My husband found DD, a golden mix, roaming around at the shipyard where he worked. She was about 8 weeks old, covered with paint, dirt and fleas. None the less, she was a cute little fur ball and needed a home. He fed her, gave her water and she rode around with him the rest of the day. That was 11 years ago. Eight years ago he received a call from a friend who told him he knew of a german shepherd pup that only had a few days to live at a local kennel. He went to the kennel and met Shadow. He had been abandoned by his owner and the kennel owner said he couldn't afford to keep feeding him so he was going to put him down. He had been kept in a cage for over 4 months. He was underweight, his paw pads were raw and he was fairly aggressive. It took a few months for bonding to take place, but it was worth it. They have been a joy. Owning an animal is hard work if done correctly, however, the rewards are endless.
