I cannot fathom the sadness and despair a dog must feel the moment he is being dumped or surrendered by the people he knew as family.
This 7-year-old dog named Shadow was surrendered by his family at a California shelter. And for what reason? The Facebook post by Saving Carson Shelter Dogs says “My former family who owned me for had to give me up because they had trouble containing me.”
But what broke our hearts was Shadows reaction when he was being surrendered. Shadow tried to cling to his owner; he didn’t want him to leave. In the video below you will see just how scared and confused Shadow was at that moment.
SHADOW’S Owner wasn’t very nice to him when they were waiting and he was really trying to cling to him, hoping this wasn’t really happening. He is very scared and confused now. They said he is very playful and loves little kids and other dogs. He is beautiful and he needs help now. Please SHARE for his life, he is VERY special and a FOSTER or ADOPTER would save him. Thanks!

But now matter how much Shadow tried to cling to his owner, he was left there at that shelter, joining all the other dogs who are looking for loving, forever family.
According to his previous owners, Shadow is very playful and loves little kids and other dogs.

Shadow was scared and needed a forever home, and thankfully he got his wish shortly after. Here’s to Shadow getting the permanent love he deserves!
