About Shade

Meet Shade! This lovely 6-year-old Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd mix joined us with her brothers after being rescued from a challenging hoarding situation. When she arrived, Shade was scared and withdrawn, but her foster home has given her the space to start unfolding her personality. Her foster shared that while Shade is still timid, you can see her desire for love shining through. She seems housetrained and has bonded well with the other dog in the home. Shade isn’t fond of the crate but behaves well when it’s not in use. As she comes out of her shell, her potential shines brighter every day. We promised Shade that the rest of her life would be filled with love and joy. Could you be the one to give her that home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
