Please meet Shadow! Shadow is an amazing 8 years young! She is a typical lab who LOVES to play with her tennis ball, she loves the water, short walks, exploring in the woods, playing with her tennis ball, going for rides in the car, a day at the dog park, or just hanging out with her humans! Did I mention Shadow LOVES playing with her tennis ball? lol She is very affectionate and snuggly, she completely ignores cats, she knows basic commands, she asks for permission before jumping on the sofa, and is quick to learn new things. She will follow you around the house, snuggle up with you in bed, lay next to you on the sofa, or sit at your feet, as long as she is close to you, she is happy.

Shadow was surrendered to Peaceful Passings Senior Animal Rescue because she was 'too big'. She has since lost 32 lbs and is being fed a strictly raw diet to help build and maintain muscle mass. She is showing some signs of her age - the gray on the muzzle, wear on her teeth (though the Vet says that some of that is from her great love of that tennis ball), and she's sometimes a little slow to get up after a long nap - but that doesn't stop her. She takes a daily Glucosamine/ Chondroitin mix and fish oil, which has helped a lot!

Shadow takes a while to warm up to some other dogs with strong personalities, but when introduced properly, does just fine. As long as they don't show aggression to her, she is perfectly friendly. She would probably do best in a house with more submissive siblings, or where she is the only dog, but with some coaching has become fast friends with my 2 big girls. It would be awesome if her human was retired or worked from home, so she can be near them. She would NOT do well left alone all day, everyday, even if there are other animals to keep her company.

This sweet lady will love and be loyal to her human until her last breath. All she needs is someone to love her back. Could that be YOU ?.
