Story
This Sheltie requires a yard with a secure physical fence with direct access from the house. We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro. We are not able to coordinate distance placements. Apply at Adoption Shadow is cute, lively and smart! Shadow is a very sweet girl who has come so far with adjusting to home life after she was rescued from a puppy mill situation. She would do best in a smaller family of 1-2 people. She’s a very good eater and loves playing with her foster Collie brother! Age: 1 year (BD 5/30/2023) Size: 22 lbs. Temperament: Shadow is a very energetic and sweet girl, always wanting to play and be silly. Her true personality is starting to shine through as she becomes more comfortable in her foster home. She is cautious with people but warms up quickly when allowed to approach on her own terms, and she warms up to people she has met before. She has not gotten up on the furniture yet. Fence: A secure physical fence with direct access from the house is required because Shadow is a flight risk. She needs to be on a long line in the fenced yard initially as she may run when someone approaches her. She is getting much more comfortable in the yard and dances along happily when her foster mom picks up her leash. She loves her routines and has learned to run into the house from outside and will go straight to her crate for a treat. Dogs: Shadow loves to play with her Collie brother! She needs a playful canine friend for security. She frequently initiates play and loves to chase and run in the yard. Cats: Shadow is respectful of cats in her foster home and not to approach them too closely. Kids: Unknown at this time. Shadow has not lived with children and has not been exposed to children. She will need an adult home or a home with an older child who understands about giving a dog space and waiting for a dog to initiate interaction, and who is responsible enough to close doors to prevent accidental escape. Crate Use: Shadow goes in and out of her crate when the door is open, and is crated at night and when no one is home. She sometimes chews on things, so belongings and hazards should be kept out of reach. Her family will need to allow free access to her crate to allow Shadow to feel safe and to adjust on her timeline. She is now coming out of her crate to get her leash on, and will race outside when the door to the fenced yard is opened. Housetrained: Shadow has had no accidents at her foster home. She goes out on leash to the fenced yard and has learned to come in on her own when the door is opened. Responds to Cues: Shadow has been attending training class and she catches on quickly at class. She loves to eat and thrives with treat-based training. Shadow responds to her name. She watches the other animals and learned how to sit from the cat! Leash Walks: Shadow learned how to walk on leash in the fenced area at her foster home and happily prances along now. For her safety, Shadow should not be taken on leash walks outside a fenced area for at least 4 weeks, and not before she feels safe with her person and has practiced leash walks within the fenced yard for several weeks. Car Rides: Shadow rides comfortably in a crate in the car for her safety. Activity Level: Medium energy – Shadow will sleep and rest, and also can be very playful and active. She loves her toys! Barking: Average for a Sheltie. Shadow gets excited for food - spinning and barking. She’s a fantastic alert dog, letting you know if someone is coming to the house or there's an odd noise somewhere. Health: No known health issues following veterinary examination, spay, vaccinations and 4DX. Experienced Home: Shadow will blossom in a home experienced in allowing the dog to set the pace for interaction and building trust, and who understands the precautions needed to keep a shy dog safe. Shadow is a very sweet and lively Sheltie with lots of personality and charm. She will always need a secure fenced area and careful diligent owners for her safety. With time, she will be a very fun and spunky companion. She’s just a great little dog! Adoption fee: $450
