Shadow formerly Bryson

We have all heard the bad experience’s that different pets have had and this is Shadow formerly Bryson,

We believe in second chances for people as well as pets. We have had 3 rescued dogs in the past Sheba German Shepherd/Collie she lived 16 years, Abbie Sheltie/Chow she lived about 15 ½ years and our beloved Gandoff Rottweiler/Lab lived 9 ½ years the vet gave him Rimadyl. After the loss of our beloved “Gandoff” we were sure we wouldn’t be ready to take in another dog. We have had 3 rescued dogs and we know they need work, however we have never regretted it. Well I had finished watching Cesar Millan and a comment made just did not sound right so I had to look up. “Black or dark dogs and cats are the last to be adopted”, well I looked this up on the internet not only did I find this to be correct. I proceeded to look at some adoption sites and sure enough it a fact. Well I seen two dogs when I showed up at our nearest no kill shelter Pawmetto Lifeline, the first dog was very high-strung. The second dog I was told may need some work, he “Shadow formerly Bryson” was a 62 lbs. black (Sable German Shepherd with a white spot on his chest). He was underweight and had an embedded collar that had left very bad scars around his neck. We have picked out our dogs by behavior and when the dogs in the next room started to bark, he went to the door and
just stared. I told him its okay, he laid down at my feet and played. Well at his last checkup he weighed 76 lbs. in less than 3 weeks, his neck is healed and he is home. Open your home and you may need a little patience but, it’s worth it. The staff at Pawmetto Lifeline work very hard to save these animals and sometimes there work is not noticed. Now it has been 3 months and Shadow is home.
