SHADOW - AMERICAN BULLDOG / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Bulldog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Shadow – Your Laid-Back Best Friend for Life Shadow is the definition of an easygoing, loving companion. He’s turning 8 years old on July 31st and recently found himself in need of a new beginning after being surrendered by the only family he’s ever known. Despite the change, Shadow has taken everything in stride. He’s been incredibly polite and friendly with every person and dog he’s met, regardless of size! Shadow is the bestest boy on walks—he doesn’t pull, doesn’t bark at people or other dogs, and completely ignores squirrels! He’s fairly low-energy and doesn’t require tons of exercise, though he does love a good game of fetch (just don’t expect him to bring the ball back). Tennis balls and sticks are his absolute favorites—he’ll carry them around in his mouth and would be thrilled if you’d chase him a bit while he shows them off. Take a look at this cute video and this one of sweet Shadow! He’s not a huge cuddler, but he loves being close to his person—always nearby, always loyal. He’ll snuggle up at night if he’s not too warm, and he rarely barks unless someone’s entering the home (even then, it’s just to announce their arrival). Bonus? He barely sheds! If you’re looking for a mellow, playful, loving dog to share your life with, Shadow is ready to steal your heart—and your tennis balls. Shadow does need to take daily oral medication for H ypothyroidism. Shadow is from a Local owner surrender.
