Description:
ADOPTED!!
Shadow, a 6-year old black male cocker spaniel, came to us from a humane society in absolutely horrific condition. He was infested with fleas, scratching like crazy, filthy and covered in matted hair. The poor boy had double cherry eyes and may end up being blind due to neglect, as well as being inflicted with skin allergies, ear infections, and worms. How dogs get to this sad state of affairs is
incomprehensible, and how they can still be sweet and happy to be with human beings is testament to the loving hearts and short memories of most of the dogs that we rescue.
Needless to say, Shadow was ecstatic to be out of the kennel. After the initial excitement, he settled down nicely. The vets and their
staff loved him, and he is busy being cleaned up and having his medical conditions addressed. He has undergone surgery to fix his eyes, been neutered and vaccinated, and has been dewormed and put on medications for his eyes and ears. He is a happy and friendly boy; although he was a bit nervous at first, once he was with our volunteer for more than a few minutes, he was demanding attention and pets from her. He is energetic and active, so he will be looking for someone to walk and play with him. We are hoping his sight can be renewed, and are planning to take him to a specialist; however, in the event it can’t be repaired, Shadow will need a loving home to help him grow accustomed to his blindness. We have had a number of blind dogs in our rescue, and with time and patience and love, they have grown to be
active and happy members of their households. Please give Shadow the second chance he so desperately wants.

The medical and custodial care of the many Cockers in our care is tremendous. More and more dogs are abandoned with urgent and serious medical issues. We are committed to providing the best possible care for these forgotten friends. Unfortunately, the mounting high costs are beginning to limit the number of dogs we are able to take into our program. Even if you cannot adopt or foster one of our current adoptable dogs, please consider making a donation.
