Shadow is a ten and a half year old German Shepherd mix who came into our care when her owner died. In spite of most likely being in extreme pain from severe dental disease, her friendly nature was obvious right from the start. Though some people might have seen just a sick old dog who should be put down, her spirit and enjoyment of life shined through, and we decided she needed a second chance.
With the loving care and expertise of the VCA Animal Hospital in Wakefield and generous financial help from Poundhounds, she has been nursed back to health and is ready for a new home.
We are looking for a very special adopter for Shadow. While her health issues have been brought under control, she is an older dog and will need some daily medications for the rest of her life. Nobody knows how much healthy, happy time she has left, therefore the person who adopts her will have to be brave enough to give their heart to a dog knowing that they’ll only have a few years together at best.
Shadow loves car rides, short walks, and just hanging out with her people. She gets along with other dogs and loves to play. She’s actually a little too playful with cats, though she has lived with a cat in the past. Therefore, we do think she would do best in a home without cats. We don’t know how she feels about children, so we’re looking for an adult home for her as well.
If you think you might be that special person for Shadow, please contact Diane Kurkjian at Melrose Animal Control 781-979-4102 or Jen Park at VCA Wakefield 781-245-0045.
