Shadow is a timid Miniature Pinscher who blossoms into an affectionate lap dog once he trusts his humans. He is cautious with new people but enjoys quiet companionship. Shadow has lived with other small dogs and cats, and could thrive with a calm, well-socialized canine companion and dog-savvy children over 13, provided they meet first. He seeks a patient home experienced with positive reinforcement, especially understanding of his fear of thunderstorms, to help him decompress and feel secure.
