There are literally millions of dogs in the United States awaiting adoption or to be rescue from abandonment. Some shelter dogs were neglected or abandoned, some abused, some just didn't match well with their first family.  Many of the dogs in shelters right now may be euthanized if they are not adopted soon. Most of these dogs will make wonderful pets, they just need an owner who can see their true potential and unleash the love and loyalty inside them.

Phantom encourages you to support your local shelters and rescue organizations by volunteering,  making a financial donation or by adopting a dog in need of a loving home.

Phantom's story is one of courage, bravery and survival during one of the worst winter's on record. 

This dog is proof of the great gift rescued animals can be to the world.  In her new family, dogs are celebrated!

Phantom's recovery from her year long ordeal in the wild is based on building a relationship in her new family via morning walks, playful exercise, clear communication, respect, and lots of love.
