The Stories
🐾 From Rags to Wags: Meet Shadow, the Dog Who Stole Our Hearts 🐾
Every dog has its day—but some pups fight tooth and paw for their happily-ever-after. Shadow’s story is one of second chances, tail wags through the tears, and the kind of unconditional love only a four-pawed soul can bring.
When we first spotted this scruffy boy through a gate in Cape Town’s Airport Industria, he was more bones than fluff and more wary than waggy. But little did we know, he’d go from “the hungry dog next door” to the heart and soul of our family. With each meal, each scratch behind the ears, and each little step of trust gained, Shadow showed us that resilience runs deeper than fur.
From scary surgeries to road trips with his pack, Shadow’s transformation has been nothing short of paw-some. And when curiosity led us to a MuttMix DNA test, his results left our jaws on the floor and our tails wagging like crazy!

At just 6 weeks old, little Harper’s life was already off to a ruff start—rescued from a cage she shared with her mom, dad, and siblings. But fate had bigger plans for this pint-sized pup with a heart full of fight. After some much-needed TLC in a loving foster home, Harper’s future took a tail-wagging turn when her forever human spotted her on Facebook.
