About Shady

Shady arrived at the shelter in need of care, and no one came forward to claim her. After a journey of recovery and nurturing, she surprised us with seven healthy puppies, who are now moving into foster-to-adopt homes. Shady has since been spayed and is ready for her next chapter in life. At around 3-4 years old, Shady is a large, affectionate dog who is house trained and excels on the leash. She shows her appreciation with sweet moans when you give her love. While she can be a bit selective with her dog friends, a proper introduction will help. All she needs now is a cozy couch and a loving companion to truly enjoy her retirement from motherhood. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
