Shadow

Shadow  - 5 yr old, approx 40 lbs, Neutered Male, Terrier/Collie Mix

​

Shadow is a smart, loyal, and energetic dog looking for an experienced owner who can provide leadership, training, and plenty of mental stimulation. In the right home, he will be the most devoted companion—true to his name, he’ll follow you everywhere!

What Shadow Needs:

✅ Experienced Owner – Someone who understands dogs and can provide structure and confidence.
✅ Training & Mental Stimulation – Scent training or agility would be a great way to channel his intelligence and energy.
✅ A Secure Yard – A fenced yard is a must; he’s athletic and can jump, so fencing should be at least 6 feet high.
✅ Another Dog? – He may thrive with a well-matched canine friend after a proper introduction.
❌ No Cats or Small Animals – Shadow has a strong prey drive.

❌ No Children - Adult only homes as he is nervous with children.

Shadow’s Story:

Shadow was rescued in 2021 as a young pup (around 6 months old) after being found in a rural California orchard with other abandoned dogs. Likely lacking early socialization, he was wary of humans at first. He found a loving home for eight months, but due to housing restrictions, he was sadly returned to our care. Now, he’s thriving in a rural setting with a pack of dogs, but he’s still searching for his forever home.

Shadow’s Personality & Training:

🐾 Bonded Once He Trusts You – He may be shy at first, but once he bonds, he’ll be your most loyal sidekick. Snuggles included!
🐾 Highly Intelligent & Food-Motivated – He excels with training, especially scent work and agility.
🐾 Leash Work in Progress – He walks well when engaged but needs continued training to avoid pulling.
