As hard as no-kill animal shelters work to find the pets in their care permanent homes, every now and then thereโs a dog that gets overlooked by potential adopters, despite the shelterโs best efforts.
Dahlia is one such dog. The American Staffordshire Terrier Mix has lived her whole life at the Humane Society in Santa Barbara.
She arrived when she was 6 months old. Now 7 years old, volunteers at the shelter want to find their longest resident a forever home.
Update:
The shelterโs plea did not fall on deaf ears. Shortly after the Humane Society put out their plea, Daliah found a loving home! A man from Orange County saw her story on the news and drove to the shelter to meet her.
The Humane Society could not be more happy. In a statement they said, โWe are over the moon! For all of you that asked about how Dahlia is doingโฆshe has found her forever home!! Thank you to everyone that shared her story and reached out to us!โ
