ATLANTA, GA: After his owner's health declined and they could no longer care for him, Shadow arrived at the shelter in September. He weighed 80 pounds. Sadly, due to the stress of living in the shelter environment he lost a whopping 17 pounds. On top of that, Shadow thumped his tail so hard against walls or other hard objects that it resulted in repeated injury (likely due to the stress as well), and the shelter was forced to amputate it. It's been a hard year for Shadow and he desperately needs a forever home! PLEASE SHARE! ❤️🩹
Shadow's foster writes, "Shadow is 10 years old and weighs 63 lbs (but he should weigh more). Shadow lived in a home for 10 years. His owner's health was declining and could no longer care for him, and chose to surrender him. We started fostering him on 4/20/22 - it was only supposed to be for four days, to give him a break because of the stress that caused his ‘happy tail,’ but he was such a well mannered boy and he just got his tail amputated so we decided to keep him longer and help find him a forever home.
Shadow is just a gentleman who is happy with head rubs, couch time snuggles and a good walk. He is happiest when in a car getting some air on his snout. Don't let his older age fool you, this dog has plenty of energy to go for a walk or even a jog. He's also housebroken, quiet, non-destructive, no separation anxiety...truly an easy dog who would be forever grateful to have someone to love him forever.
Shadow is mildly interested in dogs and has no reactivity on walks. He tends to sniff and then do his own thing. He would be fine co-existing with another dog, but would likely keep to himself.
Shadow is up to date on shots and heartworm negative.
Lifeline at Dekalb County Animal Services will adopt out of state, but the adopter needs to arrange transport. As the foster parents we would be willing to help with transporting him (within a few hours of , GA)."
