Story
Hi, Im Shadow, A while ago, my world changed in an instant. I was abandoned in downtown Indio when someone cruelly dumped me and my puppy from a car. I didnt know where to go or what would happen next, but I knew one thing for sure, I had to protect my puppy. Thankfully, luck was on our side that day. One of the rescue fosters happened to be there, and made sure we were safe. Because of that kindness, my baby and I were given a second chance. Im a loving mama with a loyal heart. I watched over Ash when he needed me most, and Ill always have that protective nature. I bond deeply with my people and will always make sure you feel loved and safe. I also get along well with other dogs and enjoy being part of a family. What I want now is a forever home where I never have to worry again, just love, comfort, and belonging. Could you be the family Ive been waiting for? Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
