A pit bull named Blue suffered the unthinkable: his family abandoned him.
Blue lived with a family in California for about a year, but when the family moved, they decided not to take Blue with them.
Blue was surrendered to the Carlson Shelter in California, a shelter with high euthanasia rate.
He was so moved that he did what anyone else would have done: he burst into tears. The volunteers tried to offer him a reward or even just a smile, but he was so overwhelmed by the emotion of what was happening that all he could do was cry. Some say the photos show tears dripping from possible allergies, but I think we all know how the tears ended up on this handsome Pitbull’s face.
Fortunately, the volunteers at Saving Carson Shelter Dogs decided to help him by posting a video on Social Media. The video was created and managed to gain attention in hopes that someone will take Blue home and give him a forever home!
You can see from the video that these wonderful people were just trying to lend a hand. All Blue was looking for was help and a friend to spend the rest of his life with.
Blue ended up being best friends with Jennifer McKay. Jennifer visited him not once, not twice, but three times, and the third time she took him home!
“He seemed very sad and depressed,” McKay told The Dodo. “You could tell that every time someone walked by, it was like he was looking for them.. [the owners],” she said. “It’s like he knew he’d been left there” However, when McKay visited him a third time, Blue perked up and went straight to his future master!
Ever since Blue got out of the kennel , he’s been a brand new dog. As soon as Blue arrived at his new home, he was given a bath and taken for a walk, and then he made himself at home sleeping on the sofa in the living room. When he’s not sleeping or driving around with the windows down, his favorite thing to do is look in the mirror.
Blue can now move on with her life, knowing she is in good hands.
Thank you to the millions of volunteers around the world who help animals in need like Blue find a forever home!
