Receive Text UpdatesShadoe's favorite toy is a squeaky alligator he's cherished since he was a puppy, a testament to its durability and his attachment. When it comes to treats, nothing excites him more than the savory delight of pepperoni. Whether playing or enjoying a snack, these favorites bring Shadoe endless joy!
My favorite thing about Shadoe is his enduring playfulness, even at his age. He keeps life lively with his energy and enthusiasm. What makes him truly unique, though, is how he "speaks" to tell me what he wants. His barks are like little conversations—though I sometimes regret teaching him to "speak," it's also one of the most endearing things about him!
Shadoe should be America's favorite because, even at 12, he radiates love and joy to everyone he meets. His playful spirit defies his age, and his sweet, gentle nature makes him impossible not to adore. Whether greeting strangers with a wagging tail or snuggling up with loved ones, Shadoe's heart is as big as his personality. He's a shining example of loyalty, love, and charm, proving that age is just a number for a dog as special as him.
