He’s a large dog—around 100 pounds when first rescued—but is steadily reaching a healthier weight.

 

Known for his big smile and endless affection, Shadow loves greeting people and sharing kisses.

He has never bitten anyone and consistently wins hearts with his friendly, outgoing personality.

 

After living in an apartment for over a year, an isolated incident with a small dog led to him being listed for rescue, though no aggression toward people has ever been shown.
