About Shadow

Shadow doesn’t just lurk; he’s all about exploration and investigation. This lively mixed breed dog is three years old and exhibits curiosity in every nook and cranny. He’s got a boisterous personality, is eager to connect, and is a total sweetheart when it comes to kindness—just a few butt scratches and you’ll have his heart. A notable feature is the pink bump in his left eye, what's known as a cherry eye. It’s a common condition that’s fixable, and surgery with our vet partners is already on the calendar. For now, he’s open to foster-to-adopt options, so don’t let that delay your interest in bringing him home. Shadow can be selective with other dogs, so a meet-and-greet is a good idea. He’s great with kids ages six and up and may get along with younger kids after a proper introduction, while his compatibility with cats remains unknown—ideally, a savvy cat might be best.
