His Story: Shadow came to us from Yorkshire Nov 08. We have homed him twice, both times with very young children and he has excelled. However his first owner had a major operation and his current owner is started full time work.

Salient points: Shadow needs stability and a family with bull breed experience to revel in his many gifts. Shadow needs companionship (at max. part time employment hours) with awareness to support him establish tolerance being left. Housetraining needs a focius with easy access to a garden which he hasn't had. Enjoys being an only pet.

Advert: Shadow is not only a very accomplished dog, with superb looks, but has a wonderful temperament thrown in. He is a "people dog" in principle, but mixes well with dogs outside given leadership and direction. He is very particularily: engaging in play; enjoying fetch and adores children's company. He needs a secure garden and an active regime. Shadow is neutered, vax'd and chipped.

Shadow is a great friend and a gentle soul. Good with dogs outside but they can jump on his back so needs awareness and all will be well. Shadow needs a stable family to love and enjoy his many wonderful attributes: Shadow is a very special dog to our rescue. A wonderful family awaits him, offering him the promise he so deserves.

I adore Shadow if my circumstances were different that would be my fire in the pic above

oh handsome i missed you when you was put on gorgeous boy
have we any updated news on this hunk ??

He is gorgeous, he has been waiting far too long now

One of our volunteers gave Shadow a weekend break from kennel life. Here is their update:

“Lovely weekend with the gorgeous Shadow. Lots of time in the garden - "helping" with the gardening, playing fetch, having a snooze!

We had to kill an hour in Petersfield first thing Saturday morning and had forgotten that it was the food festival. Given that it was busy, quite warm and that there were a LOT of good smells around, Shadow behaved magnificently and was rewarded with lots of fuss and attention from festival goers and even a small ice cream!

He is such a fun dog and has so much love to give. Potential adopters please give this handsome chap a chance - you'll only have to walk him once to fall head over heals in love”!

An update by Gemma:

“Shadow had a great time out today with Cassie and Dior, he and Dior were flirting a lot the whole way round! I really do love this boy, he has such a sweet heart, he's so nice to walk and he really makes me smile. Shadow is great with other dogs too not to mention absolutely stunning! This lucky boy got to go out with Dior again when Liz, her partner and daughter took the two out, bless them





When I went to get my phone out the car Shadow jumped straight in, went and sat on the back seat as if to say ' I'm ready now, let's go please' it broke my heart getting him out and back in the kennel. Shadow's home please come forward, you wouldn't look back”!

I adore this dog, always have done and I cannot beleive that he has not found anywhere yet and truly find it very upsetting to see him sat in his kennel.

he is absoloutley gorgeous they all are and i wish with all my heart their homes will come soon xx

Awww Shadow is lovely. Met him today on our walk sweet thing walked really nicely, he went out with two girlies and was very happy.

And of course I fell in love with the wrong one again Melody

Just knew we were gonna get you with one of them

Sweet Melody, so very timid. Kennels is not the place for her - she needs to be in a foster home asap.

An update by Karen, one of our volunteers:

"Really wanted to get some nice photos of our boy today, but made the silly mistake of leaving my camera in the car. When I opened it to get the camera out, guess what - our boy was happy to ensconce himself in the car!

After I turfed him out, he was a reluctant subject so this was the best I could do!



I always feel so sad - here is a wonderful, wonderful family dog - he really shouldn't be with us"!

oh that face how could anyone resist its so pleading xxxx

all of these dogs amaze me they alkl have the most amazing trust in their eyes

An update on Shadow from Kate & Janet, two of our walking volunteers:

From Janet:

"Kate and I had a great day out and a lovely long walk with Shadow and Cassie (another RR rescue dog also looking for a home) at Alice Holt today. They get on really well together - just like very good friends. They travelled together in the car, walked together, licked each others' faces, sat together at the pub, shared treats, shared drinks and generally enjoyed each others' company - and we enjoyed their company very much.

Shadow, always the clown, sat under the bench and rubbed his head on the underside - when he emerged, his head was green Kate took lots of photos so I hope this one comes out"!

From Kate:

"Shadow was an absolute star today with his girls (that was Janet, Cassie and I!) . He travelled on the front seat of the car to Alice Holt and was very good. The only problem was that he couldn't quite lie down as the seat wasn't big enough so he kept leaving a paw dangling. When we got there he was just lovely. He walked on a loose lead all the way round and was so well behaved.

He tried influencing Janet to give him extra liver cake :D







And then decided that he really quite liked Cassie





He was exhausted by the time we finished and was quite happy to rest at the pub.





The he decided that he just had to find something that was under the pub bench and came out covered in green stuff! Hope you can see it in this photo.



Then he and Cass headed for home. A lovely day was had by all".

Brilliant pictures, great to see him out and about with a lady friend. I could look at pics of Shadow all day, I just wish it was pics of him in his new home

Lovey pics looks like a good day had by all.

An update from one of our kennel walkers:

Shadow was very patient while I put his harness on today, then upside down for most of the field...

he still has sore paws so was reluctant to walk on gravel

lots of lovely cuddles tho'.

Shadow is currently in boarding kennels and would really benefit from some TLC in a foster home until his forever home comes along. If you are able to offer Shadow a break from kennel life, for however long, please complete our foster questionnaire on our website.

I was hoping and praying when I saw an update on this post that this little boy had a home
