Handsome funloving amstaff Shadow in dangr@S.I. kill shelter-abandoned for sale in Staten Island, New York

A volunteer writes:
A beautiful big boy with a coat the color of warm caramel, Shadow doesn't seem to fit his name at all and he's definitely not one to stand back and let life pass him by, no sirree! He's built like a compact tank and has the strength to match but after some initial pulling he soon calms down and we trot along at a good clip as he sniffs the breeze and eagerly wags his tail for every potential friend we pass. Shadow greets fellow dogs very nicely, seems to be house trained and always comes when called and though he's not one to seek out snuggles, my petting is still much appreciated. Fetch just isn't his game so we stick to chasing each other around the pen until we're both grinning from ear-to-ear and one of us (I think you can guess which one!) is thoroughly out of breath. Shadow does sometimes get a bit jumpy in his excitement but he always listens when I say 'stop' and will wait politely on command before nibbling the tasty roast beef he loves from my hand. If you're looking to share your life with a ruggedly handsome, outdoorsy sort of dog then you've just hit the jackpot. Come on in to our Manhattan Care Center and look for the boy with the sunniest smile -- Shadow will be waiting for you!
Another volunteer writes: As big a bruiser as Shadow is, there is a softness and vulnerability to his face that makes me want to hug him tight and promise him life will get better. Quiet in his kennel, he's energetic and playful once outside, happy to run free in a pen and join me on the bench for hugs and kisses. He leaps up like a young dog (don't tell him he's referred to as a 'senior'), and gives me kisses, sitting next to me with one paw in my lap. He's well fed (think round), wears a gorgeous orange coat, and has a fun sweet energy. Wearing his "age" callouses with dignity, nothing detracts from his good looks and sweet expression. He actually reminds me of a plush toy I had as a child. Shadow aced his behavior assessment indicating he'll be a good fit in just about any home. If you're looking for a mature but playful, affectionate companion don't miss the chance to meet Shadow.
