About Shadow

Meet Shadow, an adorable male Boxer mix just 12 weeks old and weighing 11 lbs. This little guy found himself in need of a new home because his previous owners weren’t allowed to keep him where they lived. Shadow is a friendly pup who thrives on human interaction. Currently, all our dogs, including Shadow, are in foster homes rather than a traditional shelter, so he’s getting personal care while awaiting a loving family. If you think you could be the right fit for him, the first step is to fill out an application online as we don’t accept them in person. Once approved, you’ll receive details about our adoption events, which showcase different animals each week. Shadow is altered and vaccinated, ready for a forever home. He’s waiting for someone special to take him home. Let’s make this happen!
