Meet Shadoe! 💕 Your New Shadow and Professional Butt-Wiggler!
True to her name, Shadoe loves being near her people, although she's becoming more independent as she settles into her home. She's still interested in what's going on around her, but no longer feels the need to follow you from room to room every minute. This sweet girl is a wonderful mix of playful energy and cozy couch companion, with a whole lot of love to give!
Shadoe loves attention and pets and isn't shy about asking for them. Her signature move? Grabbing a toy, wiggling her butt, and getting her entire body involved in the celebration! She'll happily carry just about any toy around the house, including cat toys (LOL), and enjoys a game of fetch, even if bringing the toy back is optional. She's also respectful of household belongings that aren't toys. And if you hear a little snoring during naptime, don't worry—it's just Shadoe catching up on her beauty sleep!
Shadoe enjoys two walks a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. She gets bursts of playful energy but is equally happy to settle down beside her favorite person for some relaxation. She's making nice progress with her leash manners and is becoming more comfortable walking around the yard, with much less pulling than when she first arrived. She may still pull at times and bark when she spots people or other dogs outside, so continued positive training and encouragement will help her keep building confidence.
When visitors arrive, Shadoe may announce their presence with a bark, but her wagging tail and wiggly body quickly reveal her excitement. She loves meeting people and leans in for pets and affection. She currently shares her home with a resident dog, a resident cat, and two foster cats. She's curious about cats but has shown that she can respect their boundaries. Shadoe is great with older kids, though her enthusiastic greetings and full-body wiggles could accidentally knock over younger children.
Shadoe's love of freedom is no secret! 😂 She's happiest when she can relax and enjoy the comforts of home without being confined. She's quite the escape artist when it comes to kennels and crates, so kenneling or crating is not an option for her. Fortunately, she's trusted with freedom in the home and is much more comfortable and content when she has room to roam. She appreciates having the ability to choose her own cozy spot rather than being confined.
Shadoe came from a home where she spent most of her time in a bedroom, with limited exposure to the outside world. Her previous living conditions were not ideal, and she is still discovering all the wonderful things life has to offer. Despite her past, she's an incredibly friendly, sweet girl who is eager to connect with people. Some everyday sights, sounds, and experiences may still be unfamiliar or overwhelming, so she'll appreciate a family willing to offer patience, reassurance, and time as she continues to blossom.
At night, Shadoe enjoys sleeping on her dog bed beside her person's bed, although she'd probably be delighted to share the bed if invited! She had a couple of accidents when she first arrived but has since been doing her business outside without issues. She also knows basic commands and sits nicely for treats.
Shadoe would love a home where someone is around to keep her company and where she can enjoy the comforts of a predictable, loving environment. She's made wonderful progress, and her growing confidence is a joy to see. She'll happily join you for walks and playtime, entertain you with her silly antics, and then curl up beside you when it's time to relax.
If you're looking for a loving companion with a wiggly personality, a big heart, and plenty of affection to share, Shadoe might just be the perfect girl to follow you home! 💗
You may notice that they are sporting a Fi GPS collar! We use these trackers for some of our dogs who may be a little nervous or more likely to wander. It's just one more way we help keep them safe. Best of all, the collar will go home with them when adopted! Interested in learning more? Just ask our team, and we'd be happy to share the details.
