Depressed Dog Who Waited 400 Days To Be Adopted Gets Emotional Send-Off From Shelter

Depressed Dog Who Waited 400 Days To Be Adopted Gets Emotional Send-Off From Shelter

A dog who spent more than a year waiting to be adopted was given a royal send-off when she set off for her new home.


Queen was living at Great Plains SPCA in Kansas for so long that she slowly began to dip into depression, the shelter said.

She was at the shelter for more than 400 days and was constantly overlooked by potential owners.

So Scott Poore, who runs the company, Mission Driven, moved into her kennel to keep her company — and vowed not to move back out again until she had found her forever home.

Poore spent seven days living in the kennel alongside Queen to raise awareness, even decorating his new space and taking her on day trips to get ice cream.

He shared videos of his time in the shelter on his Facebook account, encouraging people to share and find Queen a new home.

A week later, the three-year-old terrier mix was on her way to her new home, so the staff decided to give her a royal send-off.

Everyone was confused as to why she wasn't adopted earlier!

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
