About This Dog for Adoption

Shadow's ideal home

Shadow is a gentle, sensitive girl aged 6 years and 6 months who’s looking for a calm, understanding home. She can be suspicious and kennel avoidant when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, she’ll approach politely. Out and about, Shadow enjoys exploring new areas at her own pace, though she can be a little worried in unfamiliar surroundings. Around other dogs, she shows polite but conflicted behaviour—curious but cautious, with a few lip licks and stiff body language so while she doesn’t want to live with another dog, she could enjoy walking alongside calm canine companions. Shadow would be best suited to a home with children aged 14 and over who can respect her space and help her feel secure.

Could you be Shadow's perfect match?

Shadow needs a quiet home with a private garden where she can build her confidence gradually. Her ideal adopters will be patient, willing to visit her several times to form a bond before taking her home. She has medium energy levels and can be left for a few hours once settled, though this will need to be built up slowly. With time, consistency, and gentle reassurance, Shadow will become a loyal and rewarding companion for someone who truly understands her needs. If you're ready to take things at her pace and offer her the calm, supportive environment she deserves, Shadow could be the perfect match for you.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
