Story
Shadow is a little over 1! He is a super energetic dog and loves to play! He is super smart and catches on to things quite quickly. He has completed a 3 week board and train and has done many one on one training sessions as well. He goes to a doggy daycare once a week and does super well with other dogs there! My hope is to find him a home where is not going to be in a kennel majority of the day and has plenty of time to stimulate him and play! I would love it if he had a yard to run! I have had him since he was a little puppy and am his only owner! He is such a softie and a great companion! He is a puller when it comes to walking on a leash but I have been working really hard with him on that and he is improving! He is a sucker for treats and popcorn! He is an avid toy destroyer if it has a squeaker and stuffing therefore he has lotsssss of harder chew toys!
