  • Shadow was rescued by Dee from Central Coast Animal Care Facility when found pregnant tied to a sink and left to starve.
    Dee brought Shadow to the farm to have her puppies in peace and feel safe. We later trained and socialised Shadow and then finally adopted her as one of our own.
    This is just the beginning of Shadow’s story. She’s living her best life now. Full of love, friends, fun, guidance and security. And she very much deserves it.

    Thank you.

      So true! Sadly, there are many dogs still out there in situations similar to Shadow's. She is so lucky Dee found her and brought her to Luke and Sam. She's a perfect example of what Staffies are really like when given a chance.

      Same here! I found the channel a few weeks before Shadow came to DDFT. I worried for her every week that she was in rehab on screen. I looked for her in subsequent videos after her graduation. When Luke announced her adoption, and Miss Red and Miss Violet's adoption, I cried.

    Just imagine how happy Shadow must feel. In a relatively brief period of time, she has gone from a cruelly treated, hungry, puppy-producing machine to a happy girl who is now living a polar opposite life. She had to be strong to survive her previous experiences, so it isn't surprising a little bit of attitude still exists in her and that she still regularly needs to be reminded about the Farm rules. Watching her choosing to sleep in the sun & play and run on her own terms must feel so good to her & is heart-warming for us to see. Helping herself to the soup was one of the cutest videos ever. Sweet Shadow, I'm so glad that Dee, Luke & Sam came into your life because you really are such a lovable girl❤

    I thought that Freddo was the shelter dog, that worried me for their future the most, no applications for adoption. How aloof he made himself at the beginning. His food aggression. And then the changes came, he was adopted into the family and farm life, he found swimming and mastered it, he found family and protected it.
    And then Shadow came. And I think I can speak for everyone that watched that public post, of an assessment. And wow. I knew it was gonna be uncomfortable to watch due to Sam’s descriptive write up on the post. But I was still taken aback. At the time it was confronting to watch. And internally I worried, for her future, for the team dealing with her.
    But the little star pupil she became after looong intense exposure and training was stunning. She is the little dog that could.

I gave Bryndle to a better home with my friend and his GS dog Kiera as they could provide her a better life then starving on the streets. Even now all these years later after shes passed away and I have a new life of my own off the streets, I miss her ever single day. It breaks my heart to see dogs treated like this.

    This is such an amazing story, the hard work you all did, so that 1 dog finally became happy and safe. That she is important. It breaks my heart, that some people can hurt, such an innocent soul. Thank you for making the world a better place, for everyone.

    I've saved this to my Favorites, because Shadow's story is the most amazing of all the dogs that have come through The Farm. She is testament to the fact that Staffys are not dangerous by nature, but by training, and that even as dangerous a fighting dog as she can be rehabilitated to a family and therapy dog when the trainer knows what he's doing (thank you, Luke!). That she continues to behave true to her gentle nature shows what a good girl she has always been down deep in her heart. Everyone ought to see this video!!! Thanks so much for working with her. Had Dee not stepped in and brought her to The Farm, she would have been euthanized for sure. Just look at the wonderful life she has now! All it took was vision, patience, the RIGHT guidance, and time to heal old wounds. I can never thank you all enough. Shadow and her babies have always been my favorites.

    Luke, the extraordinaire "Dog Whisperer", soulfully communicates with abused or musunderstood dogs, like Shadow, giving Shadow back her rightfully g-d-given life, as well as other blessed canines who were truly fortunate to meet their savior, Luke Evans, at The Farm🎉 Miracles do happen!

    I do love Shadow, and so appreciate the time, blood, sweat and tears you put in to training her. She really is a poster dog now for how misunderstood the breed is. They do what they do, because some human has told them to. Whether that's be good, or attack other dogs or people, they do it to please. She learned life is so much better to be a good girl, and have fun playing with dogs rather than trying to take their heads off. She's a beautiful wee soul. ♥️🐾🥰

      After I wrote the above, I realized that these videos have a much bigger purpose. They show others that dogs that people generally give up on have the capability of transforming and becoming wonderful pets, given the proper structure, training, and love. Perhaps these videos will convince someone, some where, who has the time and will to put in the work - to adopt these "hard cases" and give them a chance and a home. It can be done. Look at Shadow. Look at Roscoe. Look at Molly, Naveah, and Chance. It can be done.

How can some people do such terrible things to animals?! It’s heartbreaking and so, so cruel. Thank you Luke and Sam for adopting Shadow and her girls. Thank you for all the hours put into training Shadow. Thank you for providing the best life ever for them! Watching this, living this must make you so proud and satisfied with what you are doing. I can’t say it enough-JOB WELL DONE!

    Aw Miss Shawdow. What an absolute miracle you performed with her. Watched from her going after the other dogs, through the training to tolerate the dogs but keeping her distance always on alert, always staying on the edges, never really joining in, to beginning to play with the dogs and now being the role model for the other shelter dogs and sneaking some soup in the house. I always tear up seeing how far she has come.🐾💕💕🐾

    I'm sitting here in hot Texas with tears running down my face. The reason I started watching,at the time,DDFT was because of Shadow and her pups. The journey we have all gone on with Luke,Sam,and all who helped her has been nothing but miraculous. The amount of time Luke has put into her rehabilitation is literally astounding. I remember when they pulled the puppies because Shadow bit Miss Violet. To see the little family today all having their best life, is wonderful to see.
    Thank you Luke,Sam, kids,Jason and all the staff for loving them so much and Luke,she did not let you down,other than eating the soup. 🤣🤣

    Thanks Ben,Sam,Luke for this great video. Absolutely loved it.
