Meet Shadow

Shadow

2 yr old Male Standard Poodle

Shadow is a beautiful, intelligent standard poodle with a very affectionate and people-focused personality. He bonds quickly with his person and truly thrives in a one-on-one environment where he can be someone’s loyal companion.

He has a calm, sweet, and loving demeanor when he feels secure, and he enjoys being close to his person. He is attentive, responsive, and eager to connect, making him a great candidate for continued training and a strong human bond.

Ideal home:

– No cats (he is still a puppy) chases squirrels lizards etc.

– Best as an only dog, or possibly with one well-matched, confident dog and an experienced handler

– Adult home or older children (no confirmed experience with young children)

– Someone home most of the day or with a flexible schedule

Personality & strengths:

– Very affectionate, loyal, and people-oriented

– Enjoys companionship and thrives with consistent attention

– Intelligent and responsive; knows basic commands like “sit”

– Calm and settled when in a structured environment

– Has the potential to be a wonderful companion or working-type dog (would likely enjoy an active lifestyle or even hunting-related activities)

Other considerations:

– Has some mild separation anxiety (manageable, but will need patience and consistency)

– Can be initially dominant with other dogs but settles well with structure

– Would benefit from continued training and a confident, pet parents

Shadow is a special dog who will absolutely flourish in the right home. With the right person – someone patient, present, and committed – he will be an incredibly loving, devoted, and rewarding companion.
