I am writing to thank you for allowing our family to adopted a dog. Two months ago we adopted Cinder ( now named Shadow ), a little black puppy about 4 1\2 months old, black lab mix.

I have to tell you what a love this dog is, and how he brings joy to our lives. A little more than a year ago our dog Reggie passed away suddenly, I raised Reggie from a little 6 week old puppy to a 110 lb. 10 year old golden lab mix. He was my best friend and when he died I never thought I could ever find a dog to fill the hole he left.

Well, I was never so wrong. Shadow, is the cutest most lovable puppy I have ever met. He is so well behaved, very smart and soooo cute and always ready to cuddle at a moments notice. When we brought him home , he was shy, quiet and a little timid. I was afraid he would not come out of his shell. Within 1 to 2 days he settled right in, we crate trained him, which he took to without any complaint and was house broken within a two week period, he has found a best friend and playmate with our cat Casper and most of all he has healed a broken heart. Shadow, follows me everywhere what I ever I do he makes it a priority to be there right beside me. With the exception of an occasional shoe stealing he has turned out to be the perfect puppy, I could never imagine our lives without him at this point in time. Thanks again for helping heal a broken heart....
