There’s no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners/trainers! You lot are awesome and saved her life 👏

For me, Shadow’s story is the most tragic and remarkable. We’ve all come to love her milkstache and gentle ways. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks or ways of being? I love the greetings she gives to Chance❤️.

I've ugly cried for this precious girl. You have literally saved her life 🥰

Shadow turned out to be such a sweet dog. You guys never give up, no matter how bad the situation. Look at her now❤️

Shadow has overcam her past by becoming the best good girl and paying the love forward to the other dogs working to overcome their past. Well done Shadow!

So very grateful for the time, attention, HOURS of training and love Shadow got from you Luke. She is very special, and you and your loving family have brought that out in her. Good on ya mates❣ Love all the Evans❣

I stumbled across your channel just as Shadow began her rehab. I was so impressed by your patience and compassion for her that I became a member. I still love seeing her pop up in the videos and watching her looking so happy and relaxed. She is a credit to you (and herself of course).

I had so many tears of joy watching Shadow progress through her stages of rehabilitation. It gave me such joy seeing her go from tense and reactive to free, joyful, playful, and loving with the other dogs. She's really living her best life!

Love from the Netherlands. You cannot imagine how many world wide follow these troubled dogs becoming loving, soft and beautiful again. Thank you so much for all you do. 💖🦋💎🦋💖

I really appreciate going back to see what the rehabilitation of these rescues have been like. Shadow was quite a challenge and worrying. Her progress and change was so gratifying to watch. So, much love, patience and training went into her . She is so fortunate that she landed in the Farm and Luke's care. Thank you.

Shadow has a special place in my heart. I think she's been thru some really bad things. I was so happy you guys adopted her the farm is a safe place full of love.

What you have managed to accomplish for Shadow is nothing short of a miracle. You have literally saved her life. The change is just amazing and makes me so happy to see her now compared to the dog she used to be. On behalf of Shadow I thank you.

I love Shadow. She really deserves her new life in The Farm with her two beautiful daughters. 🥰

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. 🐾❤️🐾

Thankful Shadow got the opportunity to be at the farm. She is living her best life. ❤

I remember how gutted you were as to the extent of Shadow's problems, but you never gave up on her. You saved her from certain death & now look at what a wonderful pack member she is.

Shadow really is one of the real success stories of the Farm. Such a sweet gal.

So proud of shadow. She changed a lot and now living her best life.

She was one tough cookie when she came to the farm. We witnessed a true miracle in her rehabilitation. Thank you for sharing her story.

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 wished they showed more footage of Shadow sunbathing or barking at birds in the trees, which apparently are her favourite pastimes now she can relax into her surroundings. It's so good to see Shadow's transformation into a dog that loves life. Well done Luke & Sam.

I love Shadow so much. I remember the video where she and Barney were adopted by you guys, and, it brought tears to my eyes. She has come so far, Luke you are just amazing with what you have done to all the shelter dogs 💗❤️

One of the things I love about this channel is getting to be a part of the journey. To see the continual progress over time, and then to rejoice at the outcome with everyone. Realizing not every endeavor will always turn out a complete victory, I’m confident that if anyone can make it happen, it is all of you at the Farm. Thank you!

Shadow has turned into the best girl ever

Love this for her. I know from what you've told us that you have to always reinforce her rehab, but she's taken the leap and is so happy.

Seeing the wonderful socialised girl Shadow is now it's all too easy to forget the hours and weeks of work that went into her rehab. Her life changed when she arrived at the Farm. Thank you all. 💖💖💖💖💖

You gave such a gift to Shadow and she returned the favor and gave you two of the sweetest, cutest, most special girls, Miss Violet and Miss Red. And you all lived happily ever after! 💞🐾💞

I'm so proud and happy for Shadow. I'm always searching her out in all the videos. I'm so grateful to all of you who worked with her. You're all amazing people

I have gained so much more understanding, knowledge and compassion having watched Shadow’s journey. It’s been tremendous to see her learn to trust, love and be loved 🥰 thanks Luke for not giving up on her !

"The Poster Girl for rehabilitation at The Farm"...and then you show her with soup all over her face...🤭 Oh Shadow you were framed!💛

Shadow worked so hard to get to where she is today! She wanted to please Luke so much and did it! She is just a wonderful, happy, relaxed pup and is enjoying being a part of the Evans Family and all the pups that come to The Farm! A lot of hard work on both her part and Luke's; but with a wonderful payoff!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I can’t even begin to express the overwhelming gratitude l feel for all the hard work you put into Shadow. From back when she was so aggressive to now and seeing her so relaxed and loving life is the most wonderful feeling❤️

I remember at the start feeling concerned for her future and look at her now. She still makes my heart melt when I look into that beautiful face and eyes of hers. Thank you to the entire Farm team for such a happy ending ❤

Shadow is such a special girl and a wonderful addition to the family. Job well done precious girl.

The story of Shadow is truly a journey of "hopeless to home " - thanks to Dee & The Farm.

"She's only going to be here another 3 weeks" if only both of you knew the future, she's not going anywhere

This had me in tears, seeing and remembering how Shadow was when she first came to The Farm. I did not think she could be turned around, but I'm so glad I was wrong!! She has turned into a wonderful, loving, family dog. Seeing her beginning to her being cuddled by the kids and sleeping with her own baby is amazing. I love that Luke can read them so well and understand exactly what they need. Never thought anyone would use "sweet" and "Shadow" in one sentence, but it is so sweet when Shadow lays basking in the sun, living the dog life and loving every minute of it. So grateful she gave us the Misses V and R!! More grateful that Luke and Sam gave them the perfect loving home and we get to share in it!! Thank you and love to all! 🐾🐾💜❤👶🥰

I followed Shadows journey... she had such a gorgeous face and her eyes so full of love... she just needed help to find that love that was always in her... and TEAM Shadow (Luke and co) helped her find it... she is a credit to all the work and hours that you put into these shelter dogs... well done guys... the day you adopted shadow was one of the best days... (up there with Freddo's adoption) Enjoy your life Shadow sunbathing and chasing birds in that little piece of heaven called THE FARM...

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.

I'm so happy you decided to let her stay with you. It's her safe place and her home. All the work and love have made such an incredible difference ❤️.

Shadow is paying it forward. Nothing short of a miracle! She is today the dog she was meant to be. Love it!

It would have been ‚easy‘ to just give up on her from the get go, but that’s never been an option for Luke and Sam. So much work and love put in which is the only way to achieve such extraordinary result for Shadow. So happy for her 🥰🤗

That is what love and guidance does 🥰❤️💕thank you all 😍

I remember those early videos and I was so afraid that Shadow wasn't going to make it. Now just watching her taking her sunbaths makes me smile. Shadow is the image of hope and second chances.

With your love and training..Shadow got her second chance and found her forever hone xxx

Shadow is the dog I always look for in your videos. I can’t believe how far she has come.

The look of love when she is with Luke makes my heart sing - such a wonderful ending for such a deserving lady

"She's only going to be here for another 3 weeks". When I first saw Shadow I thought that this was one dog who could not be saved, but I wanted her to give humans another chance, and she did. She is one of my favourites and so loving and forgiving. Thank you you Farm from Perth. Xx

I love all the dogs but Shadow really tugs at my heartstrings. The best girl after all the hard work from all of you. Thank you for helping this precious girl. 💕💕💕💕💕

Shadow had a rough start in life! No love only punishment! So very sad. Now with Luke’s expert knowledge in dog behavior we have a precious sweet dog. Thank you Luke and The Farm for this beautiful transformation! I’m in love with Shadow and her gentle ways. Welcome to a wonderful world Shadow. Love you to the moon and back! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

How wonderful is the transformation in Shadow. What a blessing for all the dogs who begin their lives in such a horrible way and end up with such good people like you two who understand them and don't condemn them, but teach them the right ways so they can be happy and good. What a great talent you have.

That’s a MAMMOTH amount of hours but my goodness did she come good!! Look at her now! Credit to you Luke, Sam and all the Farm team, she just needed guidance and love and a pack who didn’t give up on her, and boy did she get it!! Credit to her too, she only ever wanted to be the goodest girl 🥰💖

How wonderful to have a whole video dedicated to Shadow. She truely is your poster girl. My favourite bit about Shadow is when there is high jinks going on at the pool, Shadow can be found lying out on the road in the sun snoozing…..just living her best life. ❤️🐾💕

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. ♥️🐾🥰

You've not only saved Shadow's life, but the life of all her pups too. I am so very grateful to you, Luke and Sam, for the hours of work you've dedicated to giving Shadow a lovely life. It's truly remarkable.

Shadow's success and ability to continue to parent Miss Violet and Miss Red and stay at the Farm brings tears of joy! Thank you for what you do.

Cannot adequately put into words my emotions while watching this incredible video. I remember when Shadow first came to The Farm, and how devastated you all were when you realised her cruel background. Your love, dedication and expertise through the many hours of rehabilitation and socialisation are outstanding……and ended in the best possible way for Shadow, all of you and all of us. Thank you for everything you did, do and continue to do 🙏❤️🙏

Without you I doubt that Shadow would be here. Or Miss Red and Miss Violet. Shadow’s hard work with your training, love, and care gave her the life she should have had from the start. 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!

Thank you for saving Shadow's life Luke. With all the hours of training you spent with her, the trust and rapport you built with this beautiful dog, she now is having the best life with you and your wonderful family at the Farm. A beautiful video. 🐕🐾🐈👭🏡🌎👋🤗🥰❤

and now the biggest crime Shadow commits is stealing soup.. the transformation is remarkable.

She's definitely my favourite, i started following this channel because of her.

Beautiful recap of how far Shadow has travelled. And a lesson to us all in believing and what time love and patience can achieve

I would say that you are a miracle worker Luke, but I know that's not the case. It is all your hard work, commitment, dedication and never ending love that brings these dogs back from the brink. You are truly a man among men ❤

Shadows story is just amazing. I rescued a staffy/pitt from the streets and she was my best friend and protector for many years when I was homeless. Shadow reminds me so much of my baby Bryndle. 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. You have all done an amazing job.

Shadow’s transformation is one of your greatest achievements to date 👏 👏 👏

Why am I crying? Lol. Luke you absolutely saved sweet Shadow. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Luke your a Dog God! The people who previously owned Shadow should be in jail. Human garbage. We need tougher animals cruelty laws.

Shadow really touched my heart, I'm so relieved you're taking her under your wing. You are an amazing man Luke, with a fantastic family and team xx

I absolutely love watching Shadows journey .. She is such a loving,cuddly Staffy . She has so much love to give but was not able to give it . Well done to you Luke & Sam for making such a decision to keep her on & to rehabilitate. Such hard work very much rewarded ..🐶

Thank you to both of you in believing in Shadow, investing your time in her rehabilitation and persistent, commitment dedication. All she needed was someone to believe in her, show her the right way, and this giving her a new life. There are few people in this world like you. You have my utmost and admiration, all the way from rural South Africa.

What I love more than anything is how you make it sound like she has done all the work, but seriously, it's a joint effort starting with you. I think she is your biggest success story to date, although Molly was a very disturbed dog also. I love how they are praised with love and not food treats all the time. I am so happy she stayed with you guys and to think she help with the therapy of others is just incredible.

When ever I see Shadow my heart leaps. Thank you Luke and Sam for giving this precious girl the home she should always have had. To see her now, happy, smiling, playing and being her real self is just wonderful. Brilliant work all involved in giving back to this truly gorgeous girl. ❤

She is my bestest girl, soup stealer or not - and surely the jury is still out on that? 🤣😂 xxxxx

All this time later, and this video of Miss Shadow's story of success, never gets old, and never ceases to bring happy tears. It fills my heart with joy to see her today be the very happy, healthy minded dog she always wanted to be, and with the safe, loving family & pack that she always needed. Shadow is living a full life at the farm as the Evans showcase model of just what Luke and Sam have set out to do for dogs who are at the last chance doorstep.❤🎉🥰

I sadly remember when Shadow was sent to Luke and Sam. What changes they and she made with love and support is supercalafragelistic 💞❤️❤️❤️

Amazing what love, patience and compassion do. Love all the dogs but Shadow and her girls are my favs ❤️❤️❤️

watching again in 2024! 🤩

Watching this again in April 2024. If it wasn't for the intense work that Luke provided Shadow with I don't know where she would have been today. I wish more people would follow Luke's lead and give dogs that second chance they all deserve.

It just goes to show what lots of love, patience & great understanding from Uncle Luke & all those kind people who work at the farm can achieve. Including Aunty Sam, Elle, Evie & Wolfric. 💞💞💞 A big thank you for not giving up on Shadow. ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Thank you for being the place of rehabilitation and sanctuary for Shadow. She's living her best life because of you.

“Shadow is the Poster Girl for Rehabilitation at The Farm.” ⭐️ There is no doubt about that. My utmost of gratitude to Luke, Sam and The Farm for your commitment to rehabilitate Shadow and for providing her with the best environment to flourish and live out her best life. 🫶 🐾❤️🐾❤️

Shadow you darling. This story breaks my heart!!!! Thank you guys for not giving up on her. ❤❤❤

Thank you for not giving up on her and all the time you took to give her the life she deserves, this one had me bawling, you know she has a special place in my heart ♥️ almost as much as she does in yours ♥️🐾 Michelle

I remember how sad I felt then, watching Luke and channeling his feelings! But I also knew and trusted that this, too, would turn around!!! AND it did!! 💙💜❤️

That soup incident gets me every time! 😂 Good girl, Shadow! 💕

She is a shadow in name only. Shadow has graduated from training at The Farm and is now a bright shining star. She loves her family and friends and welcomes the new pups that come into rehab telling them they have come to the right place. She loves to chase birds and sunbathe in the driveway. Well deserved Shadow, you worked hard to get where you are.

I remember when she was brought to the farm and along with others cried many tears thinking of how she was treated and concerned for her future. I did LOL when Luke said she would only be there a few weeks….she has a great now because of the love and compassion of Luke and Sam. Milo is just such a sweet, fun doggie, he just wants to play and be friends. Thank Ben for capturing her story so well. 🐶💚

I 💗 Shadow! She's now living her best life!! Well done, Shadow!

Tears. Such an amazing journey for Shadow. Gratitude to Luke for his devotion to help Shadow.

This has opened the flood gates you guys are absolutely the heroes of the misunderstood tears of joy for shadow ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Shadow turned it around and now is loving girl who just needed guidance and love

Shadow epitomises everything that The Farm is. Love Shadow and her two girls ❤️❤️❤️

She’s a sweetheart. Seeing her help Chancie Boy made me smile. 🐾❤️

Remember Shadows journey well! From heart breaking to heart warming! And totally inspiring! ❤❤

Your Elle has bees so good with these rescues!! She has her Dad’s gift as a “dog trainer”

The tense hours of work with Shadow are sobering. The importance of continued routines/training is always emphasized by Luke and crew. I cried when we first found her and the puppies; and I smile when Shadow is warm and safe in the healing sunshine at the Evans farm.

Dear Shadow is the perfect example of how a dog trained to be aggressive, can be reversed to their naturally loving and playful nature. I know you've said Luke, that she keeps you on your toes every day 😅but she's in the safest and happiest place any dog with such a sad beginning, can be, and with Miss Red and Miss Violet alongside. A lovely video of this lovely girl. Thank you 🥰

Thank you for giving Shadow and her babies a chance at happiness!

Still ❣️❣️❣️ when I see Shadows story! From when she arrived at the farm to the beautiful family girl she is now. Who loves nothing better than her sunbathing! Being an Evans family member was her destiny! We love ❤️ you Shadow. 🇬🇧 xxx

Look at what your hours of love and dedication have done.....amazing !
