When Ava, a sweet puppy from North Carolina, came to the Hoke County Animal Shelter, she was a picture of sadness. Her previous owner had relinquished her. Her entire existence had suddenly come to an end.
Ava was heartbroken, and it was obvious.
But, in a fortuitous turn of events, her circumstances improved. Ava’s spirit vanished in the same instant.
Kristi Pylant, who works at the shelter, was there the day that Ava arrived. She tried her best to ease Ava’s fears.
“She was absolutely terrified and sad, understandably,” Pylant told The Dodo. “After spending time with her, we became buddies.”
Ava’s broken heart began to mend, thanks to the patience shown to her by shelter staff. Little did Ava know, however, that her happy ending was right around the corner.
A visitor to the shelter earlier this month encountered Ava and decided to give her what she most desperately needed: a forever home with people who will adore her for the rest of her life.
Ava’s fortunes had turned around. And she seemed to be totally aware of it.
As a happy Ava prepared to check out, Pylant, who’d welcomed the formerly sorrowful dogs into the shelter, was there.
Ava, who was now all smiles, even took a moment to express her gratitude to Pylant by extending her paw in gratitude for all the affection.
