When Ritter’s family faced various challenges, they made the tough decision to give Ritter and his sibling up to a shelter. The Humane Society in Hamilton County, Indiana took them in without hesitation, seeing the sadness in Ritter’s eyes. He appeared so downhearted, as if he had lost all hope.

Confused by why his family abandoned him, Ritter longed to be reunited with them. Sadly, that reunion was not going to happen.
