While shelters strive to provide the best and most comfortable environment for the animals under their care, it may not always be sufficient. Every animal deserves a human companion to experience true happiness.
When an animal spends an extended period in a shelter, there is a risk of losing hope, experiencing unhappiness, or even developing depression. Fortunately, foster homes play a crucial role in preventing such negative outcomes.
Arrival at the Shelter
Before finding himself at the Dallas Animal Services (DAS), one of the nation’s largest municipal animal shelters, Ronnie roamed as a stray, without a place to call home.
But upon his arrival at the Dallas shelter, Ronnie’s demeanor shifted. He seemed ecstatic, joyously exploring his new surroundings and eagerly greeting everyone he met, showcasing his lovable nature.
“He was a happy, friendly, wiggly boy who was so excited to see his human friends,” shared Marlo Clingman, the public information coordinator at Dallas Animal Services, with The Dodo.
Dedicated to finding loving homes for their animals promptly, DAS wasted no time in Ronnie’s case. Soon enough, a family stepped forward, offering to foster him, rewarding Ronnie’s patience and good behavior.
At The Fosters
The moment Ronni’s foster mom arrived to collect him, the joyous pup couldn’t contain his enthusiasm.
“He was thrilled to meet his foster mom, Ashley. He was all smiles and wags from the second he hopped in their car,” he recounted.
Thankfully, Ashley managed to capture a snapshot of Ronni as they settled into the car, and it was then she realized the depth of his happiness.
“His smile was so big he couldn’t keep his eyes open,” he remarked.
Ronni couldn’t contain his excitement upon realizing he’d found a loving family to call his own.
Stepping into his new home, he sensed the warmth and affection awaiting him.
Eager to reciprocate, he quickly showcased his best manners and showered his new family with affectionate kisses, grateful for the love and care they offered.
Witnessing the immense affection residing in the heart of this adorable pup, his foster family expresses their hope that he finds an adopter who not only treats him with the care he deserves but also reciprocates that love manifold.
“Ronnie loves to play and would be happy to have a big doggie buddy to romp around with or at least a friend to have playdates with. He likes men and women equally — he loves his foster mom and dad so much for breaking him out of the shelter. He has met a toddler and did great — he gave him a big sloppy, doggie kiss!” shared Marlo.
Last Remark
I’m confident this cheerful pup will swiftly find a cozy forever home filled with love, where he’ll be cherished and treated with the utmost care.
Best wishes, Ronni!
