You might recognize this dude from the HOPE Dogs page, it’s Shadow! He’s been here for a few weeks since his adoption didn’t work out. Technically, and in my opinion, his adopter didn’t even try. They had him for less than 72 hours and not even consecutively! Yes, you read that right. He adopted him, took him home, brought him back to be boarded with his rescue for 3 weeks, took him home again and immediately there were issues that just didn’t match up with Shadow’s personality or the behavior of the adopter and their family. It was odd…and that’s the nicest way I can put it.
During that month that Shadow was removed from HOPE (I don’t even want to call it an adoption) no one gave him his allergy meds. When I picked him up, his belly was deep red and his paws were red and swollen. Shadow was returned in p**s poor condition and with NONE of the supplies he left HOPE and his Rescue with. NONE. I had to ask the person for his medication back! He wasn’t even aware there was medication 🤦🏼♀️ even though it was written out in the Handler’s letter and I went over it the day of his “adoption”. Ugh.
So fast forward a couple weeks and a couple vet visits and Shadow is looking like himself, with the exception of an infection on his neck from his skin not being taken care of. He’s less reactive to the other dogs in this house, which was only ever a problem previously if he had food or a toy he didn’t want to share.
Shadow has been let down enough in his life,
Shadow deserves a home where he will be cared for! A home where he will be doted on. A home where he will get a Christmas stocking every year filled to the brim with treats and toys! Please share Shadow so that Santa can find his forever home!
