About this Dog
Meet Shadow – Your Laid-Back Best Friend for Life Shadow is the definition of an easygoing, loving companion. He’s turning 8 years old on July 31st and recently found himself in need of a new beginning after being surrendered by the only family he’s ever known. Despite the change, Shadow has taken everything in stride. He’s been incredibly polite and friendly with every person and dog he’s met, regardless of size! While his previous family said he wouldn’t do well with cats, small dogs, or young kids, he’s proven himself to be a calm and respectful guy in his foster home. (Cats still seem a little too interesting, though!) Shadow is the bestest boy on walks—he doesn’t pull, doesn’t bark at people or other dogs, and completely ignores squirrels! He’s fairly low-energy and doesn’t require tons of exercise, though he does love a good game of fetch (just don’t expect him to bring the ball back). Tennis balls and sticks are his absolute favorites—he’ll carry them around in his mouth and would be thrilled if you’d chase him a bit while he shows them off. Take a look at this cute video and this one of sweet Shadow! He’s not a huge cuddler, but he loves being close to his person—always nearby, always loyal. He’ll snuggle up at night if he’s not too warm, and he rarely barks unless someone’s entering the home (even then, it’s just to announce their arrival). Bonus? He barely sheds! If you’re looking for a mellow, playful, loving dog to share your life with, Shadow is ready to steal your heart—and your tennis balls. Shadow does need to take daily oral medication for H ypothyroidism. Shadow is from a Local owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Shadow and Receive Shadow's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Shadow's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shadow's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shadow, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shadow's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Shadow was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shadow’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shadow’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Shadow’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
