Shadow is a sweet soul who has been through so much in his ~5 years of life. Originally rescued as a street dog in Puerto Rico, he was transported to be fostered in tampa bay where he eventually found a family. Unfortunately after 4 years, Shadow experienced a lot of anxiety after a cross country move. He eventually made his way back to tampa bay to be surrendered. Shadow quickly found himself home with another family where he seemed to be settling in very well and with very minimal anxiety. It seemed as if he was home furever. unfortunately, he began going blind while in their home and they chose not to do any testing. They decided to surrender him instead. Shadow came back to us about 30 pounds overweight and with swollen back ankles. We immediately got him in with one of our vets and discovered that his thyroid levels were very low. He is currently on thyroid medication and a healthy diet and is feeling much better! As for his eyes, we determined that he can see some, but we aren't sure yet if it is related to the thyroid. Based on the timeline, it may be a side effect from the thyroid. He is going in for a follow up and a recheck. If his eyesight has not improved from the medication, he will be going to an eye specialist. Shadow has a journey ahead of him still, but he is on the right path! He is such a love bug and is looking for a patient and quiet home where he can truly spend out the rest of his hopefully long life! ##2177020##
