| Shanti ended up at a local shelter as a stray and not surprisingly her owner never came looking for her. Senior dogs have very little chance of adoption since most people want puppies or younger dogs, plus Shanti had another strike against her due to her color and size. Usually black and brown dogs are the last to get adopted, and the bigger they are the lesser their chances are. So poor Shanti really had no chance of making it out of the shelter alive and luckily we were able to squeeze her into one of our foster homes. It is very difficult, but at the same time very rewarding to be able to rehome a senior dog since they simply deserve to live out the rest of their lives in a loving and safe environment (and they repay their care givers a hundred fold with their unconditional love and devotion). Shanti was in very poor condition when we first got her – she was extremely underweight and had pressure sores from sleeping on hard surfaces. It also looks like she had an embedded collar at some point, which means that she was probably chained up in someone's backyard. Since she has arrived in her foster home she has started to gain weight and loves being inside the house. She is housetrained, enjoys going for car rides and walks, gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and can be left alone without being crated. She is very people oriented and will roll over for a belly rub any chance she gets. She also enjoys being brushed and did really well while being bathed. Please consider giving this sweet girl a chance – you won't regret it. |
