Shadow's Story

Shadow had been abused as a puppy. She was rescued as a stray by a very nice man. She had 6 puppies, one of whom was stolen by some neighbors. We rescued the 5 pups and her. She had to be live trapped. She is still unapproachable but we have been able to gently pet her on her back.

San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society's Adoption Policy
The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society is a nonprofit (501c3) all volunteer organization (only 1 person paid to clean our shelter). Our primary mission is to improve the well being of animals (primarily dogs and cats) in the San Luis Valley (SLV). The San Luis Valley is the largest alpine valley in the world (roughly the size of Connecticut). It is also the poorest region of Colorado (1/3 of the residents in the county our shelter is in live below the poverty level. Our extensive spay/neuter program has reduced the number of homeless animals in this valley. And we have provided many many families with fine companion animals.
