Shadow is a ten and a half year old German Shepherd mix who came into our care when her owner died. In spite of most likely being in extreme pain from severe dental disease, her friendly nature was obvious right from the start and her spirit and enjoyment of life shined through. She has been treated and nursed back to health and is now looking for a special person to adopt her.

While her health issues have been brought under control, she is an older dog and will need some daily medications for the rest of her life. Nobody knows how much healthy, happy time she has left, therefore the person who adopts her will have to be brave enough to give their heart to a dog knowing that they’ll only have a few years together at best.  

Shadow loves car rides, short walks, and just hanging out with her people. She gets along with other dogs and loves to play.  She’s actually a little too playful with cats, though she has lived with a cat in the past.  Therefore, we do think she would do best in a home without cats.  We don’t know how she feels about children, so we’re looking for an adult home for her as well.
