down for a cozy cuddle session. He's fully housetrained and walks nicely on a leash with a harness. Shadow thrives when left loose in the house, as he’s proven himself trustworthy without needing a crate. While he gets along well with children over 12, he prefers to be the only dog in the home. If you have a calm, easygoing female companion, he might consider sharing his space. Above all, Shadow seeks a loving environment where he can feel safe and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who balances fun and relaxation perfectly, Shadow might just be the dog for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
