We don't know why, because it doesn't make sense to us, but somehow, not every dog in the world gets adopted on its first day in the shelter. We know. Mindboggling. It doesn't make any sense. Every dog deserves a furrever home. Every dog should be adopted. And no dog should be at the shelter for longer than like- five minutes. So, the knowledge that some dogs are stuck there, waiting, sad and hopeless, is unthinkable.

But it doesn't happen sometimes. Sometimes, good doggos are stuck in shelters when they really shouldn't be, and that is the story of this cutie. She has been stuck in the shelter, waiting to get adopted for so, so long, getting sadder and sadder, that even her handlers started to lose hope. And so, they made a sign and shared her story, and just like it was supposed to, her story went viral and reached countless people, and before you know it, this doggo got her forever home.

    You look at this, and you think… "what could possibly be wrong this doggo?" Nothing. The answer is nothing. We don't know why she didn't get adopted up till this point. She is adorable and sweet and cute, and really, it everyone else's loss for not getting her earlier.

    Like… this is the saddest dog ever. And she is so pawfect! We cannot see a single reason for why she did not get adopted sooner. But we're glad that the shelter did something about it, and we're even more glad that she is in such loving hands now.
