Pitbull Adopted By His Favorite Volunteer And He Can't Hide His Joy
Unfortunately, many dogs are not lucky enough to live with a happy and loving family.
Dogs of different breeds, sizes and ages are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the streets every day.
It is a sad world, but fortunately for every bad person there are hundreds of wonderful people doing wonderful deeds.
Thanks to animal shelters like Lewis and Clark Humane Society, many dogs get a second chance.
This shelter in Helena, Montana, is an open-admission shelter that takes in more than 1,500 animals each year.
They have a 98% adoption rate and they keep all dogs as long as it takes to find them a golden basket.
Some dogs are adopted fairly quickly, but for others, this shelter becomes almost a permanent home.
It is better than living all alone on the streets, but nothing beats loving parents and a home.
Bubba Jr. is one of those dogs who has lived at the shelter for a very long time. He unfortunately lived there for 93 days.
He is a beautiful dog, but because he is a Pitbull, he had a hard time getting adopted.
In one of their posts, the shelter wrote, "People keep throwing around terms for Pitbulls. Pitbull? Pittie? House hippo? Drool monster? LCHS doesn't care. They see me as I am. A huge, cuddly dog-head!"
This breed is constantly surrounded by many negative stereotypes, which do not help adoption at all.
It also does not help that many landlords are not exactly pet-friendly, especially when it comes to Pitbulls, so many landlords prohibit having a dog.
This minimizes adoption opportunities, which is why dogs like Bubba Jr. stay in shelters for so long.
Deep down, many of these dogs are very sweet creatures, patiently waiting for the day when happiness knocks on their door or kennel, to be exact.
In addition to having a very cute name, the shelter described Bubba Jr. as follows:
"If we gave out trophies to all of our dogs, Bubba J's trophy board would read, 'Most likely to kiss.' He loves to run up to his human teammates and give them kisses and hugs. He absolutely adores his human teammates and is always eager to join them for a walk or a movie on the couch. When he is not practicing his kisses, Bubba is working hard on his cuddling technique or gulping down his kibble. He really is a one-dog team; he doesn't need other dogs (or cats) to steal his attention."
Bubba loved the people at the shelter, but there was one volunteer whom Bubba Jr. was particularly fond of. And it seemed that this volunteer was equally fond of Bubba.
After 93 days at the shelter, a volunteer decided to end Bubba's search for a forever home and adopt him himself. What a wonderful day for the entire shelter that was.
Everyone was so touched by this act that they decided to post about it on their Facebook profiles, but this time they let Bubba himself do the talking....
Bubba's contribution to the journal melted everyone's heart. People were so happy that little Bubba was finally getting his happy ending, a warm bed, hugs and toys, but most of all a new father who will love him dearly.
The volunteer's selfless act showed everyone why it is so important to give shelter dogs desperately waiting for someone to love them a chance.
"Dear Diary, It's day 5 in my new home and how different everything is.... I love my new life in this place called "home". Every day I wake up to my favorite volunteer and every day is the best day ever!"
If you plan to get a dog, visit your local shelter and maybe you can also become someone's Favorite Volunteer and brighten their life.
There are so many dogs waiting for someone who will love them forever, but unfortunately many of them don't have the chance to stay at the shelter until they find a home.
