About Shadow

Meet Shadow: Ready to Leave the Past Behind! At just 10 months old, Shadow has already had quite the adventure, but this handsome boy is ready for a fresh start. Shadow is a medium-sized mixed breed with a delightful blend of Black Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd. He joined Take Paws Rescue after his owner faced homelessness and could no longer care for him and his three littermates. Living outdoors in an enclosure, Shadow managed to escape but returned with a wound that required medical attention. Thankfully, he's healed and is now at The Stray Cafe, looking for a loving home. Full of puppy energy, Shadow is friendly and playful, embodying the happy, goofy nature you'd expect from a young Lab/Aussie mix. He thrives on excitement and would do well with an active family who enjoys exercise, playtime, and continued training to help him become the wonderful adult dog he's meant to be. A large, secure yard for him to run and play is ideal; he would also be happy with another friendly dog at home or even as the only pet soaking up all the attention. Shadow has a little adventurous streak and deserves to experience all the comforts of being a cherished family dog. He’s ready for his second chance, waiting for someone to show him what forever really means. Click apply to start the adoption process.
