00:00his previous owner had him living outside with no human interaction
00:11i set up his crate in a safe corner of the room and i just sat down and waited
00:19and slowly he did start to show some curiosity
00:27look who just came all the way over to see me well we're gonna be friends
00:34i know it the next morning i knew i had to get him to the backyard he hadn't gone to the bathroom
00:43just terrified of any human interaction he didn't want to let me put the leash on
00:57he didn't want me to touch him and he was very scared of the stairs
01:05once we got into the yard i saw his tail come up from under his legs like he was more comfortable
01:10oh my god i just
01:16it was the most amazing beautiful moment
01:20check it out
01:23oh my god it made me cry because it was so unexpected
01:27that next morning i brought my dog ty out into the backyard hoping that it would help him feel
01:41more confident
01:42ty i don't know if he likes to carry that i know
01:49in that first week he watched my dog ty for what she would do and liked to copy that
01:55oh hi good morning
01:59oh hello
02:01hello it's really sweet to see how much that helped him come out of his shell
02:11his personality continued to come out and he was silly
02:27he would play all day from morning to night non-stop
02:42wrestling and running around the backyard
02:44even just his walk he would bounce shadow is doing so great especially for a dog who's
02:59you know probably never been on a leash he's doing awesome
03:04we got a lot of applications for shadow but there was one that really just stood out to me they were
03:18so kind to allow me and my dog ty to actually stay the first night there at their house so that we
03:26could make sure shadow settled in he seemed to just have an instant connection with them which
03:31wasn't the case with all people he's doing so well thriving he's happy with them
03:47they are the perfect family for him
