My story

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

Meet Shadow — the sweetest little heart looking for her second chance.

Shadow is a beautiful 1-year-old Black American Staffordshire/Pit Bull mix who was sadly surrendered by her owner, but she hasn’t let that dim her gentle spirit. This girl is pure love — soft, sweet, and so eager to belong to someone again.

Shadow is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and genuinely thrilled to make new friends. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or curling up beside you, she brings a warm, affectionate energy that melts your heart instantly. She’s also crate-trained and house-trained, making her an easy addition to any loving home.

Shadow is ready to be someone’s best friend — loyal, loving, and devoted. All she needs now is the family who sees her, chooses her, and never lets her go again.

If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, family-friendly companion with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love, Shadow is waiting.

To meet her in person, please fill out an adoption application. If you are using Adopt-a-Pet, you may click on the "Apply Online" button. If you are visiting us on Petfinder or other websites, please copy & paste this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HHRC/Dog
or apply directly on our website at househipporescue.org. We will get back to you within 72 hours.

All dogs are in foster homes -- meet-and-greets are by appointments and interested parties must fill out the application first. We do have adoption events once every few months.
