Shady the dog went from living in a pound and narrowly escaped being put to sleep to living in the lap of luxury. The unwanted pooch was left at the St Charles Humane Society for two months and then Shady's luck changed. The folks at the Autumn View Gardens Nursing Home adopted Shady and they claim Shady is better than a dose of Geritol. Malissa Snodgrass with Autumn View Gardens explained the joy he brings to the residents.
