Shadow3 - Flat Coated Retriever Dog for Adoption in Littleton, Colorado

0726033 - Meet Shadow — a super sweet boy with a gentle, sensitive side!

Shadow loves people, although big crowds or noisy environments can make him a little nervous at first. Give him a little time to settle in, and his sweet personality starts to shine. One of his absolute favorite things is playing fetch, and he'd happily chase a ball with you and bring it back for you to toss again, but he isn't super high energy so 5 or 6 rounds and he is ready to rest for a bit!

Shadow is still figuring out the whole “playing with other dogs” thing, but he coexists with them just fine and is learning as he goes. He has also done well around kids. Because he can be nervous, we think a home with kids around 8+ would probably be the best fit, although he has met younger children and has been perfectly fine with them.

As for cats, Shadow doesn't seem particularly interested in them. His experience has only been in passing, though, so we can't say for sure how he would do living with one.

Overall, Shadow is a loving, gentle boy who just needs a family willing to give him a little reassurance and help build his confidence. In return, you'll get one very sweet companion—and a pretty enthusiastic fetch partner!
