A shelter dog in Virginia has finally found his fur-ever home after spending more than 400 days without anyone expressing interest in adopting him. It’s a happy ending that we have a feeling might make you grab a tissue.
Virginia shelter dog adopted after over a year
A Pit Bull Terrier named North Star, prior to adoption, had stayed at the Virginia Beach Animal Care And Adoption Center for over 400 days. As weeks turned into months, no one seemed to show any interest in taking the lovely pup home.
In a perfect world, no dog would ever have to spend several months or years in an animal shelter as they desperately watch other canines walk out with their new adoptive families. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are many dogs out there stuck in shelters with little hope.
However, North Star’s story took a positive turn when WTKR News 3 aired his story about a few weeks ago. Amazingly, one lady who watched North Star’s story got particularly drawn to the precious canine.
