Hey all. Say hello to Shadow, a 2 year-old lab/border collie mix. He's a rescue we're in the process of adopting. Kind of a cool story actually...

Mari and I have an acquaintance, Scott, who we'd see with his golden retrievers when we were out walking Rox at a nearby park.
Turns out he works with, (and fosters for), the Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern Nevada, and was aware we lost Rox several months back.
So he ends up with Shadow, who's had a rough go of it, as part of a group of 13 dogs that some icehole retriever breeder basically dumped at a local animal shelter.
He actually named him, and really wanted to keep him, but his girl friend, (as in cooler heads prevail), gently reminded him that he already had 3 dogs
, and asks "what about that woman that had the black lab?"
Anyway, long story short, he left a note for us yesterday, explaining Shadows situation and would we be interested?
Mari said she'd think about it, (which surprised me a little:yess
, and he brought him by today. Very sweet dog, just needs some love, which he'll get a lot of.
Sometimes the the planets align, so...nothing's ever certain, but we should have a new pal in a few days. Think good thoughts, and give your dog a hug.:cheers:
