I write this with a very heavy heart. My special girl Shadow had to go to the bridge a few weeks ago.

I just couldn't put my feelings in a post it was to hard for me to write. I miss her terribly she was my 

sweet sweet girl that took Arda and I three days to capture her to get her to the rescue. No one knows the terrible life that she had it took three years for her to trust people she would look no one in the eyes she would curl up to the back of the crate on turn her back to you. It took a lot of time and working with her everyday. Taking her to stores so she would get used to people and sounds. I only got one picture of Shadow because the camera always scared her and she would run and hide.She loved other dogs, you could almost see a smile on her face when someone came over with their dog.

She would love to do the dog bow and play.When I took her to classes they knew that she did everything different we had to start her in the middle of the room because she would always hug the wall so no one could get to her,it was sad but that made her feel safe.Instead of calling her to you in the middle of the room we stood by the wall , because we knew she would run to you to be safe by the wall.She became a sweet dog that would finely come over to you for a small pet then come to me.She became my Shadow through the years and would be any where I was.

I love you Shadow till we meet again,

Your Mom

I'm so sorry to read about Shadow.

It takes a special, patient, loving person to gain the trust of dogs who never learned to trust.

Thank you for being that person.

I'm sooo sorry Jill.....I remember well the whole saga of trying to catch that little girl.   You are blessed to have earned the love and trust of a dog so broken.  You loved her and gave her all the time and space she needed to blossom.   Your patience paid off with all the love given back tenfold.  The day you were able to capture her was a the best day of her life.....little did she know:)   Thank you for loving her and giving her a life that every dog deserves. 


We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare, and the love we can spare. And, in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.

What a wonderful gift you were to this poor little girl. I am so sorry she has left you but my heart is so happy to hear this story and how you won her over. Many Blessings to you and to her as she plays at The Bridge and waits for you.  Linda

I remember the story of Shadow's rescue like it was yesterday.  I'm so very sorry your time with her was cut short.  She was a lucky girl, though, to have spent the last few years with someone who was so patient and understanding with her and taught her what unconditional love between human and canine is all about.  Run free, Shadow......
