DNA breed results coming soon!<br/>Shadow can be nervous at first, especially outdoors or in unfamiliar situations, and will need a calm, patient adopter who understands that confidence takes time. Shadow is still learning leash skills and does best with routine, clear boundaries, and a steady presence that helps him regulate when things feel overwhelming.<br/>Once Shadow feels secure, his true personality shines. He forms deep bonds, shows genuine affection, and enjoys quiet companionship - often choosing to relax close to his person. He is friendly with other dogs once he's comfortable in the space and absolutely loves toys, which bring out his playful side.<br/>Shadow is house trained, crate trained, and continuing to learn that comfort and safety can exist beyond hiding away from the world. He would do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with a securely fenced yard and an adopter who values gentle, trust-based progress over rushing milestones. Experience with nervous or sensitive dogs is a huge plus.<br/>Shadow is looking for someone willing to support and love him as he continues to grow and gain confidence.
