Woof!

My name is Shadow and I’m 9 months old. I’m a German Shepherd from San Diego. When I was really little, someone found me in a cardboard box in an alley and brought me to the Humane Society. My foster paw-rents took care of me until I was adopted by my family. That’s when I moved to the Inland Empire. Boy, is it hot out there. I like to chomp on ice cubes, hunt crickets, and hang out with my mini big brother, Duke.

I recently went to the vet and was diagnosed with severe bilateral hip dysplasia. My dad says that's a fancy word for both sides of my hips and it’s why I hop around like a bunny on my back legs. The doggy doctor said I need a total hip replacement. It sounds scary, but if I’m brave and the surgery works, I can get robot-like hips and maybe my dream of going on long walks and hikes with my family wolf pack will come true one day. If you could help me in any way it would mean the world to me.

Love you 3,000,

Shadow
