About Shade

Meet Shade! He's a sweet, big puppy with the longest legs that make him look like a little pony when he trots. Shade is a very smart boy who has already mastered crate-training and knows exactly when it's time for bed and when to go potty. He's also a charmer and will give you as much love as you'll let him! We suspect he might be a mix of Labrador Retriever and Great Dane, due to his long legs and Great Dane-like snout, but regardless, he's sure to be a big boy. Shade is making great progress with his leash walking and has even learned to use a doggie door within just two days at his foster home. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share in summer fun, Shade would love to meet you!

Ideal Home

Ongoing Health

This puppy is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Please note that intestinal parasites are cyclical, and your puppy may require additional treatment at home, which is common and expected. Puppies and dogs require ongoing parasite prevention throughout their lives.

Training & Support

Shade is working on his leash walking and doing well so far. He has learned to use a doggie door quickly.
