Meet Shadow!

SHADOW is ready for the holidays and all this cuddly 2 year old sweetheart wants for Christmas is a family of her own finally! Shadow does not mind living with cats and is very mellow and easygoing for her age. She does not need a large yard or tons of exercise, she prefers lounging on the couch with you chewing on bones and going on leisurely walks around the neighborhood. Shadow is well mannered and non destructive inside the house and has no separation anxiety when left alone. She may get the zoomies once in a while and even play with toys if you get her going but her rare bursts of energy are mostly contained to getting excited and even jumping up once when her favorite human comes home from work and when it's time to eat. Shadow loooves food, she ll do tricks for just kibble and anything for treats. Shadow loves dog friendly kids! She can be a little scared of new adult people and need a minute to warm up sometimes but nice kids, she’ll love right away. Shadow knows Sit and Down and Wait and Stay and a few other tricks like Spin and Shake and Touch. Shadow’s favorite activity besides napping and eating is chewing on bones and kongs and work on food puzzles, she is Extremely food motivated. Shadow is a little shy at first when meeting new people, she may even bark at strangers because she’s worried about them, but it just takes a few minutes and some treats to become her new best friend. She also gets scared at busy or new places, like at the groomer’s or the vet’s but will allow all handling and relax with some treats. Food and treats, always the way to this girl’s heart. Shadow would do well being the only dog in the home but has lived with other dogs in foster care and done very well also, she prefers males usually but it depends. Meet and greets are required if she were to live with another dog. Shadow has enjoyed playing and running around with some of her foster siblings but not gotten along with others. As long as the other dogs are well balanced and easy going also and don’t try to take her food or chews away. Feeding separately is absolutely necessary as well as being separated for chew/treat times. Currently Shadow is living with a cat in her foster home with no issues, they hang out together peacefully. She also goes to the dog park when it’s not super crowded and has made many doggie friends she plays with nicely. Shadow is a 2 year old Akita mix, about 70 pounds, spayed, chipped and UTD on all shots. Please contact foster for any other questions at (714) 224-9432 and fill out an application on our website.
