Despite the tireless efforts of no-kill animal shelters to find forever homes for their residents, sometimes there are pets like Dahlia who struggle to catch the eye of potential adopters, despite the shelter’s best endeavors.
Dahlia, an American Staffordshire Terrier Mix, has spent her entire life at the Humane Society in Santa Barbara.
She arrived at the shelter when she was just 6 months old and, now at 7 years old, the volunteers at the shelter are determined to secure a loving forever home for their longest resident.
A shelter volunteer shared an endearing video of Dahlia enjoying attention and described her as, “a sweet, smart, loving, loyal big lap dog… looking for a loving single-pet home. She will surely bring immense happiness to someone!”
Fortunately, the shelter’s appeal did not go unnoticed. Following the plea from the Humane Society, Dahlia finally found her forever home! A man from Orange County saw her story on the news and made the journey to the shelter to meet her.
The Humane Society expressed their joy with a statement, “We are ecstatic! To all who inquired about Dahlia’s well-being… she has been adopted by her loving forever home! Thank you to everyone who shared her story and reached out to us!”
