Shadow is about 2 years old, neutered, housetrained, current on healthcare, microchipped, crate trained and cute as a button. At only 35 pounds, he loves to lay on your lap for a little while in the evening and he’s the perfect size for it. He knows sit, paw, down (lay down) and is extremely well behaved in the house. Will jump on and sleep on the sofa.
Shadow is GREAT with other dogs and lives with two female canines in his foster home. He also lived with other dogs in his previous home. (Three dogs from this household were surrendered to the shelter due to housing problems, which is a common theme these days.)
But, Shadow’s main focus will be YOU. He loves human attention and will cover your face with kisses. Always so eager to please, he hates when you must leave him. For this reason, we recommend a very sturdy crate, such as the one shown in the photos. He has destroyed the latches on lesser crates.
Shadow eats his meals in his crate, gets a peanut butter Kong in there every afternoon, and sleeps in the crate through the night, where you will not hear a peep out of him. In the morning, he will wait patiently to be let out. He is not a very “barky” dog, but he will let you know when a visitor arrives or a strange animal is in the vicinity.
He loves to ride in the car and does not get carsick. He will jump right in the car and we use a harness and seatbelt for his safety. A fenced yard is preferred.

Additional adoption info
We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.
Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.
Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.
