SHADOW - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / ROTTWEILER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Rottweiler / Mixed (medium coat). Shadow has been such a gentle soul, a calming presence during his time in the shelter. You’ll be as shocked as we were when we found out that Shadow was surrendered due to being destructive when left alone. Though this seems very surprising, it may be beneficial for Shadow to work on crate training in his new home! This could help him feel more secure and safe when his people are away. We have not seen any destructive behaviors in the shelter, so we do believe that this behavior stems from feeling nervous when alone. We like to describe Shadow as a young 11. For 11 years old he seriously gets around great! He loves going out on walks and will never shy away from a game of tug-o-war. Seeing his goofy side will certainly put a smile on your face. Shadow is looking for a more cool and collected lifestyle. Don't get us wrong, regular exercise is great but it would be so nice for him if he could come home after a walk and snuggle up with his person. Shadow is a pretty easy guy. He is potty trained, walks great on a leash and knows the cues “sit” and “down. Shadow has done well with children but can be a little intimidated with rough housing. This is one of the reasons why we imagine him being happiest with a calmer lifestyle. Though we have not seen any reactivity towards other dogs in the shelter, his previous owner noted that Shadow does not always get along with other male dogs. He may have a more dominant personality when it comes to other dogs. Tolerable or submissive females would be a better match for Shadow. We will require a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if you have other dogs in your home; just to ensure that Shadow and your dog will be compatible! Shadow lives for attention. Pets, snuggles and butt scratches are some of his favorite things. We truly believe that he deserves to feel spoiled for the rest of his life! If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Shadow, we encourage you to meet him!
