This Woman Asked The Animal Shelter For Two Dogs With The ‘Most Special Needs’ And Adopted Them

On July 24,2019, a woman named Leslie woman walked through the front doors of the Asheville Humane Society (AHS) asked to adopt the dogs with ‘the most special needs.

’

“Today is the kind of day that every person who works in an animal shelter dreams about!!!  Leslie walked through our front doors and said, ‘Which two dogs have been here the longest, with the most special needs? I’m here to take them both home with me,'” AHS writes on Facebook.

AHS workers introduced Leslie to Sam, a dog with extensive medical issues that had previously been adopted and returned and Brutus, a senior dog with severe separation anxiety.

They continued: “We couldn’t believe it! We introduced Leslie to Sam (who had extensive medical issues, was with us for 6 months, adopted then returned) and Brutus (who has severe separation anxiety, was with us for 5 months, and was originally surrendered to be euthanized at 13 years old).point 526 |

We vowed to find these two amazing dogs their second chance, no matter how long it took, and TODAY was their special day TOGETHER! Leslie has a three-story house and two acres of fenced-in yard where Sam and Brutus will spend their golden years.point 202 |

“As she walked them to the car, Leslie talked softly to these two sweet souls, with their creaky joints and grey muzzles, who have been through so much hardship.point 270 |

She told both Sam and Brutus that they now had a family to love them for the rest of their days.point 76 | And Leslie assured Brutus especially, who panics when left behind, that he would never spend another moment alone ever again ?? (Leslie, you have a heart of gold!!!) There wasn’t a dry eye in sight as staff, board members and volunteers gathered to say a bittersweet goodbye to two of our favorite furry friends!” point 350 | 1

“This compassionate community and all of YOU make happy endings like this possible. Sam and Brutus say thank you for their second chance.”
