My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We're ready to find a caring home for a sweet little guy who struggles with fear/anxiety but sure plays a mean game of fetch. Let us tell you all about Shadow.

At 8 years old, Shadow is a sensible adult dog. He's well past puppy theatrics and now knows a lot more about himself and what he wants out of his life, namely adult humans to play with each day. Shadow is a shy guy. He does much better with adults who respect his space and allow him to make the first move -- and then he's eager to solicit affection and play.

He came into foster care with us when his family started caring for a small child, and he became really uncomfortable. With his foster mom, Chandice, Shadow is doing quite well. He loves having a routine with a trusted adult and no kids or other animals in the home. Chandice says that Shadow can be somewhat reactive to dogs outside, but he is good at communicating when he is feeling stressed.

"Shadow needs to feel comfortable. Whoever adopts Shadow will need to be very patient with him. He loves playing catch with his squeaky small balls! Shadow will be a great little companion for the right person who will have patience with him."

We'd love to find some patient, quiet adults who can give this little man a comfortable home. Adopters with shy/fearful dog experience would be a great fit for Shadow, and we'll provide more support and resources to anyone interested in making him a member of the family.
