Shadow

Want a silver fox?!

My daughter got Shadow from a private owner in February of 2018 whom stated her toddler had allergies and needed to find him a good home. He is 5 years old. He is handsome, active, smart, fun cuddle buddy that is full of energy and personality. He also has his laid back side where he'll just lounge around and watch tv like an old man. He has been pee pad trained majoirty of his life. However, he will go outside when prompted. There is a few reasons I would like to find Shadow a new home. He's not on my lease, moving forward our time and availability with him will become less, and there is a new baby in the family. Shadow has "little dog syndrome" and barks excessively with strangers. Shadow requires sedation to get groomed. He did bite his previous groomers and that's why we are uncertain how he would behave around children.
