Canines have their origin from wolves and are social animals. Although they have been domesticated, dogs still need a pack, which can be in the form of a human family. This is the reason why adopting a dog is always a thrilling experience.
At last, the pooch has discovered its tribe! It’s truly touching when canines from the shelter find their forever homes. It’s especially thrilling when a dog has spent a significant amount of time in the shelter before being adopted.
Paco, a Pitbull breed, and an American Staffordshire Terrier has been residing at a shelter for 270 days. His age and breed made it challenging for him to find a new home until a couple showed up to adopt him. Paco’s wait came to an end on that day as he was finally going home with his forever family. As soon as Paco’s new father arrived, he couldn’t contain his excitement and started bouncing around. Initially, Paco didn’t understand what was happening when he saw the shelter staff and his new dad approaching him, but soon he realized that he was finally heading towards his forever home when his new dad reached out to him through the rails.
He couldn’t contain his excitement as the day he had longed for had finally arrived! Despite attempts to calm him down, who could blame him? After all, he was about to move in with his forever family! Paco would no longer be alone as he will now live with a family that has committed to loving and caring for him every single day for the rest of his life.
Being a Pitbull or Pitbull mix living in a shelter can be extremely challenging. There are countless myths and misconceptions surrounding the breed, making it almost impossible for them to be adopted.
Nonetheless, some people who are knowledgeable about and interested in Pitbull breeds deliberately choose to adopt them as their pets. For instance, Paco’s story exemplifies this. Paco’s journey to a new life commenced as soon as he and his new family left the shelter. Since then, they have given him nothing but love and care, even through the trying and nerve-racking days. Unfortunately, many people believe that everything is smooth sailing when an animal is adopted into a forever home. However, there are several things that social media fails to disclose. There is often a settling-in phase during which the animal adjusts to its novel environment. There may also be days when the animal falls ill.
Sometimes, these furry little creatures can wreak havoc on their human family’s house. However, their adoptive family chooses to love and nurture them despite all the ups and downs.
