Meet Shadow II
6/4/2026 Shadow II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Shadow II! I am a handsome 8.5 year old brindle boy that is an owner surrender due to one of my owner's passing away and due to the health and moving of my other owner, I am needing to find a forever family! I am described as friendly, active, protective, playful, and affectionate! I am very protective of my home and will bark at people but when they come inside I want to shower them with all the affection! I currently live with another boxer and weenie dog and do fine with them. It is uncertain if I am friendly with other dogs beside them. I have lived with 2 cats before their passing and I did fine with them. There are no kids in my home but my owner's grandkids and friend's children come to visit and I enjoy them! I'm house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep inside. If the humans must be away, I am fine being left alone and happy to see them when they return! When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/ gates! Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, playing with stuffed dog animals, sleeping, playing in the yard, attention, laying in the humans' lap, sleeping on my back with my legs in the air, and being goofy! If you think I would make a great addition to your family contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Adopting Shadow II — FAQ
How do I adopt Shadow II?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Austin Boxer Rescue in Austin, Texas. Lily's Second Chance lists Shadow II to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Shadow II still available for adoption?
Shadow II's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Shadow II is still available directly with Austin Boxer Rescue before making plans.
Is Shadow II a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Shadow II, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Shadow II instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Shadow II's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Shadow II?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Shadow II good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Austin Boxer Rescue can tell you about Shadow II's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
