And still she waits

 

The first time I met this beautiful dog, she was confined to a very large crate at the front of the kennels at Satchel's. It was a period of extreme growth at the shelter and we had been inundated with unwanted pets. There seems to be periods of time during the year when people dump pets more often than others. 

Brooke is not fond of other dogs and couldn't be doubled up with any of our current dogs, so she had to wait until an open kennel was available before she could have her own. That was about 9 years ago. 

She has mellowed in her older years and is not the wild child she was when she first entered our shelter. She loves toys, walks and people and will give kisses and handshakes. She also like to ride in the car with the volunteers who spend time with her.

She is estimated to be about 10 years old, in great health, and still waiting. She has spent over 9 of her years at Satchel's. She has become one of the longest residents who is still searching for a home. 9 years equals 108 months, 108 months equals 3,285 days. 

3,000 days with no forever home; no person to call her own. She can stay at Satchel's :Last Resort. She is a happy girl. She loves the volunteers. 

Wouldn't it be nice if she could find a home and have her own person? Please share her story and mention her to friends. Although she needs to be the only pet, she will make a great one.
