Barbara’s family was adopted by Sherlock, an Anatolian Shepherd / Husky, while living in Washington. After moving to Indiana and losing Sherlock to cancer, Barbara and her husband, Kerry came to HSHC looking for a new dog to fill the hole in their hearts that Sherlock left behind. In 2010, they adopted Ranger, a Belgian Malinois who had been adopted and returned twice.  A month later, they adopted a Border Collie who was surrendered due to his owner’s illness. He didn’t respond to his shelter name, “Bo,” but on finding the name “Shadow” in his paperwork, his entire demeanor changed and he knew he was finally home. Ranger passed away in 2022, but Shadow is enjoying his senior years being spoiled and loved. Barbara was so impressed by the HSHC’s no-kill mission and the Pets Healing Vets program that they immediately became supporters in 2010 and have continued to get more involved over the years.
