This is THEO. Theo is a 3 - 4 year old blue nose Pittie (mix). He has the biggest head and sweetest personality. He was pulled from the Santa Barbara shelter just hours before he was to be euthanized — all because he possibly has a torn cruciate. Theo was pulled by Shadow’s Fund (www.shadowsfund.org) and was delivered to a vet hospital to be boarded. He is currently being treated for untreated allergies, which has caused his skin to be inflamed, his toes to swell up, and he also had a mild ear infection. He has started medication to help with the inflammation from the allergy source (which is to be determined). Theo will also be having a consult done with a local surgeon to have his knees further evaluated and surgery scheduled if necessary. Once all of Theo’s medical concerns have been addressed he will be ready for a foster and forever home. If you would like to consider either option for Theo, please contact Shadow’s Fund (you must be a California resident) at: info@shadowsfund.org

STILL URGENT: Major needs a foster home ASAP. Major is a senior pit bull mix that has just not caught a break lately. He was dumped at the shelter with a terribly neglected ear infection. That infection meant ear surgery to remove both ear canals. After surgery, he spent months in boarding at the vet hospital with no one expressing interest in him. This weekend he was finally on his way to a home but he does not like the man of the house. He does not have issues with all men, and is great with women and children. He does not like other dogs. We know this sounds like a tall order but we have faith that there is someone out there that can give an old dog a comfortable home and love and will look past his special needs. Please contact us right away at info@shadowsfund.org if you can help Major.

Bernard's Red Wine

For 7 years Bernard lived the life of a street dog as a companion to a homeless person. And his outward appearance looks like it. He’s a little rough around the edges, looks like he’s been around the block more than once and surely has many a tale to tell. His story almost ended when his companion went to rehab and he went to the pound. Fortunately his longtime friend reached out to Shadow’s Fund to alert us that Bernard needed help. We got him out of the pound and he is now being fostered by a loving family. And don’t let his rough looking exterior fool you. This old guy is a big softie and his favorite moments are when he’s snuggling with the kids on the couch. Sadly, after years on the street without sun protection, Bernard is now fighting skin cancer. That’s one fight that we approve of and we’ll be in his corner until the end. To learn more about Bernard or how you can help visit www.shadowsfund.org.

This month is ADOPT A SENIOR PET month! We all love puppies, but what about our older companions that have lost their home? As my family and I have discovered through having Bernard in our home, even an 8-year-old dog has a lot of life in them and plenty of love! So if you’re looking for a new best friend, don’t just look at the youngsters - also considered the gray muzzled sweethearts.
