Shadow-at-a-glance: 1-1/2 year old, male, neutered Pit Bull Terrier, 56 lbs., up-to-date on core vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. Shadow takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Shadow came to LOVEPAWS from the PG County shelter where he was down to his last hours before being scheduled for euthanasia. He went into his foster home already knowing 'sit' 'drop' and 'no' and responds to his name when called. We learned after he came to LOVEPAWS that his name with his previous owner was Shadow so we're happy to keep something familiar to him when everything else in his life is new.

Shadow's dream day would include running beside and wrestling with other dogs, giving some kisses to his favorite people and hearing that he's a good boy over and over. After all of that excitement, he would love to end his day on the couch next to his people with a chew or squeaky toy and then settle down to sleep in the same bed as them.

Shadow wants to be everybody's friend and really loves to play with other dogs. He has met a few kids since being in his foster home and has gently greeted them and enjoyed having them pet him. On walks he often stops and stares at birds, squirrels and deer and will pull towards them if they move, but only seems to want to be their playmate if they would only let him! Shadow has had several play dates with a slightly smaller female pit bull where they alternate tearing around the yard and wrestling with each other. Inside the house, it only takes him a few minutes to settle next to his people and fall asleep.
