About me

Shadow is a sweet and affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He's a cuddle bug who will happily curl up next you after a day of fun or lean into you for pets. Shadow has a playful puppy side (he's still young), and he enjoys going for walks, exploring new environments, and playing with all kinds of toys. He would absolutely thrive in a home with a yard where he can run and play to his heart's content! While he can be a bit hesitant when encountering unfamiliar situations, Shadow warms up quickly with a little patience, encouragement, and a gentle approach. He's a smart boy who is eager to please and is already learning basic commands like "sit" and "paw." He's generally relaxed and easygoing, happy to go with the flow and spend time with his people, whether it's playing fetch, going for a stroll, or simply hanging out at home. Shadow has shown some signs of resource guarding with food, so his new family will need to be aware of this and work with him to build trust and ensure everyone's safety around treats and mealtimes. With a little understanding and positive reinforcement, Shadow is sure to overcome this. He's a truly special dog who deserves a loving forever home with experienced dog owners who can help him continue to build his confidence. Shadow has some unique genetic quirks that give his paws/ toes a slightly different appearance than most dogs. He'll need a loving person or family who can help him establish care with a veterinarian for regular checkups to ensure he stays happy and healthy long term.
