Shadow is a happy, attention loving, very stubborn though sweet Sheltie... approximately 4 years old! Her tail wags continually and she loves giving doggie kisses. She is house trained and has had a bit more than basic training and thrives on the attention and the direction she receives.

She will need an experienced dog owner to continue working with her... especially on her recall and walking on leash. She is a talkative girl and will let you know when something is amiss in her surroundings. At times she can get very intense about barking, and this is where her training has helped a lot. Keeping on top of her training will be important in her future wellbeing.

She plays well with most dogs though, did not grow up with other dogs so, she would do fine in a home by herself or with another dog that is confident... no young children.

She will not be placed in a home where there are young children... she does not like them at all.

It appears that she is not reactive to cats so, we can see how she does on a case-by-case basis.

She is crate trained and loves her separate space to be fed and her own sleeping quarters. Shadow loves her “interactive” toys and figures the puzzles out quickly... I use these toys to keep her busy when I leave the house and it gives her something to focus on while I am walking out the door. Again, this has been part of her training. She has other toys she loves playing with and will fetch them, mostly indoors since she has other things to pay attention to outdoors. 3/28/26 3:39 AM
