This charming 2-year-old Black Lab/Shepherd mix has a heart full of love and is ready to find a home where he can share it.
Shadow gets around just fine on three legs after having his left front leg amputated in his early years and still embraces life with enthusiasm.
He loves spending time with people, sharing snacks, and joining in for errands or cozy naps at home. Shadow could thrive in an environment where he can take his time to settle in and show his affectionate and playful personality.
Whether it’s leisurely walks, relaxing movie nights, or exploring the backyard, Shadow is ready to make every moment more special.
Slow introductions help Shadow feel at ease, and once he’s comfortable, his gentle, friendly nature comes through. He has previously lived harmoniously with other dogs, cats, and even a young child, showing how adaptable he can be.
Shadow enjoys playful interactions and is up for making new friends, whether human or furry. With a little patience and encouragement, Shadow will reward you with endless loyalty and love.

Here’s what Shadow has to say:
“Hi there! My name is Shadow, though everyone calls me their shadow because I love being close to my favorite people. Sure, I’ve got three legs, but I don’t let that slow me down! I love going for walks and can keep up just fine, especially when I’ve got my harness on.
I might be a little shy at first, but with some tasty treats and a comfy spot to relax, I’ll be your best buddy in no time. I love playing with other friendly dogs, cats, and even kids—I’ve had a blast with all of them before! Car rides are a work in progress for me; I may hesitate at first, but once we’re moving, I start to be more relaxed.
My idea of a perfect day is pretty simple: a nice walk, a tasty snack, maybe some errands to run together, and then a good nap by your side. I enjoy meeting new people when we’re out, and I’ll let you know when someone visits our home—I just like to keep an eye out.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving buddy, I think we’d make a great pair. I’ve been patiently waiting since December 2024 to meet the right match, and I can’t wait to show you how much joy I can bring to your life. Come meet me soon—I’d love to be part of your world!”
