History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: Are you looking for a loyal companion in all of your daily activities? Shadow is ready to report for duty! This sweet girl wants nothing more than to keep you company no matter what you're doing! Walking around tidying up? She'll trot along behind you until everything is done. Sitting at a desk/table to get some work done? She'll curl up under your chair, or even better, on a blanket by your feet. Relaxing on the couch? She's ready to curl up in your lap, although at the rate she's growing, she won't fit for long!
She is a very calm puppy, often choosing snuggles over rowdy play.....unless a friendly dog is available for wrestling! She mostly sticks to bones and toys for chewing but she has shown playful interest in socks, shoelaces, and any snacks left unattended...who can blame a puppy?
The world can be a bit overwhelming for Shadow, so she would love a family who will continue exposing her to new sights and sounds and helping her find her bravery. She is great with kids of all ages, but lots of noise and activity can make her nervous. She is showing more confidence around new people, loud traffic noises, and navigating crazy things like snow and ice! She has also shown more spunk when she has an older dog to show her the ropes.
She is very smart and shows a lot of focus and motivation when learning basic commands or solving food puzzles.
She is working hard on potty training, but she is still not so sure about doing her business out in this cold. She is a Texas girl after all!
She protests in her crate for a few minutes but then settles in for the night or for a few hours at a time during the work day.

Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
