He’s currently rocking some battle scars—sores on his eyes, ears, and face—but don’t worry, he’s getting a little better every day with one of our fosters. Despite his rough start, Shadow is basically a marshmallow with legs. He loves people, adores other dogs, and has the kind of face that makes grown adults squeal in baby talk. He’s sweet, snuggly, and ready to be your sidekick in everything from Netflix binges to snack raids. Shadow’s looking for a forever home where he can heal, grow, and maybe steal a sock or two. If you’ve got room in your heart (and on your couch), apply to adopt this adorable goofball at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. Warning: extreme cuteness may cause spontaneous happy dancing.Please be sure to reference this pet's name as Shadow (NY) in case of duplicate names within the rescue.
