A Staff member writes :

Introducing Shadow! This loveable lab mix appears to be paralyzed in his hind legs. While he likely won’t be able to walk unaided, he doesn’t let that get his spirits down. This handsome fella has become a medical staff favorite. After meeting him, I completely understand why. He is sweet, affectionate, and loves to be pet. Additionally, he appears to be housebroken and still has control of his bladder! Please consider helping him out today!
