“Shadow” the Frisky Lab Mix is Ready for Adoption in Billings

Over the years, we've featured hundreds of adoptable dogs from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter on our weekly Wet Nose Wednesday segment. Many of the dogs have somewhat wacky names, bestowed upon them by staff and volunteers at YVAS.

Our highlighted pet this week has a normal dog name.

Meet Shadow, a two-year-old Labrador Retriever mix. This sweet pup was surrendered to the shelter on August 3, which means she's now been awaiting adoption much longer than the YVAS average; most dogs find new homes in just a few days.

Like many younger Labs, Shadow is quite energetic.

Her former human(s) were unable to give her the training and attention she deserves. Derek Wulf, Human Outreach Coordinator at YVAS, said Shadow responds well to treat-motivated instruction, and with a bit of consistency, she should transform into a well-behaved companion fairly easily.

Shadow loves other dogs and people.

Labs are usually lovers, and Shadow checks that box. She loves adults and kids and is eager to please. She's been getting along well with other dogs at the shelter, said Wulf. However, Shadow might be a cat chaser and would probably enjoy chasing chickens too. Something to remember if you have other critters at your house.
