Shadow Baby

My story

Shadow Baby was brought in as an owner surrender when his owner was moving and unable to take Shadow with them. His owner described him as medium energy and happy to see people. In the shelter, Shadow Baby has been very nervous in his kennel but flourishes once he is out getting attention from a handler! He's a smart boy who knows a few tricks for treats and pets. He's looking for a loving family to get him out of the shelter environment so he can flourish even more!

As soon as his kennel door is open, he’s loose bodied and excited to come out. He greets every person he meets with tail wags and leans in for pets. Outside, he has loose stool, probably from being stressed in kennel. He takes treats gently and knows sit, speak, and down. He plays with toys too. Shadow Baby is a good boy who wants to find a way out of ACCT ASAP. Per staff 5/30: Shadow Baby is sooo sweet!! He was great exiting kennel, waited for me to leash him, was very happy, tail wagging the entire time. I brought him into the volunteer office where he interacted with me and a few volunteers. He allowed all over handling, allowed me to play with his ears, check his teeth and hold his paw. He loved snuggling. He is a wonderful boy!!
