Shadow
- Please read bio fully before applying -
We have a very important guest at our shelter, and it is time that we find him his home. He has a unique situation so please read thoroughly.
Shadow is a male Labrador, and approximately 3 years old. He came to us in a very unfortunate circumstance, with another dog. His buddy was easily rehomed but Shadow remained. We finally found such a great home for Shadow where he was loved so deeply. He got to figure out what the inside of a home looked like, go for lots of walks, learn new skills, and have new life experiences. Within all of these wonderful things, Shadow ended up displaying fear based behaviors that became a safety risk within the home. Which resulted in him coming back to us, which was in the best and safest interest of everyone. We clearly learned that Shadow had some deep rooted fears and needed a little extra help and guidance, so we reached out to the right resources. Shadow will be going into a professional training program starting in August. We truly know that this will help him learn a new way of living and trusting, just as he's always deserved. The problem were facing is his return. We understand that he cannot return in September to our shelter due to the lack of attention and proper environment. |
Shadow will need to go to a home that understands him, and is excited to take in a dog that's learned an amazing structure and way of living. One that will follow the things he's learned and keep it all fresh in his mind. And on top of that, give him a chance to just be a dog, so he can stop carrying all this weight on his shoulders.
When Shadow bonds with people, he bonds very closely and is such a joy to be with. We know he is going to THRIVE and someone is going to luck out with him. But we need to find that person first. If you are interested in meeting Shadow, we have the whole month of July for you to be able to come and spend lots of time with him before he takes off to his program. If you think that you would be the quiet and confident home for him, please message, email, or call us with a little bit of information about yourself and why you think you might be a match for him |
