Late in August 2016, Nitro was discovered by a kind stranger and taken as a stray to the Brookhaven Animal Shelter in New York. The adorable pit bull quickly won the hearts of all the staff members and volunteers at the shelter, and everyone expected he would soon be going to his forever home.

Sadly, Nitro has now been waiting in his kennel at the shelter for more than 981 days, hoping to find a family.

Over the past several years, shelter life has been hard on Nitro. The 5-year-old pit bull doesn’t seem to understand why he’s there, and struggles whenever he has to be in his kennel, waiting for love and attention. Luckily, he is well loved by everyone who works and volunteers at the shelter, but of course, it’s not the same as having a home and a family.

According to volunteer Brittany Broderick of the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, “He is managing shelter life very badly.” When he gets out of his kennel, he will have a large smile on his face and is liked by many volunteers. He will cry in his kennel wondering when his day will come.

Despite his struggles with handling shelter life, Nitro so often has a huge smile on his face …

… and is definitely one of the smiliest dogs around.

Nitro is a very energetic dog that enjoys playing fetch, running around outside, and taking walks. He’d like a family that could keep up with his exuberance and play outside with him as much as possible. Additionally, he must be the sole pet in his new home and would thrive in an environment free of small children.

The only thing Nitro really wants is a family who will take him out of the shelter and show him all the love, knowing that he would repay it all to them every day.

“All he wants is to be loved and be at home where he belongs,” Broderick said. “Not a shelter.”
