Story
Shadow arrived at the shelter as a stray in November. Upon intake, she was thin, timid and uncertain around the staff. Following the completion of her stray hold, she was transported to Lake Geneva Animal Hospital for spaying. During this procedure, an echocardiogram (echo) was performed, revealing a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a congenital heart defect, specifically a `hole in the center of her heart` within the wall separating the lower ventricles. This diagnosis was understandably concerning. While life expectancy for dogs with VSDs can be variable, especially at her young age, Shadow`s defect is unfortunately quite significant. The primary hope is that if she can reach 1-2 years of age, her condition may stabilize. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor her closely regarding any future anesthesia procedures.Despite the initial challenges, Shadow has undergone a remarkable transformation within the shelter environment, blossoming into a more confident and outgoing dog. While she is not particularly fond of all other dogs, she has been working on branching out. Unfortunately she is not a fan of cats at all. Although she has made significant progress, Shadow is still learning to trust humans and is now taking positive steps.Ask about her today!Adoption Information-•9 months old•Spayed•Tested negative for Heartworm •Microchipped •Wormed•Fecal tested•Still needs some guidance Please remember dog meetings are by an appointment with an approved application.

Born: March 26, 2025 I'm 53 lbs., and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $500 Indigo is as special as her name — with a beautifully unique coat pattern that makes her stand out in any crowd. But it’s her personality that really shines. This sweet, bouncy girl is full of love and happy energy. She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy, but she’s just as content being your one-and-only best friend. Indigo loves playtime and zoomies, yet she also has a soft, cuddly side and is more than happy to snuggle up when the fun winds down. She’s wonderful with kids and has a gentle, loving nature that makes her a great family companion. Whether it’s backyard games, neighborhood walks, or cozy evenings on the couch, Indigo is ready to be right by your side. If you’re looking for a playful pup with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle game, Indigo might just be your perfect match All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption.
