After 6 years of being a devoted family member, Shadowbox’s family decided they no longer wanted a dog. It’s as simple as that. Try standing in his paws to understand how impossible it would be for him to understand why he was abandoned. The more we learn about him, the more difficult this is to comprehend. We were originally told Shadow was 85 pounds, but we recently learned he is only 70 pounds, so just the perfect size for a lab lover. He currently does not do well with other dogs, which surprises us because prior to his arrival at CLR, his playful nature and agreeable personality provided him so extra privileges and was permitted to run free and get extra playtime with his buddy while at the shelter. He is strong on a leash and needs a strong leader when walking, but he is a complete love. There are so many advantages to adopting an adult dog and in this case, we think the family that adopts Shadowbox will know they hit the jackpot with this very handsome dog!+
