An adorable dog who cried alone in his kennel at an adoption centre has made a remarkable transformation after finding a family.
Juice was taken in by Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center in Maryland, USA, but ended up staying for 10 months until someone took him home. The watched on as his furry friends found new families while he was left behind.
He began to lose his spirit due to the stress of shelter life, leading to concern from rescue workers. One worker said: "For a long time, Juice was the example we used as a who could manage the stress of shelter life without getting depressed. But in the past month that changed – he started to lose his confidence."
He was briefly adopted but things didn't work out and he was promptly returned, leaving Juice back at square one. "It wasn't the right match, and after a couple of days, he was back in his kennel, more stressed than ever. Staff began to notice him crying, panting, and pacing more frequently," the worker added.
In a bid to lift his spirits, one rescue worker took Juice home for a sleepover, but his return to the kennel made him inconsolable. "One of our staff took him home for a sleepover to give him a break from the shelter and try to help him relax. But when she brought him back in the morning and put him back in the kennel, he started crying and didn't stop all day," they continued.
With fears escalating that Juice was losing himself, staff launched a poignant plea seeking the perfect pawrent to adopt this lovable but lonely dog. Luckily, their efforts were not in vain, and Juice was adopted within a few days.
Now, four months on, Juice no longer cries alone - and instead spends much of his time running around his new garden playing with his owners. He has lost some weight, and is even getting ready to try out weight pulls as a new activity.
Commenting on Juice's emotional transformation, one social media user said: "This absolutely melts my heart. I could not get this sweet baby out of my mind! I am so happy he finally has a loving home! "Another user added: "Yay! So happy for Juice! This happy ending brought tears to my eyes. Many thanks to his new family for adopting him and giving him a forever home."
A third user said: You can see the happiness in his face, he knows he's part of a family now! "For a long time, Juice was the example we used as a dog who could manage the stress of shelter life without getting depressed. But in the past month that changed – he started to lose his confidence."
