Shadow~sweet, gentle, and calm Shepherd & Labrador Retriever Mix Woodbury, CT

Meet Shadow~

If you’re looking for someone who will love you beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is your girl. Shadow is just about as loving as you can get! She thrives on attention and loves being pet. She’s always such a sweet and friendly girl, that's very quiet and calm too.

Shadow is a Lab mix, just over 1 year old. She’s was in shelter since 10/16/23, and is one of the many living in a pop up crate in one of the hallways due to space crisis.
She goes in and out of her crate nicely, and is very easy to leash up. She’s quite ladylike on leash, and enjoys going for walks!
Shadow is wonderful with other dogs, but chases cats.
Shadow is very interested in the noise squeaky toys make, but she hasn’t quite figured out how to play with toys yet. She’s a blank slate when it comes to tricks, and typically has a low energy level.
*Potty trained.

*The adoption fee is $450.00 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, leash and collar, ProHeart 12 (adults), and the mandatory CT HB 5368 exam.

BREED IDENTIFICATION:

Please understand that many rescue dogs are mixes of multiple breeds. Petfinder allows us to choose up to two breeds per dog. While the shelters and our rescue do our best in accurately identifying breeds, breed identification is not guaranteed. If there is a certain breed that you do not want, it is very important that you share this with our rescue when applying. When adopting a puppy, breed uncertainty plays a big part in the size/look of the dog as an adult. Please know that any puppy can be a wonderful dog, regardless of preconceived notions of certain breeds, but it is very important that the adopter has the dedication and patience to raise the puppy with boundaries, consistency, structure, & love. The more effort you give towards training & time you allow for exercise, your puppy will grow to be a HUGE source of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TOTAL LOYALTY, HAPPINESS, COMFORT & COMPANIONSHIP!

ABOUT OUR RESCUE:
We are a small rescue run by volunteers & focused on finding the right match for both our dogs & for you. If you are interested in adopting through our rescue, you first will need to complete an adoption application & be approved as a potential adopter before meeting any of our pups. No need to be intimidated by our application as it allows us to get to know you & your lifestyle. Of course, the more you can share the better! Please also note, while a fenced yard is fantastic, it is not required by our rescue, however, it may be required for a certain dog occasionally. Once adoption applicants are approved to become potential adopters, we offer private appointments where you can meet one or several dogs at the discretion of the rescue. We offer a unique & pleasant experience focused on finding the perfect match. It is extremely important to us that everyone is treated with respect & that NO ONE IS LEFT HANGING. WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS of application submission. If there is a dog you are eager to meet, please TEXT US DIRECTLY at 203-241-2351 so that we can check the status of your application and move it forward immediately. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find your new best friend.
*All adult dogs can be cat tested by request.
