Tears filled the pup’s eyes as he continued to watch the family walk away. His heart had broken for the second time

Sad Shelter Dog Who Was Desperate To Find A Family Finally Receives Some Good News

I wish dogs never knew how painful it feels to have their hearts broken.

Stanford, a Pit Bull mix, felt deeply sad after his owners dumped him at a park and turned their back on him forever.

Luckily, a kind-hearted family found him and they contacted Rockdale County Animal Shelter in Georgia who took him in.

Since the family fell in love with the lovely pup, they returned to the shelter and filled out an adoption application.

The kind people visited Stanford at his kennel. As they kissed him goodbye and promised to take him home soon, the pup’s heart became filled with happiness.

However, things didn’t go according to plan.

Stanford Has His Heart Broken Again

When Stanford saw the family approaching his kennel, he stood on his back legs and stuck his paws through the kennel bars.

The pup looked at them with hopeful eyes, pleading them to take him home.

Unfortunately, the family came to say goodbye to Stanford and to tell him that they were unable to give him what he wanted the most… a loving home.

Since their rental property didn’t permit dogs, the wonderful family had no other choice but to give up on Stanford.

“They had to see Stanford one last time and explain why they couldn’t bring him home. Their last goodbye was painful …” Humans and Animals United wrote in a Facebook post.

The pup’s eyes became filled with tears as he kept watching the family walk away. His heart was broken for the second time.

Stanford kept waiting for them at the shelter, thinking that they would come back for him.

The Pup Needs Rescuing

Sadly, Stanford’s number was placed on the euthanasia list.

The sorrowful dog withdrew in the corner of his kennel, bent his head, and turned his face to the wall. He seemed to have given up on himself.

Fortunately, destiny had a surprise for the brokenhearted pooch.

The rescuers at Humans and Animals United, an animal rescue based in Florida, heard about Stanford and they felt heartbroken.

The good-hearted people knew they had to do whatever it took to help him.

After the rescue team worked hard and succeeded in finding Stanford a foster home, the volunteers rushed to the Rockdale Animal Shelter to pick the canine up.

Feeling Hopeful About The Future

The canine was excited to leave his kennel and step outside the shelter.

His eyes shined with joy and he began wagging his tail. Stanford realized that he was free.

The staffers were moved to tears as they watched the dog’s face beam with happiness. 

“Our boy left the shelter today in the happiest of spirits! He knew this was the start to his new life! There are no words to describe it,” Humans and Animals United wrote on Facebook.

The volunteers drove him to the clinic where he was given a complete medical checkup. After he was medically cleared, the pooch moved into his foster home.

His foster family showed him kindness and gave him a lot of love.

The pup felt lucky because his love was finally reciprocated.

Although the pooch loves spending time with his fosters, he dreams about finding his permanent home and showering his forever parents with love.

I hope that Stanford will soon realize his greatest dream. After all the heartbreaks the pup endured, he deserves to attain happiness and feel immensely loved.
