Meet Shadow: Affectionate, smart and a survivor.
What to know: This 6-year-old husky is house-trained and responsive on walks and likes car rides and baths.
- He's easygoing with "so much life to live and love to give," an Austin Animal Shelter volunteer tells Axios.
- Shadow is vaccinated and neutered.
- Also, he's a social media personality with his own Instagram reel.
Why it matters: Time with his foster parents is running out … and he could end up back in a shelter.
- Shadow was originally discovered at the height of a hot summer, abandoned in a park.
The city-run shelter has waived adoption fees.
Between the lines: The Austin Animal Center said its facility is overcrowded yesterday.
- "Our goal is to get as many medium and large dogs as possible into foster and adoptive homes in order to avoid issuing euthanasia notices," Don Bland, chief animal services officer, said in a statement.
The bottom line: Shadow is ready to be adopted or fostered today.
