Adoption Pending! Hey there peeps, I am Shadow! I am a young male Doberman X, not really sure of my age. I am maybe a year old, give or take. I was born on a reservation and admittedly, lived a rough life. Luckily I was "saved" from being no bodies dog, to hopefully, paws crossed, one day, having a home to call my own. Best part, I was so very lucky to be one of the "chosen dogs" to live, for a month, with vet students at their training school before I came to UDR. The vet students at the school I stayed at, poked me, prodded me and ran every test under the sun, they even checked my poop every other day for something called parasites. I honestly think they really enjoyed looking at it, and I laughed every time I pooped. they got all excited and picked it up in their baggie. Vet students are seriously very, funny creatures.......I disappointed them as I had no parasites to be found, HA! They gave me lots of shots, made sure I joined the exclusive and highly desired, "No Nuts Club", and gave me a great ole time. So for right now, I am looking for a foster home until I get adopted, or a forever home that wants me for ever to stay and be your pal. I'm here waiting for you to fill out the application to adopt me!
