There is never a justifiable reason to abandon a loyal pup that has only given unconditional love to its owner.
Those who easily abandon dogs often take them for granted, failing to recognize that these sweet animals have emotions too.
Thankfully, there are compassionate individuals willing to help and bring these abandoned dogs to shelters, but it cannot fully heal the wounds caused by the owner’s betrayal.
Though being placed in a shelter is better than being left outside without food, water, and warmth, it still falls short of a warm and loving home.
A heartwrenching photo captured by the High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) in one of the New Mexico shelters depicts a dog yearning for affection, attention, and a devoted owner who will never betray him.
The HPHS is dedicated to rescuing animals in Curry County and nearby regions from mistreatment and neglect. While the organization highlights uplifting stories, it also raises awareness about the challenges surrounding dog ownership and the heartbreaking issue of canine abandonment.
The HPHS team diligently captures photos of dogs at their shelter and partnering shelters, allowing them to encounter a little doggie that appeared utterly devastated, with tears even visible in his eyes.
The heart-wrenching sight of the sad pup behind the kennel doors moved the HPHS staff to capture a photo and share the reality of a dog’s life after being abandoned.
The image was truly heartbreaking, and the story behind it even sadder. The doggie appeared to know that no one was coming to take him home from the shelter, resigning himself to the possibility of spending the rest of his life there.
During the photoshoot, his eyes seemed to plead for someone to give him a loving home.
When the HPHS posted the photos on their official Facebook page, they had a hopeful feeling about the crying doggie’s fate. Their intuition proved right, as applications to adopt him poured in from all corners of the world.
The shelter volunteers carefully selected a woman who they believed would be the perfect match for the pup, and she proved to be just that. Offering him a forever home filled with love and positive energy, she brought out the best in the pup, whose story had touched the hearts of many. Dreams truly do come true, as the “Crying Dog” found his happy ending in a home filled with affection and care.
The heartwarming story of the ‘Crying Dog’ has garnered immense popularity, leading many people to contact the shelter even after the pup has been adopted for years.
To clarify the current situation, the HPHS decided to delete the original post featuring the dog’s photo and updated it with the message: “We do appreciate the kind, concerned callers wanting to adopt her; however, the dog was adopted that day, 4 years ago.”
While the ‘Crying Dog’ has found a loving forever home, the shelter emphasizes that there are still numerous wonderful pooches deserving of adoption. They express hope that those interested in adopting the ‘Crying Dog’ have found another deserving canine companion in need of a loving home as well.
