Look who's looking for a forever home:


Meet Shadow
​
Life hasn't always been kind to this beautiful 8-9 month old Lab mix. Found abandoned and bearing the physical and emotional scars of a cruel past, this resilient young soul has shown us what true strength looks like. But that chapter of his story is now firmly behind him, and with his new name—Shadow—comes a promise of speed, strength, and the bright future he deserves.
We chose the name Shadow, inspired by the swift and powerful character from Sonic, because we see in him the same determination and unstoppable spirit. Despite his difficult start, this brave boy has already shown us that, like his namesake, nothing can slow him down when it comes to giving and receiving love.
​
Today, Shadow's eyes shine with hope and his tail wags with newfound joy. He's learning that gentle hands bring treats, that voices can be soft, and that some humans can be trusted to hold his heart. Each day brings new victories—from his first playful bounce with a tennis ball to his growing confidence in human touch.
​
This special pup is ready to race into his forever future with:
- A patient, understanding family who will help him continue to trust
- An active lifestyle where he can channel his youthful energy
- A secure, loving home where he'll never know fear again
- Dedicated time for positive reinforcement training
- A family committed to seeing him blossom into the amazing dog he was always meant to be
When Shadow cuddles up next to you or gently rests his head on your lap, you'll feel the pure gratitude and love this sweet boy has to give. His past may have been dark, but his future is blindingly bright—he just needs the right family to help him shine.
Could you be the one to give Shadow his happily ever after? This special soul is ready to prove that with enough love, any shadow can turn to light.
​
Shadow will be up on PetFinder soon. Until then, if you want more information about Shadow, email us at BorderAnimalRescue@gmail.com
