I just e-mailed the shelter and asked if there was any way I could meet her(they are raising money to build a big no-kill shelter, so right now any animals they get need to go into foster homes, so you can't just go to the place and visit them because they don't have cages and things)
I forgot to add her story...
SHADOW:
Shadow is one year and nine months old, and is a loving and playful spayed female purebred Rotweiller. Shadow has had all her required shots. She is house trained; if she needs to go out at any time she'll let you know. She was named Shadow because she has the habit of chasing and playing with shadows, and it can be quite entertaining. She sleeps quietly through the night on a blanket next to the bed. Shadow understands the commands "Sit", "Lie Down", "Paw", "Breakfast", and "Go To Bed". Shadow is very intelligent, she learns quickly, be it learning new commands or how to open doors and gates - or where to find food on a counter! Shadow is very big and sometimes doesn't know her own strength; she seldom jumps up on people, but new faces do excite her. Shadow was abused by her former owner. When her current foster owners received Shadow she was very thin and weak, but since then she has gained all her weight and energy back. Also, Shadow frightens easily as a result of her abuse. If anyone raises their voice towards her, or lifts their hand, she runs to a corner and cowers in a panic. Overall, Shadow is an excellent companion and her current owners wish that they had the means and the resources to keep her with them. Rottweillers get a bad rap as being mean, but Shadow is truly a gentle girl. If you are looking for a loving companion, and have the time to exercise a big dog, then Shadow just might be the girl for you.
I keep wishing I could do this, because I know I could help her from being so frightened, and it just seems way to meant to be, and too weird to just let it go and forget about it
My mom doesn't care about how much I believe this was meant to be(and Im not just saying that because I know she'd never let me, Im saying it because she wouldn't even listen to me when I was telling her about it)
And we could atleast foster, we don't have to pay anything, and it's only for 2-4 weeks, and we could see how it works out. Theres basically nothing to lose, her only reason is "we got enough dogs"
And ALSO one day in the van she said to me that we would BREED Wiggles & Piddle if..whatever(some reasons), and so I started telling her about all the animals that get put to sleep every year and that we should foster instead of adding more..
And she said "I hate for any animals to be put to sleep, but I'm not going to do anything to stop it"![]()
Sorry for rambling
It is just hard to let something like this go because I hear of these kind of fate things all the time, and she's the only thing stopping me because I could do everything on my own.
