Shadow

My story

Meet Shadow, we think he is a Chihuahua/Kelpie mix. No guarantees though! Shadow is about a year old and weighs in at 18 lbs. Just the right size for your lap (at least that’s what he thinks). Shadow loves to play with toys (especially the squeaky ones), he also loves to run in the yard and he is pretty fast! As a crate-trained pup, Shadow does the indoor/outdoor thing to a T. Outside he will play chase and retrieve with any squeaky toy (the smaller ones that can be thrown farther are his favorites!), and inside he is comfortable on his person’s lap, watching TV or reading a book (you, not him). He is a little cautious and wary when meeting new people (especially men) or new dogs, but once he knows your intentions are good, he warms up. He is respectful of the older, smaller dogs when they choose not to play, but he loves to play chase and wrestle with his special playmate in his foster home. Once he trusts you he forms deep connections with humans, craving affection and companionship. We think he would be good with older kids, again, once he gets to know them – but he’s a little too rambunctious and bouncy for toddlers. He is very bright and wants to please so is wide open to training. He needs someone to be patient with him as he adjusts to new people and places.
