Shadow - 1 year old male Staffie

Shadow, Staffie, DOB 04.11 - Gatwick, Surrey


Homing requirements: Shadow needs a companionship 'at home' family to help him overcome his insecurities. Shadow has suffered crate abuse; he does not tolerate being closed in a crate. For older live-in children and visiting children once he is more settled. Possibly as an only pet.

His Story: Shadow was found tied up in early February. A family homed him, said he was a wonderful dog but could not house train him as needed to leave him for long hours. They had got him recently neutered. Shadow was treated for a build up of blood in his ear flap which is now healed. Vax'd and in boarding kennels near Gatwick, Surrey.

Advert: Shadow will want to be your Shadow ... he needs to learn to be comfortable in his own skin which will occur when he feels secure. Shadow has a sad feel as though he hasn’t had much of a life and is desperate for love. He feels vulnerable. A baby faced dog! Shadow walks well on the lead and beside other dogs. He is a puppy under that adult body who doesn't have a clue yet, but he is intelligent and will quickly learn. Shadow will get out of a crate and so needs 'time and an inclusive family home' to allow him to settle.

Shadow is such a beautiful Staffie with a rich brindle coat with golden threads running through; wonderful sweet head and muzzle. He has a bald patch above his tail base which looks like damage/poor care in the past. Shadow is talkative and delights in cuddles and kisses. You’ll want to wrap Shadow up in your arms, protect him and offer him the very, very best.
