Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*GERMAN SHEPHERD OR WORKING DOG EXPERIENCE ONLY*
Meet our fun, young German Shepherd mix boy named Shadow! He is about 1 year old and he is a really friendly guy! Shadow came to us from a neglect situation and was surrendered to our shelter for proper care. Despite coming from this situation, Shadow is an outgoing and sweet boy who loves people! Shadow is very smart and already knows multiple commands. He likes to chase tennis balls around outside in our backyard. He is very food motivated. Shadow lived with another dog and has shown to be fine with dogs while at our shelter. Shadow is looking for his forever family who will never leave him wanting for anything again! Shadow is a bit grabby when it come to food and treats, but who can blame him after what he has been through?! Due to this, he can go to a home with children 12 years and older who have larger dog experience. Shadow is an active dog who will need to be provided with adequate exercise and stimulation to keep him happy. We are looking for an active family to adopt Shadow.
If you are interested in adopting Shadow, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00.
