As the heartbreaking photo of a lonely, miserable American Bulldog sitting hopelessly in the kennel surfaced on social media, it broke everyone’s heart.
The shot was taken after the sad dog’s family abandoned him at the local animal shelter.
This may serve as a reminder to all pet owners that they have responsibilities to their living pets until the end of their life.
The picture of this sad dog, with a heartbreaking expression, was published on Facebook.
Ritter and Corky, two sad pups, were abandoned at the shelter by their owners as fast as their owners left their homes.
Ritter’s reaction to the new scenario was distressing, as though he realized he would be unable to play with other dogs or children.
Sadly, this is the reality that many animals at the shelter face on a daily basis.
But there was still hope for this gorgeous dog, as the shelter workers worked hard to locate Ritter a new home where he could find love and comfort.
Ritter, everyone deserves a second chance.
This terrible shot, taken by one of the shelter’s workers, was published on Facebook.
Fortunately, Ritter was adopted a short time later by a caring woman who promised to take care of him and love him forever.
Hopefully, his heart will mend quickly.
Later, the shelter expressed gratitude to everyone involved in finding a new home for Ritter, noting that there are many more cats and dogs at the shelter that are experiencing the same misery, despair, and disappointment as Ritter.
They are all hoping for the opportunity to be adopted and, someday, to be safe and happy.
