Hi, I’m Shade and I’m a 10 year old gal looking to find a companion who will love me and give me a forever home.

While I am a little timid at first, once I feel comfortable I love showing off my senior dancing skills with tippy taps and will waddle over to greet anyone new with a wag and I will gladly take a pat or belly rub.

I grew up with - let’s be honest, I was more likely bossed around by - a Labrador and cat however both have crossed over the rainbow bridge. My foster family can easily see how I would not have minded being bossed around as I am the sweetest, most submissive girl. I also grew up with four tiny humans and I am currently being fostered by a family with two other tiny humans aged 5 & 4 and I am beautifully calm and will happily take pats from anyone.

While I was previously an outside dog, my foster family have set me up with my own bed inside and you’ll struggle to see me anywhere else during the day. I take two or three toilet breaks but will otherwise hold my bladder alllll night and just want to lay in bed the whole time. I am a very quick learner and in just 3 days I learnt how to use a doggy door so I can come and go as I please.

I’m quite hesitant going on walks as I haven’t been on many in the last few years but when I have made it out for a walk I’m mostly there to catch up on all the neighbourhood goss at each and every telegraph pole that my fellow canines have stopped at. You won’t catch me breaking any records with the pace I walk at!

I'm not for anyone who wants a dog to exercise with but I'm sure I'd make a good friend for an older couple or single person or a family with young kids.
