My story

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

Please contact Hayley Silverman (hayley.silverman@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Dark and handsome boy seeking fresh start and love!

SHADOW NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Shadow       Best Guess for Breed:   Shepherd and retriever mix 

Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of September 2025         SEX:  Male

 

Approximate Weight:   62 lbs

 

Gets Along With: Other dogs and maybe cats! (Shadow has been cat tested and was somewhat interested. He smelled them, waggy tail and all, but was shy when hissed at.) We are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
 

Currently Living at: DC area foster home

 

Shadow is Looking For:   This gorgeous, gorgeous dark and handsome boy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. Now he's looking for his own humans to trot alongside on those sniffy walks and adventures! Making new pup pals along and having plenty of opportunity to run and play is on his wish list along with quality kibble and a cushy dog bed too. But above all he wants to know where he belongs, to be under his own roof, to be safe and loved. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. 

What do you say? Is this one supposed to be your Shadow?

What Shadow's foster says about him: Shadow is a loyal, people‑loving boy who shines in any setting. Even at busy, chaotic adoption events, he stays calm and collected, with his steady presence. He gets along well with other dogs, but what he loves most is simply being near his person. Strong and stoic yet gentle on the leash, Shadow is the perfect companion for someone looking for a devoted friend who will walk by their side and bring comfort wherever they go.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
