We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Shadow is a sweet, shy, and wonderful pup who is looking for his forever family. He is learning that people are safe, that homes are loving, and that there is so much life to be lived in getting pets and snuggles! While timid, this sweet boy is learning and growing every day, and can't wait to find his forever family! Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Shadow is a bit timid and is still learning that people are safe and trustworthy, but MAN OH MAN does he warm up and become the wiggliest and sweetest boy once he feels safe. He seems to get more comfortable every day and is now accepting pets and love! His foster family says he is so sweet. Shadow loves other dogs and is so excited to play and be in their company, and thrives when around other pups. Story | Shadow was pulled from a high kill shelter in TX, and is currently in a foster home. He came out of the shelter scared and shut down, and while he is still adjusting, he has made huge strides! He loves toys, play fetch, and playing outside now that he's out of the kennels! He plays with his foster siblings well, is taking snacks from the kids in the house, and seems so happy to be settling into a house!Other Dogs | Shadow ADORES other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with other pups! He is a young, athletic guy who loves to play, to run, and spend time following their leads. Cats | Shadow is living in a foster home with a three cats and is doing well with them! He would do well with a kitty sibling, and seems to adore their company. Children | Shadow is still pretty timid, and his fosters are unsure about how he would do with children. He is still somewhat fearful and doesn't love fast movements, so he may be suited more for a family with older kiddos or a family without kids. Training | Training is in progress currently! Leash | Shadow has not started leash walking yet due to how timid he is, but his adopters this he will do well as he adjusts. Activity Level | Moderate - Shadow is a typical happy lab! Health Notes | Shadow is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Shadow.

Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
