Sad Senior Shelter Dog Gets Adopted Moments Before He Was Set To Be Euthanized

All sanctum kids just want someone to take them home, but for some of them, it’s a life or death situation. Some harbors have euthanasia lists where unwanted children are put to death. But after he eventually convinced someone to love him, one poor dog’s life was saved just in time.

Madeline Garvis is a levy for the BARC sanctuary, which is based in Houston. Recently, she came across an 11-year-old dog named Bear who she described as one of the saddest kids she had ever seen. The shelter claims that Bear arrived at BARC in June after being arranged as a hasty. No bone was considering endorsing him, and he seemed to have no remaining stopgap.

On TikTok, Madeline posted that he wouldn’t actually lift his head until she went into his kennel. Bear ended up on the sanctum’s euthanasia list because no one seemed to be interested in endorsing him, and Bear appeared to have given up as well. He was just about to be put to sleep.

However, Madeline decided to give the dejected old dog some time outside the kennel after noticing his commodity. She wrote that she choose to see if he was different outdoors. In the end, he was. Bear appeared a completely different dog after being initially startled, waving his tail and putting his tongue out.

Madeline positioned the dog outside, noting that it could shake, liked affection, and loved being outside. Madeline told the shelter to not say any bad word about Bear. He was quiet, behaved well when being leashed, walked with a leash that was practically falling off of him, knew how to sit and shake, and was heartworm-free. Madeline took part in Bear’s narrative to commemorate the importance of supporting vulnerable children and volunteering.

“Without her compassion, not a bone would have been aware of what a nice dog Bear was. We’ve had very little opportunity to interact with the children and observe how they behave in public, which is noticeably different, as supported by Bear,” Madeline remarked.

Thanks to that inspiring transformation outside, the story has a happy ending. Bear established his first home one hour before he was scheduled to be put to sleep. Madeline told the shelter that he was one of 28 lives who were put to sleep that day. It’s wonderful that a dog like him made the euth list. He truly has the ideal personality, he is so relaxed and kind nowadays.
