Shadow

Ive had Shadow since he was a small puppy since 2013. He has always been a very good dog and loves affection. He is older now and doesnt have all the playful energy that he used to but he loves to hang out, even if you are being a couch potato. Shadow has been with me through a few different housing moves, and the start of my relationship with my fiance who ive been with for 5 years now. We currently had our first daughter who is 8months old as of my writing this. Shadow is very good with her and other children, however he just keeps getting ear infections that require treatment that we can no longer afford now with a daughter. We dont want to put our daughters health at risk from interacting with shadow while he has these infections. Aside from the cost of the vet appointments, it is so hard for us to have the time or availability to get him to a veterinary appointment as well as we both work full time. I love shadow very much and hate that i have to make a decision like this, i just know how good of a dog he is and he deserves to be taken care of properly, especially at this stage in his life.
