While it is delightful to see a buzzy pooch in a shelter snagging their new peeps and a happily ever after, there is also a touch of sorrow to witness a pup having trouble becoming a forever part of a family.
This is a common issue for many shelter dogs and becomes even more compounded when their buddies at the center get adopted because they can be incredibly lonely.
Meet Chauncey
It all starts with Chauncey. Roo is a very timid but still lovable and playful girl who came from the Spartanburg Humane Society.
They watched their friends walk out of the new family through a hole in the door, and she spent a lot of time sitting there.
The folks who ran the shelter could not figure out why no one wanted Chauncey.
Chauncey is extremely shy until she knows you, Angel Cox, CEO of the Spartnburg Humane Society, said in an interview. Well, she was sort of a wallflower what with all the barking and activity at the shelter.
Everyone was feeling terrible for her, so they had kept her company a lot. They walked her, let her roam free, and fed her.
Cox added: She enjoyed the staff walking her and just coming up to hold her by the volunteers. And she appears to have been a volunteer favorite since she walks great on a leash.
Even though it looked like she would end up with no one, there was a family that came to the shelter to take her home. Chauncey stayed with his new family for a little and got to have a taste of a real home.
Sadly, it didn’t work out for her, and her new family took her back to the shelter.
A Bright New Future
Chauncey got a second shot at life solely due to the persistence of Spartanburg staff.
Unable to accept her plight, the workers took to Facebook, hoping for a new home for Chauncey.
A little while after, a family saw the post about her and decided to take her in.
This time, she charmed the new family right away, and they knew she was the one.
Cox told her: She immediately whored herself out. She is a very affectionate dog, and they were smitten with her kindness.
People were overjoyed at the shelter that she found her forever home and is finally happy.
Despite Chauncey’s considerable mini-tumult struggle with shyness, which led to inner confusion and exploration, she never lost hope. Well, her story will inspire thus people not to miss out on the quiet dog in adoption.
