Shadow GH-641

RIP Shadow – This beautiful boy was truly one of life’s great gifts and it is easy to see how everyone who knew him loved him almost immediately. Shadow was born 10-28-2008, and was adopted in April 2010, and from that date forward, he never had another bad day, enjoying a glorious 12 years as Shadow McCusker.

Dear GoldHeart,

We are heartbroken to tell you that the golden retriever we adopted from Goldheart 12 years ago this week, crossed over the rainbow bridge this morning (April 6). Shadow lived to be 13.5 years old and was without a doubt the most loving dog we ever knew. He was the sweetest, happiest dog and truly had a heart of gold. He was beloved by everyone who knew him.

We are grateful to Goldheart for rescuing him and trusting him to our care. Here are a few pictures of our big, beautiful boy. Thank you for the important work your organization does on behalf of these abandoned animals, they are such a gift to their humans.

With gratitude and sadness,

Rachel and Patrick McCusker
