Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I’m Shadow🐾
I may be a big guy, but don’t let that fool you — inside I’m just a gentle, loyal soul who wants nothing more than love, playtime, and a family to call my own.
My favorite things? Fetch and tug-of-war (seriously, I could play forever!), snuggling up after a good day of fun, and being around my people. I especially adore kids — I’m gentle and patient with them, even when they’re climbing on me. I think of myself as their big, furry protector.
Now, I’ll be honest with you. I get really excited when new people come over, and sometimes I jump or bark because I just can’t contain myself. I’m a strong boy and I pull on leash, so I need someone who can give me guidance and structure. I also like to let you know if someone is near the house — I take my job of keeping an eye out seriously!
I’m crate trained, I sleep in my kennel, and I do well there — though being cooped up too long makes me anxious. I even take some medication to help with that. But with love, patience, and training, I promise I’ll keep growing into the best version of myself.
The truth is, I just want what every dog wants: a family who understands me, who will play with me, give me structure, and love me for the big-hearted, sometimes goofy boy that I am.
If my perfect day sounds like your perfect day too — a walk, some fetch, dinner, cuddles, then doing it all over again tomorrow — then maybe we’re meant to be. ❤️
Love,
Shadow
PS: I live in Virginia
