A puppy typically finds a new home within weeks of arriving at an animal shelter.However, senior dogs like Kane, a Pitbull, may never find their forever homes.
Over 3.1 million dogs are taken in annually by shelters all over the country, but only 2 million end up in new homes.The older, larger dogs among those 1.1 million suffer the most.
This is especially true for breeds like Pitbulls, which have a bad reputation already because their owners are dishonest.
Therefore, when Kane, an 18-year-old Pittie, arrived at the shelter, the prospects were not promising.
Because he was a senior dog, whoever took him would also have to care for his health issues.The poor dog had severe arthritis, and he was blind in one eye and had poor vision in the other.
However, despite his age and mounting medical costs, the sweet boy deserved a loving home.He’s a great buddy,“ said his non-permanent mother, Carole Sandy. „He’s very approachable.He’s very laid-back.“
The senior dog was championed by Carole and the shelter team.They discussed him on their social media accounts and even reported Kane’s story on the news.
Finally, the right family contacted Carole after learning about the senior dog.Kane went to the home of Phil and Ewa Halverson, and his new family could never have been more joyful.
Kane was able to spend his final days in happiness and peace as a result of the efforts of his foster mother and the shelter.
