Baby, a pittie, was clearly puzzled when he was dumped off at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. The year-old puppy was discovered walking the streets of Northeastern Pennsylvania, suddenly in a new environment, surrounded by unfamiliar people, and she didn’t like it.
She want to locate a safe haven or return home. P.J. Regan, the shelter’s medical manager, took a picture at that point.
You could tell she was definitely nervous in the new environment and new surroundings,” Ashley Wolo, Griffin Pond Animal Shelter’s executive director, told The Dodo. “That picture of her looking out the window of the door kind of looks as if she was waiting for her owner to come through. It was heartbreaking, to say the least.”
At the shelter, Baby was vetted, dewormed and treated for fleas and ticks. And though she was feeling better, the stress of the kennel was causing her to shut down emotionally.
“There are so many other dogs in our kennel area,” Wolo explained, “that there is a lot of barking, it’s really loud, and it’s unpleasant.” “She was a completely different dog outside in our play area.” She enjoyed playing and running about. We saw a different side of her, and it was just how a dog should act.”
Pregnant Dog Rescue was contacted by the shelter to see whether they had room for Baby. The pitbull got along so well with the other dogs that they agreed to adopt her right away — but that didn’t last long.
Baby’s adopters noted in an email, “She has been a lovely pup from the minute we got her home.” “She’s pretended to be here the entire time.” She is well-behaved at mealtimes and walks well on a leash.”
“I work from home, and she patiently sits and sleeps on my feet while I work,” Baby’s mom explained. “A nicer dog has never existed.”
In her new home, Baby has entirely changed. She only looks wistfully out a window now when she’s expecting her adoring family to return home with a special gift for her.
