Senior shelter dogs frequently have trouble finding homes. Many incredibly attentive and loving seniors are neglected since most people are more interested in young dogs and puppies. One such puppy is Shey, a 14-year-old tiny poodle who is deaf, partially blind, and mostly toothless. Shey’s family opted not to move with him, thus he ended up at Animal Rescue League of Iowa. For several months, the unfortunate dog waited and waited for a new family to adopt him.
The small poodle was in poor condition when Shey was dropped off at the shelter. In addition to being deaf and partially blind, Shey also had a tooth condition that had gone untreated for an excessive amount of time. He had to have all but one of his teeth out since they were absolutely decayed. Shay’s chances of being adopted were limited because she was old, handicapped, and toothless.
The little senior was left out repeatedly for four months while seeing pup after pup find their ideal homes. He was so full of love to share. He only required a chance from someone. A small boy eventually entered the shelter one day after that. Together with his mother, Tristan went to the shelter in search of a small dog to love and adopt. Shey was immediately introduced to Tristan by the shelter workers, who knew right away that Shey would be ideal for them.
It was obvious that Shey and Tristan were meant to be a family the moment they locked eyes. According to a spokesperson of the shelter, Shey felt at ease with Tristan right away. Tristan immediately gained Shey’s trust, and as he patted the cute little poodle, his face lit up with happiness. The young child wasn’t deterred when Tristan was made aware of Shey’s unique needs. He listened to everything he needed to know with extreme maturity and made it plain that he would stop at nothing to ensure Shey’s comfort.
In order to provide Shey with the finest care possible, Tristan made sure to ask as many questions as he could. He also carefully recorded the future vet appointments that he would need to schedule for Shey. Tristan simply recognized Shey for what he is: a sweet, loving little pup in need of affection. Whereas some people might view him as broken goods or “too much work,” Tristan saw him for what he is. Since Shey now has a family who adores him for who he is—a loving pup—he won’t ever have to experience being abandoned again. Tristan is showing the dog a lot of love and care while also seeing to all of Shey’s requirements.Shey is fortunate to have found such a lovely home, and the small dog can now wake up each day of his life feeling content and secure. We are all inspired by this young boy’s maturity and kindness.
