Shadow

🐾 Special Foster to Adopt or Adopter Needed 🐾

Shadow is a 7-month-old Staffy × Cattle Dog cross with all the enthusiasm and energy you’d expect from a growing puppy! Through no fault of his own, he has been adopted and returned twice, simply because his high puppy energy, jumping up, and mouthiness were too much for families with young children.

We are now seeking an experienced foster carer and an adult-only home where Shadow can land safely. He needs someone who understands that puppies require patience, consistent training, time, and plenty of positive guidance 💙

A secure yard where Shadow can run and play would be ideal, and he may do well with another confident dog to help guide him.

Shadow is a bright, loving boy who just needs the right environment to thrive. Can you give him the fresh start and future he truly deserves?

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Shadow, please email nbwelfareofficer@awlnsw.com.au 🐕

Personality & Training

Knows sit, shake, stay and is close to mastering drop it. Playful and still puppyish — when excited or seeking attention, he jumps up and does some play biting. Loves tug-of-war and gets the zoomies! Enjoys fetch but thinks the “drop it” part is a game of chase. Active boy who needs attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. Loves car rides!

Friendly Boy!

Has had limited dog socialisation but has been friendly at the beach and on walks. Sometimes lies down and pounces playfully as other dogs go by — typical Staffy/cattle dog play style. Due to his cattle genetics, we believe he may nip as a herding tendency, when he thinks you are part of his herd

Lifestyle Needs

Must be allowed indoors — he loves being with his people. Best suited to an active adult family who can give him time, training, and lots of love.

Health & Care

Fully vaccinated (last vaccine early October). Already desexed. Currently on NexGard Spectra for flea/tick/worming.
