History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!

A Note from the Foster: We have always known that Shadow is special, but we just learned about another thing that makes her unique!  

Shadow was recently diagnosed with Achromatopsia or 'day blindness'.  This condition makes it difficult for her to see in sunlight and in bright lighting.  Her vision is estimated  to be normal at night and in dim lighting.  She has some adorable 'doggles' that she is getting used to wearing on sunny days when the light is reflecting off the snow and making it extra tricky for her.  She also relies on her people to guide her down tricky things like the deck stairs on sunny days.  But don't worry, her gentle nose boops on your leg are just about the sweetest thing ever!

In many ways, Shadow is like any other dog who loves to play and lounge around her home and yard.  She loves her people(adults and kids) and her foster doggy sister!  She is equal parts playful puppy and loyal companion.  She likes to be near her people and doggy sister but also likes her own space to snooze.  She is confident and curious when out on walks in the neighborhood at dusk but she still needs a little time to warm up to unfamiliar people...especially when meeting them in brighter indoor or outdoor settings.  

Shadow would love to find a family of night owls...maybe a night dog too, who are willing to wait for her to show her sparkling personality! 

Adoption Fee: $760 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
