Adopted Dog Update: Shadow knows the good life

Here's an update from a fabulous Pet Haven alum who had several strikes against her and has really thrived. Shadow has only one eye, she's very high energy and she's a big black dog -- yet this girl has found a home where she is adored.















Shadow is healthy and happy and as rambunctious as ever.Her physical was fine and her shots were updated last month. She clawed me and knocked over my coffee this morning so she still gets over excited sometimes, but she is almost always in her happy place now. We are crazy about her, yes, Matt too. Her and Minky race up and down the driveway on there "walks" neck and neck. I think Shadow paces herself so she can have the joy of being next to a buddy running because she is so much younger and faster. They don't fight anymore but will have irritable words together once in a while, usually about who gets to go out of the door first. She is so puppy-ish and joyful she cheers you up just watching her. Because we had to do pretty serious training with her she is better behaved in some areas than Minky. They are sleeping together on the bed in my office as I type this. She is definitely one of the best gifts in our lives. Matt will shoot some pictures this weekend and we will send them. You can see black dogs really well in the snow.

Congratulations, Shadow!
