Dog of the Month! Wow, I feel big and proud. I would like to thank the wonderful people at SCBR for rescuing me from the streets of NY. To my Foster Family, thank you for loving me and showing me people really do care. Oh. Oh.. Oh! What am I doing?? That's my farewell speech! I haven't gone anywhere yet. Silly me, DUH!!!!!! The leaves are blowing around outside. I haven't figured out how to get one yet, they're tricky to catch... just like that cat across the street! Boy, would I like to get him. FM says it might snow this week. I will have to see about that stuff. That means I will have to put my coat on, take off my slippers and stop eating bon bons. Ugh! What a life... Well, I am going to have a cup of tea with FM and watch some tv. If she behaves, I'll let her up on the bed with me. I'll let you know about that wet white stuff later....All my love, Shadow. 9/25/09 - Its me Shadow. Boy, have I been here a long time. I don't get it. I'm a cool dog! FM says I am soooo cute. Its Fall now and so pretty outside. I like walks!! Will you take me on one? Will ya? Huh? Huh? I am a good boy. I let fm know when I have to go. I play now I can be a total goof, Please fill out a application before the snow comes. 9/6/09 - I just had to share this. It's funny how a dog who has has been with you for over 4 months can all of a sudden, go from a lazy couch potato to a total goof. Last night Shadow peed on kitchen floor a little. We got him out ASAP and when he came in he was running and bouncing all over the place and started to wrestle with my boxer. Then they went to laying on the floor and barking and howling at each other. It was so funny. They did this for like 5 mins. Then I had a flashlight in my hand and was shinning it on the floor and he was going crazy. So funny to see the Sr who eats, sleeps and does nothing all of a sudden show this side of himself. It was awesome. 9/2/09 - Can You believe it? I have been here 4 months. Anyone out there? Now look at all those white boxers I have to compete with. I may be the oldest but I am the cutest and potty trained and well behaved. I also have very good manners. I may not have all my hearing but I have more than half. I need a lazy friend like me. Why wait any longer? Fill out the application. I know you want to, I am just so cute. 8/12/09 - FM here for Shadow. Shadow continues to do great, he's such a good boy and so cute. Don't let his age stop you, he's such a lump on a log and just wants to be loved. I don't know what more to say about him other than he's truly a great companion. He eats well, goes potty outside and lets you know when he needs to go. Doesn't get on the furniture and doesn't jump on people. He knows sit, stay, and lay down back. We are working on paw, says he's old give me the treat". He's waiting for his forever home, until then we will continue to love him and keep him safe and happy. 7/9/09 - Attention Attention!!!!!! Read all about it. Just the cutest white Boxer is still available. Yup me, Shadow, I am still here. I don't mind it but I do need a forever home. Fm wanted me to tell you I am not completely Deaf I do hear some and I understand a lot. So if that's scaring you from filling out a application don't let it. You wouldn't know I didn't have all my hearing. I can hear birds and keys and I know my name and sit and lay. Well what more can I say about myself that I haven't already said. These people think I am 8 but I tell ya I don't look it. I am such a well behaved man. See I am still patiently waiting for my forever home. PS... a quiet one. 6/29/09 - Hello me shadow again. why oh why hasn't my foster mom's phone rung? I am still here! Don't ya want me? I am just the cutest well behaved senior guy there is. You won't have any trouble with me. I eat, I sleep, and go potty. Unless you pull out a flash light.... I love to chase that on the floor. Well, what more can I say other than I am ready for my forever home?!? So what are you waiting for?? Fill out that application! I can't wait forever! 6/18/09 - CWM seeks NFF: Cute White Male, Beautiful Eyes, Strong, Loving, Caring, Understanding, House broken, Lazy, Trained seeks New Forever Family! If you're looking for all that then, Hey! Its me Shadow! I am looking for my forever home. My foster mom says I am a gem. I am fixed now ( whatever that means). My mouth is all better. I feel great!!!. I know I am older, but I can be such a true companion! I just want to be loved and know I am not going anywhere. I can be your true Shadow. I love to eat and sleep. Love to just take it easy. I like kids, they're ok, but I not in the mood to play like they want me to. I like my foster dog too, but I don't want to play with him either. He's nice to look at and give a lick to every now and again. I like to follow him, to see what he's getting, so I can get some. So... If I fit into your lifestyle please fill out a application and make me your forever dog!! 6/10/09 - Shadow has been to the vet. He got neutered on Tuesday and he is home resting. He's a trooper! He's on a soft food diet. They did some dental work also- gum removal and these things that look like bubble gum, so he's sore and resting. He got his shots. He has allergies, so he will be on benadryl for that. He got a clean bill of health: no heartworm's or lyme. The vet says he's not 100% deaf, but probably 75%. He hears certain things and others he doesn't, depending on the tone. The vet also estimated his age at 8 1/2. So, If you're looking for a older companion, he's the man! He's so mellow and laid back. He doesn't get on any furniture. All he wants is a big fluffy blanket to lay on. Doc says he may have little arthritis, but not too bad. He's not hyper. Just perfect! He's waiting for someone to give him love for the rest of his days. He's such a handsome boy! Shadow should be placed in a mellow home, as he's older and not in the mood to play. When my guy tries to play, he gets mad. He's really not a snuggler, either, he just wants to know someone's there. Even though he's good with my guy, my dog is laid back. He is good with my kids. He is a old man and wants to rest, doesn't even like being outside too long. 6/1/09 - Shadow is still waiting to see the vet on the 8 th to be updated on shots and neutered. Shadow is a great guy; so laid back! He is no trouble at all! Still unsure of age, so I will say over 6 years old. He does show some signs of age. I don't think he's completely deaf. He understands sit, stay, lay down, his name, and he hears bird's key rattle. Other sounds, like coins in a can, nope. He still loves eye contact talking. He gets along fine with my guy. We call them 2 the grumpy old men. Shadow has no interest in playing with him at all. He eats good. He lets you know when he has to go; he goes out and then right back in. He doesn't like outside, as in "tie up and hang out", but he will stay out there if I am out there. If I go too far, he will bark at me. What else can I say other than he may be a older guy but he's so good? Once I find out more on his medical I will post that stuff. He had a bath this weekend so he's so soft and smells good!!! 5/15/09 - Shadow is doing well, Still unsure of Shadows age, We are still waiting to go to the vet..Long Story!!! He has the aches of a senior. I still thing 5 or 6 .He does seem to rely on me a lot and I think this is because he his partially deaf. He has separation anxiety from me. he not happy when he goes in his cage. But he does go.He's eating well using the potty outside.He truly is a shadow follows me everywhere. He sleeps out of his cage a night in my room on his blanket. He's the perfect gentleman. Waiting for a forever home. He Gets along with my dog but does not ever want to play with him if my guy wants to play he's growls once like Not in mood. he's a good boy and knows all commands and he has good manners. He's a Gem 5/3/09 - Hello, My name is Shadow. I have been here in my new home for 4 days now and boy is it so much better than spending 15 days in a cage. My foster family is great. I am not sure how old I am, But I think I am a old man I have aches and I don't hear very well. But that don't stop me from giving love and receiving it. I like to look at your face I like touch. I am such a good boy I sleep out of the crate and tell them when I need to go out, I don't jump I don't get on furniture. I got my name because I love to follow my foster mom or dog around like there shadow, I don't like to be alone I am scared I not sure what has happen to me but I am liken these people they sure do care. mom says I have to go the vets, She said not to worry she wont leave me there, she says I need to be fixed and have my shots. I am eating well I get treats to. for a old guy this is the life, I feel safe here and loved but ma says There's a forever home for me out there, so please keep me in mind I'll be your pal forever. Till next time Shadow 5/1/09 - Our boy got here yesterday and we took a day to get to know him before trying on a name. We're going with Shadow because it fits. He came to us from a vet's office where he'd been staying for some time. After having in our home and getting to know him I am pretty sure he's is almost deaf. He only responds to certain things, loves eye and face contact, and follows my boxer like a shadow. He seems to have some common boxer oral problems- not sure of the big word- but once he sees the vet I can better give that info. But as of now he's a gentleman and has manners, More info on him and foster home pics soon.
