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!

Working Mom Gets Emotional After Realizing She's Missing All Her Baby's Major Milestones

Anyone who has raised children or is regularly around children can attest that they truly do grow up so fast.

That's what makes it so hard for new parents to go back to work after having a baby. It's not necessarily balancing the new responsibilities of parenthood with their preexisting responsibilities as a working adult, in an office and at home. It's the fact that they're going to miss out on some of the first moments and milestones with their children, which they can't ever get back.

Guy Sparks Debate After Preventing Seats In Front Of Him From Reclining For Entire 8-Hour Overnight Flight

We can all agree that flying can be long, frustrating, and uncomfortable, and most of us would love to experience a little more comfort when we fly. But preventing other people from seeking comfort likely isn't the way to go about it.

TikToker @heyimgazza was surprised when he witnessed a fellow passenger's questionable behavior and pressed the record button, capturing a man on camera who sat with his arms up for eight hours, hands pressed against the seats in front of him to prevent three passengers from reclining their seats.
