Shadow

Hi I’m Shadow, I am a gorgeous 5 year old Pug

I’m on the hunt for my forever home where the people will love me like I love them.

The rescue has said that I need to tell you my quirks first so that if I don’t suit your home / lifestyle you won’t need to keep reading my bio.

I suffer from anxiety and therefore it’s super important that my dream home would be with someone who either works from home or doesn't work and is a home body. Somebody who can also work with me on this would be great and especially If you can incorporate me into your life and take me a lot of places with you.

My foster mum has a nickname for me she calls me FOMO (fear of Missing out) because I’m like that I am constantly sleeping with one eye opened and needing to know what you’re doing, when you’re doing it and even why you’re doing it – either way I will be there helping

Even though I have FOMO I’m not big on cuddles and being picked up – I’m really only interested in a cuddle at bed time or couch time – I like to be close to you but on my terms

I’m not a huge fan of play time – I can play with my foster siblings but that is not a requirement at my new home – I will play fetch with another dog but it’s really only halfhearted and that’s really just running behind them (cause you know FOMO)

I am in care with fur siblings which I get on with – bigger dogs then me do make me nervous – so looking for a home either as a only dog (surrounded by humans) or with another dog but similar in size.

I have come from a home with kids and as long as they don’t try and pick me up and carry me around I’m fine – I do have a big quirk that my foster mum says I have to tell you – I go nuts when you touch my tail and I just want to grab it and give you a growl – so the rescue thinks it might be better to be in a home with kids over 8 years old – just so they know leave my tail alone. I won’t bite but I just don’t like it.

I love to go for walks and I am very well behaved on the lead, I just have no road sense but I’m working on it.

I love car rides and am really well behaved in the car and love to go on little adventures. I love the beach with the sand between my toes but I’m not a fan of water – I also hate bath time so be prepared for some energetic dance moves when trying to bath me.

I came into care a bit chaotic but we have been working on that and I can sit – especially if a treat is my reward.

I am an awesome eater – my foster mum mumbles something about garbage disposal and I’ll get fat if I’m not careful and that I need to chew my food and not inhale it but my new parents need to be able to work with me to ensure I don’t over eat or choke from eating too fast.

I still do have some accidents from time to time in the house with toileting but that’s cause I wasn’t used to living inside before coming into care but I am working on it and do need someone to continue with helping me accomplish this. (ps. I love it and really want that to continue as part of my lifestyle – inside with access to outside when I want.).

I love sleeping inside, in your bed under the covers, on your head, on top of your belly, between your legs or just as close as I can get.

If you think you could make me part of your family & are interested in applying to adopt me, please send thru an adoption application.
