My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Loveable, sweet, gentle, playful, cuddly, smart, trained, and obedient are all the words that describe our foster Shadow, but he does have to trust you first.
Shadow was found as a stray, and he does have his demons. He is very distrustful of new humans, but we have been working with him, and now, on his visits out into the community and people, he is much more tolerant of his surroundings and crowds.
But the good thing is that he gets along with most other dogs if introduced properly.
He has triggers that set off his distrustful side, but the good news is, we have found enrichments, like puzzles, walks, and chew bones, that completely take his mind off his fears and let him become the loveable dog he can be.
If you are patient and understanding and want the best friend and companion you'll ever have, Shadow is the dog for you.

More about this rescue

Satchel's Last Resort is a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary whose mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dogs and cats with nowhere else to go because of breed, behavior or medical issues.

Each resident that comes to Satchel’s has its own unique and personal history. We get to know each one individually – favorite toy, favorite game, favorite foods. The dogs are housed in an airy shelter with spacious kennels, take three or four romps in the playard or walks per day, and even take car rides to let their fur flap in the wind. Cats are housed in two open cat room settings and receive social interaction with staff and volunteers every day. Most important to us -- we keep our dogs and cats safe from other residents and from humans who may want to harm them.

Trainers work with the dogs a few times a week to teach them that they can trust humans and other animals. Staff and volunteers work with our cats to keep them socialized or help them learn to trust again. We actively seek forever homes tailored to the needs of every individual pet so that they can live the rest of their lives among a family of their own.

At Satchel’s Last Resort, we believe that by harnessing the unconditional love that the dogs and cats in our sanctuary put forth everyday, the world becomes a brighter place for animals and people. Each and everyday we try to give a little of their love back – back to the pets and back to our community.
