Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am Shadow, and I am one of those hard-to-find female black retrievers known as flat coats. Based on the track record of the other flat coats that have been part of AGB I won't be around long because people fall in love with exotically beautiful beauties like us. I am about three years old, spayed, 55 pounds and up to date on vaccines. Unfortunately, I am heart worm positive so will have to spend about a month being treated (and cured!), but that doesn't mean that you can't put in an application and your name on me so that we can roll right out of the vet's office and off to our forever lives together the minute my treatments are done. I was a surrender to a Scottsboro animal shelter, believe it or not because my owners had a new puppy. Forgive and forget, because who can understand some humans, is what I say. My transporter describes me as shy at first (which seems to be something of a flat coat characteristic) but warming up quickly, after which I was very playful, super happy, and eager to give kisses. I got an A+ on car ride behavior, and I am good on a leash. You can see by my picture that if we wanted to make dog/people comparisons I would definitely qualify as an Elizabeth Taylor. Now picture yourself getting so many compliments for having such a glamorous and well behaved companion at the end of the leash.
