Millions of rescued dogs in shelters worldwide are waiting for someone to adopt them. These dogs look at people with cute faces, hoping someone will choose them. A wonderful dog, Cassie waited 525 days in a shelter for her perfect family and a forever home.
At the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, Cassie did not attract many people’s attention during her first days. The few who adopted her returned her shortly after. However, this helped the shelter staff understand more about Cassie’s personality.
While Cassie was in the shelter, the staff enrolled her in a training program that she mastered over time. She also appeared in local advertisements for Jeff Schmitt Auto Group, a car dealership that donates $50 for every test drive of their seven dealerships. The donations go to organizations that help sheltered dogs like Cassie. The local ads helped Cassie find her new home.
Cassie’s behavior in the advertisements caught the eye of her new mom, who decided to adopt her. The shelter staff was overjoyed and shared the news on their Facebook page. In the post, they shared how long Cassie had waited for this day.
The staff was emotional when they said their goodbyes to Cassie but were happy that she had finally found her perfect home. Cassie’s story inspires everyone to adopt dogs instead of buying them.
