She was adopted by a great family, she will need surgery and we would like to help off set those costs. If you can find it in your heart to donate a few dollars for her hip surgery, Shadow would thank you for ever and so would her family.

Please make a donation today to help cover her surgery for an accident she incurred before she was rescued. She was hit by a car and shattered her hip joint, requiring surgery.

Her husband wanted an Australian Shepherd, and they both felt that rescue was the way to go. Stephanie found a rescue online, and then saw a picture of a beautiful blue merle boy on a Facebook link…and what can we say? It was love at first sight. Stephanie and her husband soon made the 2 hour drive to Mundelein, IL to meet Stryder. We asked Stephanie how Stryder is doing after having joined their family a few months ago. Like any proud mom she said “he is fabulous—very sweet, loving and he has even learned a few new tricks. He has gained 15 lbs, which he really needed to gain, and he even has learned how to play with toys! Every day he does something new, he is really a wonderful first dog.” Stephanie said everyone at the rescue was so nice and friendly (what else could she say?) and hopes to soon get more involved with the group. “I love to look on Facebook and see all the dogs who have found new homes--it is a wonderful thing your group does for these dogs, thank you!” No Stephanie, the thanks goes to you and your husband for opening up your hearts and your home to Stryder. We know that adopting a rescue dog isn’t always easy, but it is people like you that make our efforts a success.]]> Stryder
