Fosters

Over the years several dogs have needed temporary shelter

and have stayed with us at Shadow Pet Care. All have found

new forever homes.

Here is one of the extremely lucky ones.

Moose (the black lab mix) was unwanted and semi-abandoned

by his previous owners. Moose adopted Scotty Boyd

of Norton, N.B. (also pictured below is Harley - may he rest

in peace) as his new person.

Moose is now a pack dog that travels to the Yukon and North-West-

Territories and accompanies Scott on hunting expeditions.

What a life! Here are a few pics of Moose at work.
