A devoted companion with a heart that beats for his people
Shadow is a mature chocolate Labrador whose world revolves around the humans he loves. Calm, affectionate, and deeply bonded, he enjoys being close to his people and finds comfort in their presence. He’s a sensitive soul who thrives on routine, reassurance, and inclusion as part of the family.
Personality & Temperament
Shadow is loving, loyal, and people-focused, happiest when he can follow his person from room to room or curl up nearby. He enjoys affection, seeks connection, and responds well to calm guidance and clear boundaries. While he hasn’t had formal training, he listens well and is eager to please those he trusts.
Social & Home Compatibility
Shadow is social with other dogs his own size but would do best in a home without small dogs or small animals. He has grown up around children and enjoys their company, though he can be boisterous and would suit a home with respectful, dog-savvy kids. He is best matched to an experienced, confident adopter who understands dog behaviour and management.
Daily Life & Favourite Things
A true Labrador at heart, Shadow loves swimming, happily splashing about and soaking up water time whenever he can. He enjoys car rides, is housetrained, and settles well indoors. During thunderstorms, he prefers to be close to his human for reassurance, showing his sensitive and loyal nature.
Ideal Home
Shadow needs a home where dogs are part of the family — welcome indoors, included in daily life, and given time, structure, and affection. A secure property, consistent routine, and committed adopter will allow Shadow to relax, trust, and thrive. Shadow isn’t looking for perfection — just understanding, stability, and someone willing to choose him fully, for life.
