Late in the month of January, a kind stranger in New Jersey saw Sammy wandering the roadways and brought him to the shelter run by the Monmouth County SPCA.
The conduct of the dachshund surprised even the most seasoned members of the staff. “The dog spends his entire day sitting and staring out the window as if he is waiting for someone to come and get him,” the shelter wrote on Facebook, describing the animal’s behavior. “Every time someone walks by, he stretches his entire body forward, then droops when he realizes the person has passed,” the shelter added.
The dog was obviously not a stray, but little little was known about its owner until it came to light that he was a senior citizen who had just gone away.
In addition, the shelter was told that Sammy had not only lost his owner but also a long-time partner who had shared a house with him. Both of these people had lived together.
The story of the dachshund drove some to tears on social media. Over two thousand people responded to the post about Sammy that was made on Facebook.
She adds, “There are no words, and tears prohibit me from reading anything.” “There are no words.” The phrases “They don’t seem to stop” and “My heart is crushed” come to mind. Sammy’s admirers expressed their sympathy by saying things like, “It’s tough to fathom how shattered this tiny soul is.”
The animal shelter made a plea to its followers, asking them to share the story of a troubled dog named Sammy on social media in the hopes of finding the dog a new home.
The story was told to approximately three thousand individuals, and the feedback indicated that it was helpful. In the last few days of January, we received the wonderful news that Sammy had been taken captive.
There were many people interested in running for office, as shown by the many letters and calls that were received.
It took the staff at the shelter around seven hours to look through all of the applications before they were successful in locating Sammy’s owner.
The animal shelter is pleased at the shift in their charge’s fortunes and has high hopes that the dog’s new owner will be able to help cure the dog’s spiritual scars.
The Monmouth County SPCA also advised individuals not to pass up the opportunity to visit the shelter and discover their true companion there, stating that there are many “treasures” with loving hearts that are waiting for their chance each and every day.
