Story
Sweet senior Shadow, through no fault of her own, is looking for a second chance with a new family. Her previous family loved her very much but were unable to continue caring for her. Shadow is currently in a foster home; here is a note from her foster mom:
"Shadow is technically a senior gal, but you can’t mention it to her, she still has quite a bit of pep in her step! She’s got some sass and chattiness but it’s very much her playful nature.
Shadow is totally good to have smaller, easy-going male dogs as furbros. She currently lives with five other smaller dogs! Shadow is very curious of cats; as long as they tolerate her, she cohabitates very well. She has lived with kiddos ages 1-10 years old.
A fenced-in yard to roam in is something she has always had, so she would enjoy something similar, or some patience to work on leash manners.
Shadow knows no personal space and believes your space is hers and she’ll throw herself across your lap for close cuddles. The best thing about her is that, although compact, she is a full tank of happiness, no matter what! She weighs 47 pounds so she's not too big and isn't too small. Her absolute most “favoritest” thing in the world is when you let her believe she’s a lap dog, and just rub her belly!
She knows sit, lay down, and will take treats nicely, especially when you remind her. And she loves treats! She LOVES running around in the yard, especially in the snow. You’ll find her basking in the sun in the summer.
She’ll leave you alone for a while when you give her a bully stick, but you can expect her to join you once she’s done. She likes soft but durable dog toys but does like to take the stuffies apart, so heads up!
Shadow needs a second lease on life, at no fault of her own. Although she’s 9 years old and will be 10 this summer, she’s still got plenty of life left in her, and she deserves a family that will take a chance with her because she’s so full of love." -Shadow's foster mom.
Shadow is spayed and is waiting for a family to welcome her into their home. Please email us at pets@michianapets.org if you'd like to adopt her.
