Shadow comes to us from our friends at the Norfolk Animal Care Center. He is a small, mixed breed, fluffy pup. He is very active and happy. As with most young dogs he is inquisitive and needs to be supervised. He does like to explore. We believe he is only about 2 - 3 years old.

Shadow came to us with lameness in his hind limbs. He was seen by the neurologist and prescribed physical therapy (PT) after a battery of tests. Shadow has done well with his PT and can take short walks daily. He also has some passive range of motion (PROM) exercises his foster mom helps him complete daily to keep his muscles at their best. Shadow does suffer from IVDD but he doesn't know it! It does not slow him down. You can read more about it here IVDD

Despite Shadow's challenges he is a very loving little guy. He is active and inquisitive. Once he knows you he is friendly and loving and will crawl in your lap for pets and snuggles. He does have some separation anxiety and we are working with a trainer to help him through it.

Shadow would be best suited in a house with just one other dog or as an only. He is currently an only in his foster home and enjoying every minute of it! A single story home with carpets/throw rugs for traction, a fenced yard, someone home during the day would be ideal.  The perfect home would include someone who can pick him up to carry him easily and is willing to continue his at home PT daily. 

We have had Shadow for several months getting him ready for his new home. We now believe he is ready. Apply today and meet your new best friend.
