About Shadow

Shadow is a lively 1.5-year-old male with a stunning long coat that draws attention. He embodies the playful spirit and snuggly nature of a true Velcro dog. His adorable sploot and perfect head tilt surely melt hearts, and belly rubs are his ultimate favorite. He enjoys long walks, exploring and sniffing every intriguing scent along the way. Shadow has a rough-and-tumble play style, particularly with other dogs, and seems to prefer playmates who are female. Ideally, his forever home would include at least one playful female dog who loves to wrestle. Though he's affectionate with those he knows, he remains wary of new faces due to his past socialization challenges. While crating isn't his favorite, he is housetrained and can handle being in a designated area. He would thrive in an active adult-only home committed to continuous training and socialization. If you believe Shadow would be a good match for you, don’t hesitate to apply!
