Description:

This sweet boy arrived at MARS with a very, very sad story...

Once upon a time, Shadow belonged to a family. He was loved and cuddled and had lots of attention. Then one day, he got too big :( His family considered him a big clumsy nuisance. They sent him to live outside and ignored him. Shadow tried everything to get their attention and spend time with them. He would even take their toys so they would play with him. Sadly, they would just throw things at him and call him mean names.

One day, Shadow's evil mom hired a man to come dig a hole. When he arrived, he asked the woman how big of a hole she needed. "3 x 3", she said. "What are you putting in the hole?" he asked. "You see that dog over there? He keeps stealing the kids' toys and I can't catch him. I'm going to shoot him after you leave!” The handyman calmly stepped back, handed the woman her shovel, and said, "Thanks, but I’ll just take the dog with me".

Shadow is now living safely in a foster home. He is learning what life as a real dog entails. He had his first car ride, his first time on a leash, his first time in the house and his first hug from his new foster parents. Shadow is such a wonderful boy but will require someone with patience and leadership to show him the ropes. This sweet boy has lots to learn and lots to experience in life.

Shadow also requires yard with a physical fence.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
