About me Hello, I'm Shadow. I'm as sweet as honey, mellow as a summer breeze, and as friendly as your favorite neighbor. My gentleness is my superpower, it makes me great company. I'm not one for hogging, I'll gladly share my dog bed with a housemate. Life is better when shared, don't you think? My days are filled with wagging tails and soft snores, but I know there's more out there. I dream of a family, a home to call my own. If you're looking for a loyal friend, a gentle soul to share your life with, consider adopting me. I promise to fill your home with love and tranquility. My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip!
