Meet ShadowThe Distinguished Gentleman with a Lot to SayAge: 7Weight: 40 lbsBreed: Schnauzer mixFostered in: Oregon, WIFound as a stray in northern Illinois, Shadow has clearly decided that his wandering days are over. He has settled into foster life like a pro, and honestly, we're not sure why anyone would ever let this handsome guy wander away in the first place.Shadow is friendly, smart, obedient, curious, and wonderfully social. He loves people, loves dogs, loves getting pets, and apparently believes every passing human deserves to hear his thoughts. And yes, he is chatty. He has OPINIONS.His signature feature? Those fabulous curls on top of his head. Combined with his gorgeous silver-and-black coat, Shadow has perfected the look of a distinguished older gentleman who may or may not gossip about the neighbors.Shadow loves other dogs and has a blast wrestling with his small foster sibling. He also does great with cats, mostly because he couldn't care less about them.He's housebroken, crate trained (although he doesn't really need one), knows sit, stay, come, no, and leave it, and is exceptionally well behaved around the house.He's working through a little separation anxiety, which has already improved significantly. He'd love a family who can continue building his confidence and give him some patience as he settles in.Shadow's Favorite ThingsPeopleDog friendsBird watchingGetting brushedHis favorite chairCool 60–70 weatherHaving conversationsHe recently had a large lipoma removed from his chest and is recovering beautifully.
